We are preparing for a live production that involves two vMix calls and some complex audio routing. Hence we will do some of the production on a second PC over NDI. But we ran into a couple of issues.

It turns out that Call Inputs (acting as Host) are not visible on the NDI network until a call is actually made from a guest. Unless there is a technical limitation, it would be really nice to see the NDI source on the second PC as soon as the Call Input is added on the host PC.

Furthermore, the name of the NDI source becomes "Call Xxxxx", where Xxxxx is the name of the first caller that connected to the Call. So, if during the setup we call in with the name "Test", the NDI Input Name on the second PC becomes "NDI pcnamame-PC (Call Test)". Which is kind of confusing if the live action caller's name is "Bob". Yes, we can manually change the name of the Input on the second PC. But that has to be done again if another caller is next (eg "Sue").

Is it possible to dynamically have the name of the NDI source to mirror the name displayed in the Call Input (on the first/host PC)? Or if not, use the Key instead of the caller's Name.
