What Gigabit equipment would you recommend for NDI between two computers running VMix. I'm getting jitters and freeze frames when using NDI on 1080i between two Intel i7 6th gen machines. One of them is running on integrated graphics and the other has a GTX1050. Both machines have 8GB RAM.uc browser shareit appvn

You need a preconfigured network switch like Netgear M4300 that is capable of not slowing down NDI stream. If you plan on delivering power to your NDI cameras then consider getting Netgear M4300 with POE+

Why are you recommending a 10Gb switch? It's not like any NDI capable cameras are using 16k Jumbo Frames. In fact, there's not much "special" about NDI like Dante or similar timecode synced streams. Any quality 1G switch will do, such are the Netgear Smart Managed Pro series, Unifi, Unifi XG, etc. But even the dumbest of the dumb switches, assuming they're not packet colliders from the 90s, will pass 1080 NDI just fine.

Agreed. I've used cheapo unmanaged switches from Netgear, DLink and TPLink. Also managed switched from Ubiquiti. All work fine.

The important thing is knowing your bandwidth needs across each link. For example, it's certainly possible to oversubscribe a single link into your vMix host. You can use two links to the vMix host to support the traffic.
