- Open a web browser and enter 192.168.5.100.
Network Configuration
By default, DHCP is disabled. After initial login, you can enable DHCP in the Options page >Network Port to allow the device to obtain an IP address automatically from your router.

NDI Encoding and Decoding
The device supports NDI encoding (USB camera to NDI) and NDI decoding (NDI to HDMI). Note: NDI encoding and decoding cannot be performed simultaneously.

NDI Encoding
- Connect the USB camera and ensure the computer and TAO 1tiny are on the same LAN.
- Configure NDI resolution, format, compression, and bitrate in the NDI settings, then click Save.
NDI Decoding
- Connect the device to the network.
- On the NDI Encode/Decode page, click Search for NDI Source.
