I love the new NDI features... Being a public school system, we have massive filtering done at every imaginable level, even internally. In many cases, by default I cant connect to port 80 on a machine on the same LAN without having an exception made to the firewall (done by a company that admins the network 150 miles away... we have 5000 devices on our LAN).

NDI works great at home, but once inside the school's network it usually fails.

I have poured over the docs from Newtek but cant find the answer.

How does NDI transport data? Specifically what protocol and port is used to packetize and move the data? Ill need to know this to unblock.

mDNS is used for discovery. If your network has mutlicast blocked, that will be a problem as mDNS requires it. mDNS runs on port 5353/UDP.

Data is transferred using the IANA ephemeral port range.
