NDI in XSplit Broadcaster
In XSplit Broadcaster, Network Device Interface (NDI) functions as a powerful tool for both sending and receiving high-quality, low-latency video and audio streams over a local network. This technology allows you to seamlessly integrate a wide variety of sources into your broadcast without the need for direct physical connections like HDMI or SDI cables. For instance, you can use NDI to capture the screen and webcam from a separate gaming PC, incorporate video from a mobile device, or pull in video feeds from other NDI-compatible applications. Essentially, XSplit treats any NDI source on your network as if it were a locally connected camera or capture card, making it incredibly flexible for multi-camera productions and complex streaming setups. You can also output your main XSplit production as an NDI stream, allowing other NDI-compatible devices and software on your network to use your final broadcast mix as a source.
About NDI
NDI is in use on millions of systems and allows multiple video systems to identify and communicate with one another over IP, and to encode, transmit and received many streams of high quality, low latency, frame-accurate video and audio in real time. This benefits any network-connected video device, including video mixers, graphics systems, capture cards, and many other production devices. This makes it possible to exponentially increase the number of sources available for live production switching, without directly attaching to devices, changing locations, or investing in expensive, high-bandwidth networks that simply replace SDI-based workflows.
