This format of this should be MACHINENAME (SourceName). This format is the same as you would see the source listed in the NDI In .\n\n\n\n  fps - Specify the frame rate to send at. Note that NDI uses the  partially as a guide to control how to compress the frames. The higher the , the more compressed the frames will be. So for example sending at 1  will result in higher image quality that sending at 30 .\n\n\n\n  lowperformancebehavior -  - When the NDI sending thread isn't able to keep up due to insufficient system resources (usually available CPU time), this controls the resulting behavior of the node.\n\n stallmainthread - The main thread will stall, giving up it's resources so the NDI sender can keep-up with the frames that are being sent. This will likely result in the main thread dropping frames. skipframes - The main thread will not stall, and instead will not give the sender new frames until it has processed the ones it currently has. This can result in the NDI sender being starved of CPU time and running at a far lower  than the main thread.\n\n  outputpixelformat -  - Controls the pixel format the output is encoded into.\n\n fixed8 - 8-bits fixed per color channel. fixed16 - 16-bit fixed per color channel.\n\n  includealpha - Also sends the alpha channel when this is turned on.

This multiplies all the TOPs resolutions by the set amount. This is handy when working on computers with different hardware specifications. If a project is designed on a desktop workstation with lots of graphics memory, a user on a laptop with only 64MB VRAM can set the Global  Multiplier to a value of half or quarter so it runs at an acceptable speed. By checking this checkbox on, this  is affected by the global multiplier.\n\n\n\n  outputaspect -  - Sets the image aspect ratio allowing any textures to be viewed in any size. Watch for unexpected results when compositing TOPs with different aspect ratios.

Images will look jaggy when viewing at any zoom level other than Native . linear - Uses linear filtering between pixels. This is how you get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail.\n\n  fillmode -  - Determine how the  image is displayed in the viewer.\nNOTE:To get an understanding of how TOPs work with images, you will want to set this to Native  as you lay down TOPs when starting out. This will let you see what is actually happening without any automatic viewer resizing.\n\n\n useinput - Uses the same Fill Viewer settings as it's input. fill - Stretches the image to fit the edges of the viewer. width - Stretches image to fit viewer horizontally. height - Stretches image to fit viewer vertically. best - Stretches or squashes image so no part of image is cropped. outside - Stretches or squashes image so image fills viewer while constraining it's proportions.

      "description": "The NDI Out  will send image and audio data over IP to other Newtek NDI® (Network Data Interface) enabled applications. The NDI® protocol is created by Newtek.\t\nSee also NDI, NDI In TOP and NDI DAT.\nNOTE for Windows OS - If experiencing connection issues make sure Windows Firewall is disabled.\nndioutTOP_Class\n\nContents\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n  active - Makes itself available as a source and sends out image data when active.\n\n\n\n  name - Specify the name for this source.\n\n\n\n  failovername - If this source fails while receivers are connected to it, they will instead try to connect to the specified Failover Source. This format of this should be MACHINENAME (SourceName). This format is the same as you would see the source listed in the NDI In .\n\n\n\n  fps - Specify the frame rate to send at. Note that NDI uses the  partially as a guide to control how to compress the frames. The higher the , the more compressed the frames will be. So for example sending at 1  will result in higher image quality that sending at 30 .\n\n\n\n  lowperformancebehavior -  - When the NDI sending thread isn't able to keep up due to insufficient system resources (usually available CPU time), this controls the resulting behavior of the node.\n\n stallmainthread - The main thread will stall, giving up it's resources so the NDI sender can keep-up with the frames that are being sent. This will likely result in the main thread dropping frames. skipframes - The main thread will not stall, and instead will not give the sender new frames until it has processed the ones it currently has. This can result in the NDI sender being starved of CPU time and running at a far lower  than the main thread.\n\n  outputpixelformat -  - Controls the pixel format the output is encoded into.\n\n fixed8 - 8-bits fixed per color channel. fixed16 - 16-bit fixed per color channel.\n\n  includealpha - Also sends the alpha channel when this is turned on. If this is off the alpha will be 1.0.\n\n\n\n  grouptable - Can be  table with a column with the header 'groups'. Each cell listed under that heading is added as one of the NDI groups this output annouces itself as part of.\n\n\n\n  audiochop - Specify the CHOP (containing audio data) to send out on the NDI stream.\n\n\n\n  metadata - Specify the DAT (containing the metadata in table format or valid XML format) to send out on the NDI stream. The metadata can be read in by the NDI In TOP using an Info .\n\n\n\n\n\n  outputresolution -  - quickly change the resolution of the 's data.\n\n useinput - Uses the input's resolution. eighth - Multiply the input's resolution by that amount. quarter - Multiply the input's resolution by that amount. half - Multiply the input's resolution by that amount. 2x - Multiply the input's resolution by that amount. 4x - Multiply the input's resolution by that amount. 8x - Multiply the input's resolution by that amount. fit - Fits the width and height to the resolution given below, while maintaining the aspect ratio. limit - The width and height are limited to the resolution given below. If one of the dimensions exceeds the given resolution, the width and height will be reduced to fit inside the given limits while maintaining the aspect ratio. custom - Enables the  parameter below, giving direct control over width and height.\n\n  resolution -  - Enabled only when the  parameter is set to Custom . Some Generators like Constant and Ramp do not use inputs and only use this field to determine their size. The drop down menu on the right provides some commonly used resolutions.\n\n resolutionw - resolutionh -\n\n  resmenu - A drop-down menu with some commonly used resolutions.\n\n\n\n  resmult - Uses the Global  Multiplier found in Edit>Preferences>TOPs. This multiplies all the TOPs resolutions by the set amount. This is handy when working on computers with different hardware specifications. If a project is designed on a desktop workstation with lots of graphics memory, a user on a laptop with only 64MB VRAM can set the Global  Multiplier to a value of half or quarter so it runs at an acceptable speed. By checking this checkbox on, this  is affected by the global multiplier.\n\n\n\n  outputaspect -  - Sets the image aspect ratio allowing any textures to be viewed in any size. Watch for unexpected results when compositing TOPs with different aspect ratios. (You can define images with non-square pixels using xres, yres, aspectx, aspecty where xres/yres != aspectx/aspecty.)\n\n useinput - Uses the input's aspect ratio. resolution - Uses the aspect of the image's defined resolution (ie 512x256 would be 2:1), whereby each pixel is square. custom - Lets you explicitly define a custom aspect ratio in the Aspect parameter below.\n\n  aspect -  - Use when Output Aspect parameter is set to Custom Aspect.\n\n aspect1 - aspect2 -\n\n  armenu - A drop-down menu with some commonly used aspect ratios.\n\n\n\n  inputfiltertype -  - This controls pixel filtering on the input image of the .\n\n nearest - Uses nearest pixel or accurate image representation. Images will look jaggy when viewing at any zoom level other than Native . linear - Uses linear filtering between pixels. This is how you get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail.\n\n  fillmode -  - Determine how the  image is displayed in the viewer.\nNOTE:To get an understanding of how TOPs work with images, you will want to set this to Native  as you lay down TOPs when starting out. This will let you see what is actually happening without any automatic viewer resizing.\n\n\n useinput - Uses the same Fill Viewer settings as it's input. fill - Stretches the image to fit the edges of the viewer. width - Stretches image to fit viewer horizontally. height - Stretches image to fit viewer vertically. best - Stretches or squashes image so no part of image is cropped. outside - Stretches or squashes image so image fills viewer while constraining it's proportions. This often leads to part of image getting cropped by viewer. nativeres - Displays the native resolution of the image in the viewer.\n\n  filtertype -  - This controls pixel filtering in the viewers.\n\n nearest - Uses nearest pixel or accurate image representation. Images will look jaggy when viewing at any zoom level other than Native . linear - Uses linear filtering between pixels. Use this to get  images in viewers to look good at various zoom levels, especially useful when using any Fill Viewer setting other than Native . mipmap - Uses  mipmap filtering when scaling images. This can be used to reduce artifacts and sparkling in moving/scaling images that have lots of detail.\n\n  npasses - Duplicates the operation of the  the specified number of times. Making this larger than 1 is essentially the same as taking the output from each pass, and passing it into the first input of the node and repeating the process. Other inputs and parameters remain the same for each pass.\n\n\n\n  chanmask - Allows you to choose which channels (R, G, B, or A) the  will operate on. All channels are selected by default.\n\n\n\n  format -  - Format used to store data for each channel in the image (ie. R, G, B, and A). Refer to Pixel Formats for more information.\n\n useinput - Uses the input's pixel format. rgba8fixed - Uses 8-bit integer values for each channel. srgba8fixed - Uses 8-bit integer values for each channel and stores color in sRGB colorspace. rgba16float - Uses 16-bits per color channel, 64-bits per pixel. rgba32float - Uses 32-bits per color channel, 128-bits per pixels. rgb10a2fixed - Uses 10-bits per color channel and 2-bits for alpha, 32-bits total per pixel. rgba16fixed - Uses 16-bits per color channel, 64-bits total per pixel. rgba11float - A RGB floating point format that has 11 bits for the Red and Green channels, and 10-bits for the Blue , 32-bits total per pixel (therefore the same memory usage as 8-bit RGBA).
