NDI EXPLAINED! Add network inputs to ATEM MINI & OBS with BirdDog

NDI allows you to send broadcast audio & video over a standard network. Today, I show you how to use BirdDogs NDI encoders and decoders to send your video feeds into broadcast tools like Blackmagic's ATEM Mini Pro & OBS.

I'm back and have a bunch of new videos lined up, starting off with this! NDI is a technology that is changing the game when it comes to broadcasting... so If you've never heard of it before, I hope this video has been useful for you!

Is there a company out there paying people to dislike videos? That would be the only explanation for the 9 dislikes on this video. Great video. I've been doing NDI research today for about 6 hours. I think all my previous 6 hours were wasted. Great video! No misleading title! I've learned more than those clickbaiting videos out there. I know have an idea of what I need for my 4 cams setup project.

Great video! I've been all over YouTube looking at various IP/NDI /ATEM videos, this is by far the best. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Great into to NDI - Have been wrestling with a NDI set up trying to get cameras connected to an ATEM and this really helped. I now get it. Great work.

The master is back ... we've been using this NDI systems with OBS since the early pandemic days it's been amazing for our streams. This BirdDogs system looks amazing.

[erik.landen]

Thanks for a great walk-through, now I will skip HDMI over IP and go NDI for our stream setup! Keep it up!

[GuiSchwertner]

You're absolutely calm for a guy with so many redbulls around.

Thanks for the overview. I wonder if the ATEM will get a software update to have NDI built-in. It would be nice to be able to select NDI sources and/or send ATEM output encoded to NDI. Less cabling would be nice! Of course, that may entail a new model with some extra hardware to support it.

[Superb_Mario]

Thank you for all the extremely helpful content! I am setting up a multicamera livestream with the ATEM Mini Pro at the core of the operations and your videos have been invaluable.

For everyone here, I spent the $ for an hour with this cat and it was brilliant.

In the future, remember, bullet points and graphics.

Your content is excessive with talking. Your voice and speed of speech is excellent.

Keep up the good work.

I appreciate the utility of the individual NDI adapters for remote single camera/output situations, but, when you need *multiple*, such as: at the video switch end, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to use an older PC with multi-port IO card and perhaps multiple network connections as the bridge between the video switch (assuming not NDI capable, of course) and NDI sources? That way, your NDI-bridging computer can also switch between multiple network sources, to make the most out of the physical connections to the video switch that you have available.

That was a phenomenal video, and encouraged me to purchase my first BirdDog product, the 4k Flex encoder. Will feed my Canon Xf405 in glorious 4k 60 through it, capturing across my home MicroTik 10GbE network, on to my vMIX Pro beast machine. For $399 USD, I will get much of what a good Epiphan or Magewell capture card provides, but thanks to the magic of multi-mode fiber, I get it anywhere in my home I need it! Love it, danke!

Happy Birthday Alex! Wishing you the best! 🎂❤🙏

[danaforeman]

Another great video Alex. Keep it rolling.

[GabrielTobing]

Ty so much for this

This is gonna be so awesome to use in a dual PC streaming setup because VRChat causes crashes that can freeze the entire computer, so this is super useful! <3

[skakbornholm]

wonderful you are back, I have almost gone and been worried about you

[GillmanAudio]

Superb video juts got my Atem MINI Pro ISO, thanks for the efforts and info I have learnt a lot. from you .

[WorldMusicCompetition]

We also use these excellent Birddog products. We hope to see this technology integrated in BMD.

Hi Alex, I'm probably late for the party. Regarding your question about the differences in color between the two devices.
This is caused by one device been by the default set to Video Range and the second one to Full Range.
To solve this discrepancy one of the devices can be changed from one video range into another to match each other. This is true if they have support to change between video range levels setting in the hardware or through software. 
Most video consumer monitors, TVs and other video devices expect Video Range, while professional devices and software, like DaVinci Resolve supports both.
