I've just downloaded v1.0.0.4 and tried to test it, but it's not picking up any of my NDI sources. Going back to v1.0.0.3 works fine, albeit with the restricted NDI audio levels that clip at the equivalent of +4dBu in the NDI domain.

(Also, in the previous post, the URL has accidentally got a '.' added on the end of it - at least it has at the time of posting this.)

I think I've discovered the problem. The Uninstall.exe doesn't work properly, and I thought I'd removed v1.0.0.3 before installing v1.0.0.4 but I hadn't. Once deleted manually and v1.0.0.4 installed cleanly, it picked up the NDI sources just fine. Still clips any incoming audio higher than 0dBVU (as measured in NewTek's Studio Monitor or my own NDI audio meters).

What I had tried doing was running the Uninstall.exe which shows up in the Start Menu (under the Medialooks folder) which is effectively the Uninstall.exe in the "NDI&SDI over Internet" folder in Program Files(x86)>Medialooks. I've just tried it again now - it looks like it's doing something but at the end of it both the program files and Start Menu entries are still there (and it can still be run).
My "manual deletion" was to delete everything in the "ProgramFiles(x86)>Medialooks>NDI&SDI over Internet" folder. That achieved the desired result in terms of allowing me to install a working copy of v1.0.0.4.

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

Please try the new version (released yesterday):

– Crashes should be fixed.
– Uninstaller was fixed.
– Proper selection of Blackmagic devices in Receiver app is now available.

@stardancer, some more interesting? feedback. I guess that these issues more geared for the kind of crazy cross productions we would like to do (more of). Meaning, we are using both the Receiver and the Publisher at the same PC.

Start Output for a Source in the Receiver, and it becomes listed in the Publisher as a Source. Stop the Output in the Receiver, and it is still listed in the Publisher. Bug?

It is difficult to identify the NDI sources in a cross production where vMix is used for one PC at each location. Consider the following, with PC "Event" used at a remote event, and "Studio" somewhere else for additional production (in our case to add sign interpretation).

At the Event vMix's External2 is used to output to NDI (to send the productions Output to the Studio)
Event Publisher lists it as Source "vMix - Output 2"

In the Studio vMix's External2 is used to output to NDI (to send the sign interpreter to the Event)
Studio Publisher lists it as Source "vMix - Output 2"

Studio Receiver lists Event's NDI as Source "vMix - Output 2"
Start Publish that Source to NDI, and it is identified in vMix as "vMix - Output 2 (2)"
Furthermore, it is listed as a Source in the Studio's Publisher as "vMix - Output 2 (2)"

Event Receiver lists Studio's NDI as Source "vMix - Output 2"
Start Publish that Source to NDI, and it is identified in vMix as "vMix - Output 2 (2)"
Furthermore, it is listed as a Source in the Event's Publisher as "vMix - Output 2 (2)"


Please consider adding a PC identifier that leads the source name. For example use the Publisher ID as the default name, with an option to change it to something operator defined. That is, instead of "vMix - Output 2" have "Event vMix - Output 2". Meanwhile, I have posted a Feature request in vMix's forum to have operator defined names for its NDI Outputs. For example, instead of "vMix - Output 2" have "Studio Sign Interpreter".

Awesome, I love software that is portable.

whith the option of location now its is possible uses in the same lan no ?

i have see that our system can´t handle CharacterWorks using 1080p50 ndi, Medialook enconding and receiver and vmix at the same time, i need to test the receiver in another computer, with vmix ndi output, medialook tx and rx , and again in vmix work fine, i supose that the alpha channel is the problem

Yep, that's the way to send video both ways.

While i had the initial 1.0.0.6 (beta) working the (latest ? 1.0.2.286) isn't.

get connected , black screen , audio ok
did check the ports

any ideas ? , might have some use for it

I tested the first release, and it worked, but now none works......just downloaded the latest version, and I am getting no response.....I can not add any source.....is there something I am missing here
