obs-ndi - NewTek NDI™ integration into OBS Studio 4.13.0

It can't be more easy! I was trying like setting rmtp server for the same job. That's ugly, slow, sluggish, heavily delayed. This NDI plugin solves everything.

v4.11 crashing OBS 29 randomly 5 to 15 minutes whether streaming or not...

from what i can see this is only for outgoing. with vmix, for example, NDI resources can also be used as an input. or am i missing something?

This plugin has solved such a major headache for me and allowed me to get my Twitch.TV stream back up and running. With NewTek NDI, and this plugin, now I can output my 15Mbps stream to restream.io while simultaneously sending my output stream at full quality (~200Mbps) to my other broadcasting OBS machine as an NDI Input, from there I send to Twitch at 6Mbps. Before my stream was being blocked as the bitrate was too high and I didn't want to pay for Transcode time on Restream,IO anymore; this enables me to perform my own "transcoding" with NO extra cost. Setup is super simple and I was ready and streaming on both boxes within minutes. The CPU overhead is minimal on my main box, like 4% extra, so it doesn't effect my gameplay or other material really much at all (i7 960 @ 4.2Ghz). Even with the much extra IP traffic, there's no encoding to network lag on either OBS session on either machine, so no dropped frames due to render lag or network lag! Simply amazing! I do wish that there was finer controls for the encoding in terms of bitrate, but at this point... I'll take it! Great job!

This is a life-saver! My computer is running out of USB bandwidth with all my capture cards, and with this I can hook everything up and have it working until I get more USB-controllers. I am a hardware-kind of guy to the core, but this works flawlessly and I'm actually second guessing some stuff...
I suppose with a deticated, closed-off Network switch and some extra ethernet cards you could do some truely amazing things with this, plus save a good couple of bucks on capture cards for each of your other PC's.
This is nothing short of amazing, I'm even using the official 20$ NDI app from AppleStore to connect my Iphone to this and I only see possibilities with this technology. To the best of my knowledge the limitations will be within your home network.
Good work!

If you really know how to use this, it'll be a very useful.

Very functional and very easy to set up. The perfect way to send an OBS output or source between local network devices.

Worked Wonders for Me
Thanks for your Work.

Sometimes crashes for no known reason, but aside from that, a valuable tool for Dual-Output streaming.

I was able to use this plugin to send live video from a program directly to OBS. It was a lot easier than trying to capture another window.

This plug-in is super easy to setup and use and having NDI support in OBS to get around clunky capture card setups for two PC streaming is fantastic.

However, I've had major issues with being unable to hold consistent 60fps via NDI, even with machines well beyond what's required and a solid gigabit network. My main PC also has to be frequently restarted because after every stream, game audio goes out of sync when using the NDI plug-in. The only way to fix it is to restart.

While I do appreciate this is a free plug-in being made by a hobbyist, support for this is also virtually non-existent (though in keeping with the general OBS support experience.) The author only responds to a handful of support threads and if you have any problems with this at all, expect to be left to figure it out yourself.

I still use this plug-in (especially since the alternative is XSplit which just, no) but it still needs a lot of refinement.

This plugins works perfectly. Now I can use my iPhones as camera. Well done.

THX! good Work !

Absolutely awsome, easy and usefull !
Using it to livestream basketball meetings.

Indiscutivelmente incrível!

With every version update, this keeps getting better. 4.2.3 (current) is the most stable so far. This plugin expands the usability of OBS to a whole new level. We use this on a regular basis at the production company I work at. Thanks again, Palakis!

Really wish it would let me set the setting per profile. I have a streaming profile and a youtube profile. I need it off for youtube and on for streaming.

I was streaming with same settings for a year, then my 2nd PC broke and yesterday i fixed it, when i launch NDI scan converter ping increase to 300, when i turn it off it go back to normal, anyone have same problem? I was contacting my internet provider and thinking its beucase of them but today i figured out its caused by NDI, video proof down there..

Excellent changes!! thanks! I tested the PTZ control on our Neoid PTZ 4K camera and it didn't work, the image arrives great via NDI, but the plugin's PTZ controls don't work.

Absolutely brilliant. Between the windows 10 computers and up to date OBS studio versions. I ran the install (First time I look at this). Looked in tools to find the NDI settings.

Then went to my other computer and at this point only it started to dawn on me what this was for. Added a NDI video source and Boom! The NDI broadcast names were there and it all just works.

With this plugin the sky is the limit. Who needs a TV studio. We got OBS Studio. Can't believe this software is free.
