I would LOVE to have an NDI sender for Android. Ideally it would send the device screen or the devices camera.

While beyond the scope of this forum, it would be fantastic if it could also be set to encode into H264, essentially mimicking an ONVIF stream.

That way I could received it with vMix as NDI, where bandwidth permits, or like a security camera where bandwidth constrained. I could even opt to catch it with an NVR for some applications.

Worth paying for since single port HDMI ONVIF encoders are pricey.

That app will send the camera from your Android device, but not the screen.

Phone/tablet devices have OS restrictions from allowing this kind of operation. Security restrictions prevent applications from seeing the screen of the device outside the application. This means you have to use the build in OS support (if available) on the device to share the screen.

For iOS devices that would be AirPlay Mirroring, which NewTek Connect Pro supports as does another tool called AirServer.

For Android devices that would mean using protocols like Miracast or ChromeCast to get an image off the device. If you have a device that supports one of these protocols, you can possibly use an application like AirServer to recieve the device screen, then using NDI Scan Converter or the vMix Desktop NDI tool you can send it into your NDI supported switcher.

Hello everybody.
I recently discovered that android supports native MIRACAST protocol.
Also windows 10 supports miracast directly by OS.
If NDI server in the vmix application would add the miracast protocol nativly, we could bypass the pc in the middle where to run the vmix screen capture (that crash a lot).

I highly doubt that Miracast will be built into the NDI protocol. Your best option is going to use a software 'bridge' to make this happen, like the AirServer application. Perhaps vMix will add support outside of NDI, but I'm not aware of any plans to make NDI do this on it's own.
