If I connect to one source (one IP address) things are buttery smooth. I connected to two using multiple NIC cards (a total of three Ethernet ports, each directly plugged to the wall and the campus network)and had good results... for about a half hour. Then all the streams except the last added became very staccato with skipped frames. In my case, I used a TriCaster at the other end of campus to send four streams and then added two NDI feeds from a graphics machine (one After Effects and one Premiere from the same machine). The cameras became obviously impaired but the graphics stayed smooth.

Our last game, the four cameras on the TriCaster stayed smooth but the graphics overlays (After Effects and Premiere) were impaired - exactly the opposite of yesterday's test.

We have two NewTek Sparks and BirdDogs for testing - but if there is a major bug in the NDI so we can only have ONE IP address, how exactly can we do multi-camera production?

I found this article on the vMix forums: https://forums.vmix.com/default.aspx?g=search#0|5


Has any one had any luck with multiple NDI devices connecting and working well?

Hi

first I'm going to say that if you don't use vMix in your production, maybe you should better go to the Newtek forums as Tricaster and NDI are Newtek solutions.

second as I think I already replied to you about this "issue" you're facing, I'm going to repeat what I already said.

Using NDI requires a good knowledge in IP networks and a good IT infrastructure for production.
What you describe here shows that you don't understand what you're trying to do, how it works.

My advice is try to find somebody who can help to create your IT infrastructure for production or start learning how to create a solid LAN network. If you don't want to, just stick to traditional video workflows with SDI or HDMI cables.

NDI stands for Network Device Interface. If you don't have a network, you're not in the game...
