### Building Your Own mimoLive® NDI-In-A-Box

One of the most exciting aspects of the mimoLive® NDI-In-A-Box is that it’s built using off-the-shelf components. We’re currently designing the next iteration with a slightly different case and plan to offer an online workshop to help you build your own. Here’s a look at what you’ll need:

#### Key Components:

• **PoE Network Switch and Wireless Router:** A Netgear M4250 with 8 PoE Gigabit ports for handling NDI HX cameras, paired with a Slate AX mobile router for internet access and network services.

• **Thunderbolt Dock:** Provides a single-cable connection for Ethernet, HDMI display, audio monitoring, and power to your laptop.
