Directly Connect NDI Cameras To vMix Computers

For many production workflows, NDI is the main way for video sources to move between devices. While incredibly flexible, leveraging NDI reliably typically requires a technical understanding of the network it is running across. This is especially true when using Full-Bandwidth NDI - and even more so if 4K sources are involved.
On today’s show, we’ll look at a way to bypass some of this network complexity by directly connecting NDI sources to your main production computer. We’ll go over the steps needed to install and configure a 4 Port network card to support plugging cameras - or other NDI sources - directly into it without the need for an external switch.

Amazing concept John! I love 😅this and can't wait to implement this for clients. You are genius, one again!

A really interesting show thanks and one which makes me wish I knew more and felt more confident about networks and IP. Being a late comer to networking it feels a bit of a dark art. However you didn’t mention if it would be possible to have this board and a 4 hdmi/SDI video input board hosted in the same machine? At the moment I’m using hdmi/NDI HX converters to go via the switcher and a direct approach would be useful when working mobile. Is there a solution to use this board in association with a laptop and Vmix? Would it be less taxing on the GPU? Many thanks really useful hands on information.
