If you want to record a local screen on the VideoSyncPro Studio computer, or the screen content on a mac or iOS device, you can do so using the NDI tools—provided the computer is powerful enough.
Note: To record screen content from external computers, we recommend a physical connection using a CamLink adapter (HDMI->USB) or a TBS (HDMI->LAN converter) due to the generally higher stability.
Installing NDI Tools
•Download and run the installer that fits the operating system with the screen to be captured:
https://ndi.video/type/ndi-tools/
•Confirm the default installer wizard dialogs to allow proper installation.
•Should an error message concerning creation of a data directory appear, simply confirm with OK. It is not relevant for us.
Configure NDI Screen Capture
•Start the NDI app just added.
•On first startup, you need to register in order to proceed.
When all is well, the NDI Tools start window appears:
•Click the Screen Capture module (Scan Converter on macOS).
A notification of where to find the available settings appears in the lower right corner:
•Right-clilck the Screen Capture icon, now available in the tray area in the lower right corner of your screen:
To record the whole screen:
•Clear the option Capture Setting > Region of Interest
To record a predefined area:
•Activate the option Capture Setting > Configure Rol.
•Position and re-size the now appearing frame to define the area to be recorded.
•If required, change the audio source for the NDI-stream to your needs:
Auto-Start Screen Capture Stream
To ensure that the NDI-stream is available automatically, activate the auto start feature:
•Click on the small settings icon in the top right corner of the NDI Tools main window. •Activate Screen Capture among the Launch at System Startup options.
Note: How to create an NDI-stream-based source in VidedeoSyncPro is explained in the section Add Windows AV-Source. |
