2nd computer / conference monitor.. on the network via ndi.. will there be a delay. And then u talk about alpha channel .. that background images coming in also.. so would it not have massive delay/latencies
Hello! When using multiple cameras as NDI inputs in EasyWorship, especially if you are incorporating a second computer or conference monitor on the network, there are a few important factors to consider regarding latency and the use of alpha channels: Latency in NDI Streams: NDI (Network Device Interface) is designed to deliver high-quality video over a standard Ethernet network with minimal latency. However, the actual latency can be influenced by several factors: Network Bandwidth and Quality: A high-speed and stable network is crucial. Gigabit Ethernet is recommended. If the network is congested or not sufficiently fast, latency can increase. Computer Performance: The processing power of the computers receiving and sending NDI streams affects latency. High-performance computers can handle NDI streams more efficiently. Number of NDI Sources: More sources can mean more data on the network, which might increase latency if the network or the computers can't handle the load efficiently. Using a Second Computer / Conference Monitor: If you are extending the output to a conference monitor using NDI, the same considerations for network quality and computer performance apply. Ensure that the secondary computer or monitor setup can handle NDI streams effectively. Alpha Channel and Background Images: NDI supports alpha channels, allowing for transparency in graphics and overlays. This is particularly useful for overlaying graphics or text on live video. The use of alpha channels and background images shouldn’t significantly increase latency if your setup (both hardware and network) is properly configured. However, it does require additional processing power and bandwidth, so make sure your system can handle these demands. It’s important to optimize your graphics (resolution, file size) for live streaming to ensure they are processed efficiently. Minimizing Latency: Use wired connections instead of Wi-Fi for stability and speed. Optimize your network infrastructure to handle the data load. Use high-performance computers that can process NDI streams efficiently. Keep your NDI software and EasyWorship updated to the latest versions, as updates often include performance improvements. Testing and Calibration: It’s essential to test your setup before a live event. Check for sync issues between video and audio, and between the main feed and the conference monitor. If you notice significant latency, you may need to adjust your setup or network configuration. In summary, while NDI is a powerful tool for managing multiple video sources over a network, it requires careful consideration of network infrastructure, computer performance, and overall system optimization to minimize latency. The inclusion of alpha channels and background images is typically manageable without causing massive delays, provided the system is well-configured and capable.
