Starting the application

• Configure your application in the config.py module

  • Configure the COM Port for serial connection to the NDI Aurora system. In Windows you’ll find that info under control panel > device manager > COM devices.

  • Optionally configure the paths and video input of your system. But normally the defaults should suffice. If you have a webcam you might need to change the video input to 1.

• Start the main.py
