Hello,
The option to enable additional NDI output for camera sources is very helpful.
Is there any way to only apply this to selected camera sources? For example, if I have a quad input capture card with 2 of those inputs being cameras, and the other 2 being video playback sources, I do not need to have all 4 inputs with direct NDI outputs. I am trying to keep my network bandwidth being used to a minimum.

(I am running Vmix 4k but as my NDI output configuration is 1/main output 2/secondary output to allow split screens 3/ multiview and 4/ remote preview I don't have any outputs left to use here.

Many thanks
David

It may not be using network bandwidth when nothing is connected to it, but the encoding process is still running and using CPU resources.

Actually, vMix will only encode a source if it has an active connection to it.
This includes all the outputs and the ability to turn an input directly into an NDI source.

So there shouldn't be any extra CPU usage as long as nothing is connected to a source.
