Trouble With Ndi Scan Converter For Mac

Posted on

NDI ScanConverter broadcasts your Mac's desktop or application windows over IP Video using the NDI protocol. You can select to either show the entire screen, or just a single window of any application, which is alpha keyed to easily composite on your NDI equipped vision mixer, for example NewTek TriCaster with NDI support. The NDI stream is very high quality, Selectable as 1280x720, 1920x1080 full HD or scaled to the window size, and runs at full frame rate for smooth display.

You can also select a cropped Region of Interest portion of the screen to send over NDI. Audio is also supported, including the option to loop your selected source to an output on the Mac. Visit the support site at for instructions on setting up your system sound to allow broadcasting of your computer's sound output (rather than a sound input device). Note: Turn on the 'Auto Refresh' checkbox to track window changes live - for example when taking an app fullscreen or starting a powerpoint presentation. Also Supports Retina Display Macs. Scottvvv App is great, and Sienna/Mark Gilbert very helpful I am using two NewTek Tricastersa 460 and a Mini HD 4SDI, and otherwise work exclusively with MacBooks, so need an NDI method of making my laptop screen images available as NDI sources in the Tricasters.

This app is recommended by NewTek. When I first encountered a problem with sizing of my macbook screen images in the Tricasters, I contacted Mark Gilbert for support, and he was extremely helpful and patient. Problem is solved and macbook screen images working well in my Tricasters— thanks very much Mark and Sienna for your help and a great product.

Ok I just want to see how/if this could be possible. Basically i only started streaming a month ago using NDI and all is fine with my steam. I have my Gaming PC sending the Audio and Video via NDI to the streaming PC. However, I have 2 gaming PC's and a streaming PC. And my friend who uses the other gaming pc, she wants to get involved with my stream.

So i installed OBS and the NDI plugin and the streaming PC is now receiving Video and Audio from both PCs. But it is now receiving the gaming Audio from both PC's:( I wanted to set it up with 2 scenes, one where mine is the full screen and hers is small (in the corner) and vice versa. Whoever has the full screen the audio from that game will play on the stream. But the mics from both PCS need to reamin on no matter which scene is selected. Can anyone help with any suggestions. The only way i can think of it working is when we swap scenes on the streaming pc.

We would both have to tab out of game and Mute/Unmute the Desktop audio in OBS (on the gaming machines) which would be a pain. Thanks for any advice. Hey all, I just wanted to get some clarification on a couple things about the NDI plugin for OBS.

I hope someone can help!;) 1. This is the main thing: Do the settings anywhere in OBS actually affect the 'output' quality of NDI? In other words, what is my streaming rig actually seeing? The preview window of my canvas on the gaming pc? If so, wouldn't the only setting that matters be the 'base canvas resolution' under video? Does fps actually matter in this instance? I mean, my gaming rig doesn't seem to be encoding anything.so why would output settings make any difference?

The above leads into my second question.or.my second question might be why i have the first question in the first place. What exactly is NDI doing? To me, it seems like it's not actually 'outputting' anything. It seems like it just makes my preview window in OBS available on the network as a source for my streaming pc.

For example, over a windows network, I can share a folder on my gaming pc so that everyone on the network can see it. The gaming pc is literally doing nothing other than allowing access to said folder. Then, on my streaming pc, i can navigate through the network, find the shared folder, and use it's contents. Most the work in this instance is being done by the streaming pc. The only thing the gaming pc is doing, is allowing access (and maybe spooling up a hard drive.if I still had hdds). I mean, whenever I use NDI, it seems to use almost no processing power.

With OBS running, my cpu usage is 2.1 percent. If i turn NDI output on, it might go up to 3 percent.

Doesn't seem to matter what settings I use in obs. The quality viewed in the preview window on the streaming rig is the same. So, all that being said, are there any settings in OBS that affects the streaming quality? Or, what settings will give me the BEST QUALITY. I have the processing power on all (5) rigs.

I want the streaming rig to receive the highest quality possible to encode and stream. I hope I didn't lose you, and thanks!
