Reading data from NDI ready-to-use tools

[lydiazoghbi]

Hello! I'm using an Aurora system with a needle and circular reference tools (2 of them). I was trying to get the .rom files for them, but the Northern Digital support team said that they don't provide .rom files for their ready-to-use-tools (these are the tools I'm talking about). Any idea if your code can be interfaced with such tools?

Hello @lydiazoghbi

The NDI CAPI that is enclosed inside the ndi_hardware package is designed to interface both Aurora and Polaris devices, the principal should be the same in activating the broadcaster.

Rom files are specific to each tool type (in the Polaris case I mean, I think the same for the Aurora case), so they should have been provided somewhere with the device when purchased.

Maybe you can find them if you have the GUI interface with the Aurora device installed and they will be in some folder in the installation path. As far as this broadcaster is concerned, it should be the same.

Take a look at the polaris_description package and create a new package that is coherent with your setup.
