    You mean a wireless access point and a network switch. A router routes between your internal network and the internet. Some of them include Wifi and a 4 or 5 port switch.

    Being pedantic - a router is used to transfer data between networks (such as your lan and the internet). You keep saying you need a good router, but i think you mean you need a good network ‘switch’ which transfers data between nodes on the same LAN. Many home ‘routers’ include a few lan switch ports, but it’s worth differentiating that it’s fast lan switching that’s required for good performance

      One that can sustain a good bandwidth. For example, A single 1920×1080@30 fps NDI stream needs approximately 100 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth. The bandwidth required will change, however, depending on the resolution, framerate, and how much motion is being captured by the camera. Then add more camera to the mix and you will need more bandwidth.

    MY QUESTION:
    I am learning about OBS and NDI... and I am wondering whether the NDI HX Capture HX app on iPad will allow me to operate, say, an app on iPad and stream the app to my students (for example, I could stream a quiz in an app to the students..... or an entry in a foreign-language dictionary, etc).

      It’s best to be plugged in to your router on the comouter - wifi just wont cut it.

Honestly, I don’t even know if 4k is feasible... especially since i’m trying to run it via the NDI HX Camera app... i don’t even know if it is capturing running 4k or 1080 on the mobile app. But even if it’s just 1080, i’m trying to see if i need to buy the new MBP with the 5600m and 64gb RAM to run a 6 or 7 cam setup with OBS (plus some graphics and other things, lol... i can get a but overkill at times 😅) or if i can get away with a $3000 MBP.

Another random question... what do you think the max amount of NDI channels you can get on without to much latency, on something like an Asus ax11000 (and yeah, i was planning on hardwiring the laptop, but running the video from the phones/ipads via NDI HX... also, found out, the app does 4k, if the phone supports it👏🏽👏🏽😅😅👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽)

    • @JohnPaulMusicUK

Would be a really interesting thing to document. Maybe reach out to NDI and see what support they have for you. Keep me posted 👍🏻

    Hey JohnPaul - great videos and just what I need right now. I too need some help on how to install NDI properly on my Win 10 desktop. In addition, I'm not clear on its use in my situation. Could you explain if I have a laptop on my first floor and desktop on the second floor where my router is, and I want to send the signal for streaming my band from the first floor to the second floor, do I need to have NDI on both machines and OBS on both?

    • @JohnPaulMusicUK
      @JohnPaulMusicUK  4 года назад +1

      Hey peter 👋
      So it’s a bit of a different situation for you. This video was to showcase the NDI apps that are on the iOS App Store - I’m not sponsored by NewTek or NDI - I just think it’s a good solution for using you r ipad or iPhone as a camera and sending that video feed to your computer. So using that scenario - you would have an iPhone or iPad on the first floor with the NDI HX Camera app, pointing at the band - and making sure. That device is on the same WiFi as the computer on the 2nd floor.
      Then you would be running OBS on the 2nd computer - with the NDI plugin already installed so you can pull the camera (iPhone) information/feed into the computer.
      Does that make sense?
      You only need OBS running on the second floor computer to stream out to the world.
      Take a look at this article - the guy is a gamer but the concept of having two computers and OBS is the same.
      Hope it helps - www.obs.live/articles/2019/5/1/how-to-stream-with-two-pcs-using-obs-studio-and-the-ndi-plugin
