Seamless NDI Integration for OBS Studio
obs-ndi enhances the functionality of OBS Studio by allowing users to easily send and receive audio and video streams over a network using NDI technology, making streaming and broadcasting more efficient.
Obs-ndi is a plugin created by Stephane Lepin to add NewTek's NDI support to Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). NDI is a protocol for high-quality video over IP that allows users to receive and transmit multiple audio and video streams between different devices.
The obs-ndi plugin is available for free download and installation on various platforms. Once installed, it allows OBS to send and receive audio and video streams over the network using NDI. This means that OBS can receive audio and video streams from other NDI-enabled devices and send its own audio and video streams to other NDI-enabled devices, including other computers on the same network.
The obs-ndi plugin is particularly useful for creating professional-quality live video productions, such as live streaming of sporting events or musical performances. With NDI, users can easily integrate multiple cameras, microphone sources, and other video sources into their live stream, without the need for expensive hardware or complex configurations. And with the obs-ndi plugin, OBS becomes an even more powerful tool for creating high-quality live video productions.
