The obs-ndi plugin brings the NDI Technology into OBS.

NDI is a Network Audio/Video Protocol allowing high quality, low latency and multi track audio local streaming.

Main Features

  • NDI Source : receive NDI video and audio in OBS
  • NDI Output : transmit OBS video and audio to NDI
  • NDI Filter (a.k.a NDI Dedicated Output) : transmit a single OBS source or scene audio to NDI

Thank you to all the contributors of this project for their support big or small along the years.

  • YUV Range
    Set this if you know the color range for the YUV to be Limited (SDR) or Full (HDR). Choosing the wrong one will make the image look washed out.
