Side note, but because I know you want to ask, yes, there are cases where you can use NDI over a WiFi network, provided the router is capable and at least one of the computers is on an ethernet cable. NDI is a bi directional protocol, meaning that data can not only be sent from one machine to another like rtmp or rtsp, it can be sent back again allowing control of PTZ cameras and tally lights
Monitor multiple computers on a single PC Install it on your mobile phone and use them as extra cameras
Use software like OBS and receive video and audio from other computers to record or stream NDI allows broadcast quality video and audio delivery over a network. There’s a ton of additional technical information that video geeks love, but I’ll leave that up to you with links in the description below if that’s what you want. NDI stands for Network Device Interface, and it’s the protocol developed by NewTek for broadcasting high quality video and audio over an internal gigabit network. NDI and NewTek are back in my life once again. In looking for ways to capture screens from other computers and smartphones into my OBS output, I noticed a plugin for OBS called obs-ndi.
I’m doing mostly post production here at Pixel Valley Studio, but I still tinker around with things like OBS for my side game streaming hobby. This was my first exposure to their amazing NDI technology, and it wouldn’t be the last.īack to recent times. This was HUGE, since we didn’t have to run long HDMI cables or install crazy capture cards. It was the Tricaster that allowed us to capture our laptop computer displays and show them directly over our local ethernet network.
I also lead a sort of news/interview program on YouTube that was a four camera shoot, with live guests and Skype interview sessions. I was heading up a team that did live streams for dance events and we used a Tricaster at every show. This was an evolution of their Video Toaster system and they’ve produced a ton of them. The name is based on its functionality allowing it to broadcast, record and internet stream all at the same time. Although the popularity of the Amiga died down, NewTek continued with their line of broadcast switchers.
