Nick, have you tried turning off the firewall on the Macbook? http://www.wikihow.com/Turn-off-Mac-Firewall

These symptoms are usually firewall or CPU version related. From the specs of you machine I suspect the former.

Thanks to all those that have submitted reports so far.
Below you will find version 17.0.0.64 of the vMix Desktop Capture for Windows NDI app with the following bug fixes:

* Was not detecting windows on Windows 7 machines with DWM (Aero) disabled
* Fixed errors on multi monitor machines where the layout of the displays is not sequential. (2 before 1 for example)

Thanks for the update Martin!
Wish it had arrived 24 hours earlier, I was struggling yesterday on a laptop that had it's external display (2) positioned above the built in display (1).

In any case, it works perfect now.

Short term solution for Saturday. Bring the Laptop in as a camera input via HDMI. Next, I assume that there is a NDI Scan Convertor and NDI Monitor for Mac. Kane from Newtek (send hin a PM if he doesn't respond to this post) may be able to help with where to find them (I was not able to see a link on the Newtek site). Load them and confirm that you are getting visible NDI source on that machine.

Meantime, Martin may have some other ideas.

I don't have access to the Mac development machine at the moment to test this, but here is the vMix Desktop Capture for Mac
with the latest NDI library:

Hopefully it solves the problem.

Sienna makes a free and paid (+ feature rich) NDI Scan Converter for Macintosh. You can find them both in the OSX App Store. There currently isn't a NDI Monitor for OSX at this point.

NewTek Connect Pro does include a web server that allows a web browser to see multiple NDI sources, might be a solution for the time being.

Have you tried another network cable? Someone I know had a substandard CAT5 cable and was getting results similar to what you have. It would see the 'connections' but only be black in the video windows. The network cable he was using was corrupting so many packets that no video could get through.

Good point Kane. Nick, try connecting the two computers directly with a crossover cable rather than using a router/switch. You will need to assign IP addresses, mask and gateway. That will ensure the router/switch is not degrading the signal on the way through.

You don't need crossover cable in most new Network cards
As per my post last week. Using your second NIC for NDI with crossover or standard network cable to a laptop
because of Auto_MDI-X

Understand that James. A crossover cable is a safe option though if you don't know if the NICs are auto-sensing.

I have Desktop Capture working on the Mac Book. I hate to admit my ignorance but it was simply a wrong ip Address set on the Mac Book, an updated iP address and it worked!

Please forgive me for my ignorance. I've never been the best at setting up networks but I'm learning fast.
