Send NDI Video (vuo.ndi.send)

Broadcasts video, audio, and metadata to the local network.

• Send Image, Send Audio — Broadcasts an image or audio to the network.
• Send Metadata — Broadcasts structured text information. See the node set documentation for more information.
• Source Name — How this node identifies itself to other NDI devices on the network. If you don’t specify a name, the composition’s name is used.
• Source Groups — Categories of sources this node belongs to. For example, if you’re broadcasting from a camera in Studio 1, you could specify the groups Cameras and Studio 1.
  • If you don’t specify any groups, the Public group is automatically added, making this source visible to all NDI devices on the network.
  • Groups are not case-sensitive.
• Received Metadata — Fires an event when a receiver sends information back to the video source. Typically each receiver sends a metadata packet upon connecting, containing the product name and manufacturer.
• Tally Program/Preview Changed — Fires an event when a receiver (typically a video switcher system such as the NewTek TriCaster) selects or deselects this video source as the main program content or preview content.
• Connections Changed — Fires an event when the number of receivers changes. You could use this information, for example, to stop rendering when no receivers are connected, in order to reduce network bandwidth and power usage.

Example compositions:

• Send NDI Checkerboard: Outputs a scrolling checkerboard via NDI. Use the Display NDI Video composition, the NewTek NDI Video Monitor app, or another NDI receiver to view the output of this composition.
• Send NDI Checkerboard and Metadata: Outputs a scrolling checkerboard via NDI, only when a receiver is connected. Also sends metadata specifying a product name. Use the Display NDI Video composition, the NewTek NDI Video Monitor app, or another NDI receiver to view the output of this composition.
• Send Live Video with Newsfeed: Receives live video from the system's camera, renders a scrolling RSS newsfeed on top of it, and outputs it via NDI. Use the Display NDI Video composition, the NewTek NDI Video Monitor app, or another NDI receiver to view the output of this composition.

This is a pro node. If you share this composition with other Vuo users, they'll need to have access to pro nodes in order to run it.
