[v7 General Discussion] EasyWorship and NDI

Hi,



A couple of questions about NDI.



Firstly in terms of a Feed Input:
[list]
  • [*]Does EasyWorship work happily with both NDI and NDI HX?
  • [/list]

    Secondly in terms of an Output:
    [list]
  • [*]Can we choose whether EasyWorship sends full NDI or NDI HX?

  • [*]Can we the change name it will advertise itself to the network as?
  • [/list]

    And a wider EasyWorship Output question, but with a focus on NDI:
    [list]
  • [*]Can EasyWorship send the same output to multiple monitors? E.g. send Live output to HDMI1 plus NDI1, send Foldback output to HDMI2 plus NDI2. Etc. Or does outputting Live to NDI1 prevent you from also using a graphics card port?

  • [*]Assuming you can do the above, is a second/third etc Live or Foldback output a pure clone of the first or can it be configured to a different resolution?
  • [/list]

    Thanks.

    You can output to the screen/monitors from EW and output an NDI screen at the same time but as Roger says not via EW.

    First, you need to go to the VMix website and download the screen capture utility (free). You do not have to download VMix.

    You need to have all NDI enabled devices on the same network.

    Run that utility on your EW computer at the same time EW is running. We have it set so it starts automatically whenever the computer is started.

    You can then pick up an NDI feed of any of the three EW screens, for use in VMix or other NDI enabled software.

    I have been doing this for a long time - even before EW was itself NDI enabled.

    You can also use that same utility - for MAC or PC and run it on a visitors laptop which needs to be connected to the church network. You can then pick up the output screen from the visitor laptop and include that into EW as an NDI feed.



    I use this mostly for including the preachers PP into the video mix for livestreaming, while also putting the content on the main church screen via EW.
    EasyWorship does include support for NDI and 7.1.3 comes with HX support without having to install the NDI tools from newtek.

    EasyWorship doesn't allow you to output from EasyWorship using HX. It uses the uncompressed NDI stream.

    The name it advertises is the name of the computer. You would need to change the computer name in windows settings.

    At this time EasyWorship can either send out NDI or the video card, but not both.
