SuperStage NDI Inputs

Applies to SuperStage 26H2.6 and later ｜ Module: SuperNdi

Purpose

Give each video feed a name the scene can rely on, then point that name at whichever NDI source is on the network today.

Open: the NDI configuration panel from the SuperStage toolbar. There is a help button in the top-right corner.

1. Why There Are Two Names

Screens and surfaces in the scene refer to an input name you choose — something like MainScreen or Camera1. Which actual NDI source that name points at is set here, in one place.

That indirection is the whole point: the machine sending the feed will have a different name at every venue, and rebuilding the scene each time is not workable. Repoint the name here and everything using it follows.

Screen in the scene  ──refers to──>  input name "MainScreen"  ──maps to──>  NDI source on the network
(never changes)                      (changed in this panel)                (different at every venue)

2. Setting Up an Input

1. Type a name into the box at the top and click Add. Pick something that describes the role, not the machine;
2. Click Refresh Sources to look for what is broadcasting on the network. The count on the right tells you how many were found;
3. In the Configured Inputs list, open the drop-down next to your input and pick a source.

Changes take effect at once and are remembered for next time.

Remove deletes an input; anything in the scene still pointing at that name will have nothing to show.

3. About the Source List

The list is a snapshot, not a live view. A source that was switched on after your last refresh will not be there until you click Refresh Sources again.

Discovery runs in the background so the editor keeps responding; a progress indicator is shown while it scans.

Choosing <None> unhooks an input without deleting it — useful when a feed is temporarily offline and you do not want to lose the setup.

4. When a Feed Does Not Appear

Symptom	What to do
No sources found	NDI only finds machines on the same network. Check that the sending machine is on the same subnet and that a firewall is not blocking it, then refresh again
The source is listed but nothing shows in the scene	Confirm the input name is actually the one the screen in your scene is set to — a typo in either place gives exactly this result
The feed was working and stopped	The sending machine most likely changed its source name. Refresh and pick it again

6. Notes

• The NDI runtime ships with the plugin; no separate NDI tools installation is needed;
• NDI depends on LAN discovery and network bandwidth; sources are produced by third-party software whose behaviour is outside this product's control;
• The authorisation scope of NDI capability is subject to the official pricing page and your order.
