NEW NDI Processes for CUES

I have redone our NDI networking protocols within CUES to make things easier to remember and to lockdown and update firmware further to prevent further issues with NDI networking. Please have a quick read about what I have done below

April 18th, 2023

  • Updated firmware on each of the Netgear switches
  • Added all of our switches to a Netgear 'site' called CUES using [Netgear Engage Controller](https://www.netgear.com/support/product/m4250#download)
  • Updated IP addresses on all NDI devices to reflect new IP table (below)
  • Added NDI Camera to the theatre to replace old COAX cam

Netgear M4250-26G4XF-PoE+ (our production switches) Manual

Switch Configurations

In the Theatre

  • Purple: LX (ArtNET & sACN)
  • Blue: NDI (NDI5)
  • Red: Dante (Dante/AES67)

Morpheus (KMT Production Studio, 10.10.10.2)

Trinity (KMT Mezzanine, 10.10.10.3)

Neo (KMT Booth, 10.10.10.4)

Topology Trinity is in the Mezzanine with 20GB trunk lines connecting the production studio switch (Morpheus) and the one in the booth (Neo).

In the vMix Rack

CUES-BD-Play 10.10.10.119 * Installed in Prod Office
* DHCP POOL ***10.10.10.130 - 10.10.10.229*** * Any other devices...


Local Config for Devices

  • Example: Laptop 6
    • IPv4: 10.10.10.26
    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Default Gateway: 10.10.10.1

These numbers are a lot easier to remember and very repetitive.

Config Script

  • In addition to the numbers being easy to remember, they will be stored in a config file in Documents along with a script that can be executed by administrator to automatically reset the IP address to the correct settings.
