NDI - Invite an NDI Source

[thebluescarecrow]

First I would like to thank the OBS programmers for including NDI. Great move! That being said, I would like to create a "Scene" to point to an NDI Source say from Japan. This would create a single shot of the person. In another "Scene" I'd like to create two "Sources" one local and one distant for a side by side. Seems to me this would eliminate the complicated setup between OBS, Zoom and Skype; and keep everything in OBS.

Thanks!

NDI is not designed for long-distance usage, and is not viable from a technical standpoint. It is extremely bandwidth-heavy, and is primarily for use on the same LAN; a single 1080p60 NDI source will fully saturate a 100mbit network with ease.

For remote sourcing, using something like OBS.Ninja (not affiliated with OBS) can make things easier, as can using Skype For Creators, which provides local NDI feeds for each participant in a (non-NDI) call.

What about NDI Bridge and NDI Remote?

Yep, the NDI Bridge & Remote both work. You need to upgrade to NDI 5.0.10.0 or 5.0.10.1.
