As a corollary to those questions, when using vMix on this dual network setup, vMix appears to be looking on Net2 for content of the Web Browser Input, hence no content. Only way to get content would be to use Net1. But don't want Net1 to be used for NDI.

Ideas on what to do?

Clear as mud, I'm sure.

Yes, dual NIC's. PC1 - one on the MB and one on a PCIe card. PC2 - one on the MB and one via USB3.0 NIC adapter.

Funnel? Gotta remember, I'm an idiot! My PC did not come with a funnel.

Tom,

Why do You need to use two networks?

Connect PC1 & PC2 and internet connection to a gigabit switch and that is it.

Gigabit switch carries NDI traffic + uses only maximum of 100 mb traffic to carry the internet.

And what is your real internet traffic? 10 mbps? 20? Even if it is almost 100 mbps, You still have 900+ mbps for NDI.

P.S. I've had lots of issues when using multiple networks connected to one PC.

Get the 4G router, really :) I use a Huawei b593 with external 12v power bank and its great.

You can also get a simple wireless router, and connect it to your LAN and then set it to a mode, that wirelessly gets your iPhones hotspot internet. It's a bridge mode, if I remember it right.

I have a similar scenario. One network which is my LAN and another specialty vlan for connecting some remote NDI gear on the same layer 2 subnet. I have also ran into the issue where vMix seems to pick one of the 2 subnets and only provide NDI access through it. I would add that my TriCaster can see the sources on both subnets. With such a new technology, and such rapid adoption, i'm shocked this stuff is as solid as it is. :) Ran a 5 camera production this past weekend using 2 SDI on a TriCaster and 3 SDI to vMix which sent it NDI to TriCaster. Completely flawless. :) Amazing product.

Thanks!

Here you go Tom in case you were still working on this

Looks like I'm going to have to do some homework! Thanks, mashynewie2!

Following up on that, use a full speed back plane Ethernet to connect all your NDI devices, then plug your internet router into that. Traffic between NDI sources will never hit the router, just between the clients on the switch, while internet traffic will be the only thing to hit the router.

I've not gotten one yet, but I'm looking at one of these Ethernet switches for my setup. 16 ports with 32GB of bandwidth, you can also get a managed version for just a little bit more.

I have a definite need for using two NIC cards- and I don't think that Kane's recommended router is the answer-- but please let me know if I don't understand. Does it have a DHCP server? https://www.amazon.com/T...gigabit+switch&psc=1

Here is the setup-- We use wireless cisco radios to connect from the pressbox to the servers located in the main building. This past Friday when using NDI, the bandwidth to the internet got choked off. This is because we were streaming to Youtube, But had an NDI device connected -- this device was traveling through the radio to the main building and then back across the radio to the vmix machine. So both the send and receive NDI traffic was using the radios, despite being right beside each other. This in addition to a 1080 stream, and well it bogged down fairly quickly. I really need to keep the NDI device (graphics) off the radio, while allowing vMix to use the second network to connect to the internet.

Tom, you seemed to have it figured out... Can you share? Kane any thoughts? I don't think that router will work because the DHCP server is located on the other end of the radio so all traffic will still go into the main building and return.

I am guessing I need a managed solution like ClearOS, but I would really like a simple hardware solution.

Your radios need to be Gigabit Wi-Fi, simular to the

Cisco WAP571E Wireless-AC N Premium Dual Radio Outdoor Access Point...

to have proper bandwidth for NDI source if I am not mistaken....
