And a camera that outputs it too... But wait and see when this device is released

Kane/Newtek people? - can we get confirmation that this will allow for eg: an external mic to 'inject' audio into the video stream. EG: using a dslr / gopro to capture 4K video, then running a shotgun mic through external power and pre-amp into the audio stream.

This product is a few months away from shipping. Kane Peterson NewTek

You could connect four HD sources to a blackmagic multiview 4 or a Lynx PVM1841 to create a quad and then convert it to NDI with the Spark You end up with an UHD NDI feed that you need to crop/zoom into 4 virtual inputs in vMix. I would be interrested to compare the cpu/gpu usage of having one UHD NDI input then split it in 4 virtual VS 4 HD one. This gives you 4 ultra low latency / hardware encoded inputs for 995(spark)+495 USD(multiview).

It's an interesting workflow for NDI over the Internet in order to feed a remote location with perfectly synced sources. Guillaume

If you feed 4 x discreet HD sources from the same device via Sienna Cloud for NDI, they will be frame accurately resynchronised on delivery. No need to do any funky quad stuff just to keep Multicam sync.

I wouldn't do it personnally. However such a workflow was proposed by another user a few month ago for use with another streaming protocol like RTSP or TS where it could be a solution to solve the sync issue that occurs frequently in this case. Thanks for the precision though, never had a chance to experiment such a thing so far. Guillaume
