Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION AND SETUP

This chapter explains how to connect power, monitors and audio visual devices to your

NC1 Input/Output Module. It also reviews the registration process. After completing this

short section, you’ll be all set to begin using NewTek Studio I/O Module.

SECTION 1.1 WELCOME

Thank you for purchasing this NewTek product. As a company, we are extremely proud of our record of

innovation and commitments to excellence in design, manufacture, and superb product support.

NewTek’s innovative live production systems have repeatedly redefined broadcast workflows, providing new

possibilities and economy. In particular, NewTek has been a leader in introducing integrated devices

providing a complete set of tools related to program creation and broadcast, along with web streaming and

social media publishing. This tradition continues with the NC1 Studio IO Module. Its implementation of NDI®

(Network Device Interface) protocol places your new system squarely in the forefront of IP technology

solutions for the video broadcast and production industries.

SECTION 1.2 OVERVIEW

Commitments and requirements can change from production to production. A powerful, versatile platform

for multi-source production and multi-screen delivery workflows, the Studio I/O Module quickly pivots to

accommodate additional cameras, devices, displays or destinations.

With NC1 IO’s turnkey installation and operation, you can easily assemble a network of modules to configure

your own multi-system and multi-site workflows.

From increasing your available inputs and outputs, to merging established and emerging technologies, to

linking locations across your network, the NewTek Studio I/O Module is a universal solution that adapts to

your production needs.

•Translate up to 8 compatible video sources to SDI or NDI for input, output, or a combination of both

•Configure for dual-channel 4K Ultra HD at 60 frames per second with support for 3G-SDI quad-link

grouping

•Integrate with compatible systems and devices across your network for switching, streaming, display,

and delivery

•Stack modules in a single location or station in multiple locations to meet the demands of your

productions

SECTION 1.3 SETTING UP

1.3.1 COMMAND AND CONTROL

Hint: NC1 IO's interface requires a monitor resolution setting of at least 1280x1024.

1. Connect an external computer monitor to the HDMI

port on the backplate (see Input/Output connections).

2. Connect the mouse and keyboard to USB ports also on

the backplate.

3. Connect the power cord to NC1 IO's backplate.

4. Turn on the computer monitor.

5. Press the Power switch on NC1 IO's faceplate (located

behind the drop-down door).

At this point, the blue Power LED will illuminate, as the device

boots up. (If this does not happen, check your connections

and retry). Though not a requirement, we do strongly

recommend that you connect NC1 IO using an uninterruptable

power supply (UPS), as for any ‘mission critical’ system.

Likewise, consider A/C “power conditioning”, especially in

situations where local power is unreliable or ‘noisy’. Surge

protection is especially important in some locales. Power

conditioners can reduce wear on NC1 IO's power supplies and

other electronics, and provide a further measure of protection

from surges, spikes, lightning and high voltage.

A word about UPS devices:

‘Modified sine wave’UPS devices are

popular due to low manufacturing

costs. However, such units should

generally be viewed as being of low

quality and possibly inadequate to

fully protect the system from abnormal

power events.

For a modest added cost, consider a

"pure sine wave" UPS. These units can

be relied on to supply very clean

power, eliminating potential problems,

and are recommended for applications

demanding high reliability.

FIGURE 1

1.3.2 INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

External audio and video sources are connected to the appropriate inputs.

1. HDMI –monitor port

2. Ethernet –network connections

3. USB –connect keyboard, mouse and other peripheral devices

4. Motherboard audio connectors

5. Genlock and SDI In/Out –current generation units (designated ‘Mark M’) provide HD-BNC

connectors (High Density BNC); earlier (Mark D) units employ DIN 1.0/2.3 (Mini BNC) connectors

6. Power

SECTION 1.4 NETWORKING

Generally, simply connecting a suitable cable from one of the two Gigabit Ethernet ports on NC1 IO's

backplane is all that is required to add it to a local area network (LAN). In some settings, additional steps

may be required. You can access the system Network and Sharing control panel to accomplish more

extensive configuration tasks. If further help connecting is required, please consult your system

administrator.

Chapter 2 USER INTERFACE

This chapter explains the layout and options of the user interface, and how to configure

NC1 IO audio and video input and output. It also introduces the various supplemental video

production features NewTek IO provides, including Proc Amps, Scopes and capture.

SECTION 2.1 THE DESKTOP

The NC1 IO default Desktop interface is shown below, and provides very useful remote monitoring options

in addition to configuration and control features.

The Desktop interface includes dashboards running across the top and the bottom of the screen. By default,

the large middle section of the Desktop is divided into quadrants, each displaying one video ‘channel’.

Beneath each channel’s viewport is a toolbar. (Note that additional viewport toolbar controls are hidden

when not in use, or until you move the mouse pointer over a viewport.)

Continue reading for an overview of the NC1 IO Desktop features.

FIGURE 2

2.1.1 CONFIGURE CHANNELS

NC1 IO allows you to select different audio and video sources for each channel via the

Configure panel ( Figure 4). Click the gear next to the channel label below a viewport to

open its Configure panel (Figure 3).

INPUT TAB

FIGURE 4

The tabbed Input pane allows you to select audio and video sources for this channel, and set their format.

You can immediately choose any NDI or SDI connector configured as an input (the latter are shown in the

Local group), a webcam or PTZ camera with compatible network output, or even an input from a suitable

external A/V capture device. (Quad-link selections list the four associated SDI input numbers that will be

used, for reference.)

FIGURE 3

See also Appendix A: Key/Fill Connections for key/fill connection details.

A Delay setting is provided for both audio and video sources, allowing precise A/V synchronization where

a/v source timing differs.

CLIPS AND IP SOURCES

As mentioned in the previous section, an IP

(network) source –such as a PTZ camera with NDI

network video output –can be directly selected.

The Video Source drop down menu contains an

Add Media item to let you select a video file, and

Add IP Source menu item (Figure 5).

Clicking the Add IP Source entry opens the IP Source

Manager. Adding entries to the list of sources

shown in this panel causes corresponding entries

for new sources to appear in the Local group shown

in the Video Source menu of the Configure Channel

panel (Figure 6).
