Good job! But dohhh from 2yrs ago- are you still in biz and have you made an update of this, with newest OBS Studio freeware software? You never zoom in when doing Source >> Add a new NDI Source. Came here to find out how to either search whole intranet for an "IP Camera" or how to add a custom rtsp long URL e.g. for the Lorex camera system. Thanks. PS. What make and model wireless mic does the host fellow have on his ear??
I'm streaming car races with OBS. I want to add some staic ndi cams around the track. I would also like for the scoring tower to be able to receive these signals on another computer with obs installed in order to get instant replays. Would I just run a network cable from my switch to the control room computer?

OBS is amazing! I've been using it for live streaming training programs with my Canon camcorder with great effect. I would love to try one of these PTZ cameras though - it would be nice to be located away from the camera and control it from somewhere else.
newtek ndi tools require a cpu with ssse3 instruction - this is the error i am getting when i try to install the ndi tools 3.6. i guess i wont be able to install ndi on my streaming pc. if there is any way around it please let me know.
I've been having this problem for a long time my streaming pc won't pick up my ndi obs display feed I've tried everything including but not limiting to ip configuration hard wiring the oc installing Windows 10 and reinstalling windows 10 and going to a repair shop I've lost a 1000 USD on this help please

It should be mentioned at this point (2021), that if you buy a PTZ camera from any manufacturer. You will have to pay an extra license to Newtek of 300€ or dollars to be able to include that device into the NDI. If you have 10 cameras your licensing will skyrocket into the thousands of dollars. Who knows what Newtek will pull out their sleves next. A yearly license? or pay per Mbits? RTSP on the other hand.... Free
Hello! Your concerns about NDI licensing costs for PTZ cameras, including those from PTZOptics, are valid. As of April 2023, here's the situation: NDI Licensing Fees: When you purchase a PTZ camera that supports NDI, it's true that there may be additional licensing fees required to enable NDI functionality. This fee is paid to NewTek, the developers of the NDI technology. The cost you mentioned, around €300 or $300 per camera, is in line with previous information, but these fees can vary and might have changed after my last update. Cost for Multiple Cameras: Indeed, if you have multiple cameras, these licensing fees can add up significantly. For a setup with 10 cameras, as you mentioned, the total cost for enabling NDI on all cameras would be a substantial investment. Potential Future Changes: Your concern about future changes to the licensing model, such as annual fees or charges based on usage (like bandwidth), is speculative, but it's wise to consider long-term costs when investing in technology. RTSP as an Alternative: RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) is indeed a free alternative for streaming video from cameras. However, it's important to note that RTSP typically has higher latency compared to NDI and may not offer the same video quality and ease of use. RTSP can be a viable option, especially if budget constraints are a significant factor. Evaluating Your Needs: When deciding between NDI and RTSP, consider your specific requirements, such as video quality, latency, ease of use, and network infrastructure. If the benefits of NDI (like low latency, high video quality, and ease of network management) are critical for your production, the investment in NDI licensing might be justified. Otherwise, RTSP or other protocols like HDMI/SDI (with appropriate converters) could be more cost-effective. Remember, technology and licensing terms can change, so it's always a good idea to check the latest information from the manufacturers or vendors before making a final decision. If you have more specific questions about PTZOptics cameras or need advice tailored to your situation, feel free to ask.
I like how very detailed you guys are with explaining the software and encouraging the use of free software.
This is perfectly what I'm studying to do for our roller derby games! You guys are awesome

SweetPete SweetPete - thanks. Yes. We actually started uploading all of our OBS content here @streamgeeks. Also, our microphones are DPA D:Fine
FYI Guys: At 30fps, 33ms is one frame. So 100ms would be three frames.
Interesting idea, would like to see a comparison between SDI, IP and NDI with some live action like sports.

Interesting, however, I'd rather pay for a program that works well and not deal with the 2 second audio lag.
