NDI PTZ Control 4+

Doesn’t support access manager

Was very keen for this app, but it doesn’t allow specifying IPs for cameras, so I have no way of using it yet. Am hoping this review helps others before purchasing but if this can get fixed, I’ll definitely test it out and update my review. Edit: yes these features aren’t listed in the app description, but I feel they should be expected from any NDI product these days, so am giving it 5 stars even though I haven’t been able to use it yet

Developer Response ,

These features you are asking for are not listed as part of the app description, it is noted and certainly a great idea, we have logged it to be added in a future release.

Does what it says on the tin

It took me a minute to work out how to scan for NDI sources (pull to refresh on the left) but once I did they all showed up instantly and I was able to preview and control my P100 over wifi. Haven’t used it on a production yet but so far it’s working as advertised.

Yeah well…

So I finally got my iPad to talk to birddog and even stored the lens functions of point, tilt and zoom.
But any of the camera control functions?
No cigar.

If you think this thing works as easily and simply as they say, think again.

If you care about matching cameras or accessing the color matrix or other grading functions for multi camera usage (frustratingly greyed put in the app) you’ll need to contact your IT guy.

Apparently I need to turn the auto off, but that button doesn’t exist in the app.

IT, yeah… let’s make this as difficult as possible.
