NDI Camera stream uses 32mb/s , not announced 10, does it need to upgrade?
NDI Access manager doesn't open. I tried several times.

Hi Kane,

So to clarify is NDI Tools 3.0 the new (NDI-NX or just normal NDI?

As I understand it, it's not a case of "either/or" but "both". NDI v3.0 adds support for NDI-HX, but doesn't change how existing software works, so if an app sends video data via regular NDI compression then that's now it will continue to work. But now there's an opportunity for developers to support NDI-HX as well (if they choose to do so). And the NDI v3.0 Tools, like the Studio Monitor, will display low-bitrate NDI-HX encoded video as well as regular higher-bitrate NDI streams.

NDI 3.0 is a really exciting update - Multicast, new NDI Studio Monitor, easy device configuration and accurate timing across devices just to highlight a few really useful features!

BirdDog will fully support NDI 3.0 in terms of all the protocol features applicable to a camera mountable device. We won’t at this stage be supporting NDI HX, rather we produce higher-bitrate, lower compression, ultra low latency NDI. We will be rolling out the new NDI 3.0 features over our next few firmware updates during August and September.

NDI 3.0 adds a lot of capabilities that go way beyond what is currently being used in a production IP workflow and over the coming months there will be some really exciting new workflows become apparent.

No new Connect has been released yet, but I could expect when the next version is out you will have the NDI® 3 features like the ability to do multicast streams. However, to take advantage of multicast correctly you need a switch that supports IGMP snooping so that your entire network doesn't become flooded with traffic.

I tried 1080p/25 transfer from vMix to Studio Monitor on laptop, by 1Gb switch and it is about 20Mb/s . It's 5 times less then before, but still twice more than announced 10. Picture is awesome, delay unseen, audio is perfect.

Now, with vMix 20 it's better - video is 5-12 Mbs. Great !
