when i select a window it doesn't capture it.. for example when I tried discord it was a screen capture like scan converter but zoomed in cause i dont have disc in full screen. I don't know if you get what I mean.. :/ need your help

What NDI plugin do you use to get the NDI source into obs?

[twentyth]

i have a problem.. I make a ndi source and i put a specific window i want to capture but ndi source shows what i see in gaming pc... need help

having "GPU acceleration" made it feel like 60hz, turning it off fixed the issue. being able to send audio only is sick.

Great video, maybe you can help me, I want my gpu gaming PC mostly free, then what solution is the best, NDI scan converter or obs plugin, last year I was using NDI scan converter but I was losing around 8% performance then what is the point, I could do stream and gaming in the same PC with obs and newnvenc.
There is some way to send the video to the second PC only using the cpu? I have a ryzen 3800x. Thanks

1. (CON) I noticed a drop of about 20fps when using VMIX NDI instead of NDI OBS plugin.
2. (PRO) I noticed that by using VMIX NDI you don't need OBS in the gaming PC at all.
3. (CON) I also noticed VMIX NDI uses about 5-8% more CPU than NDI OBS Plugin (This only applied if i had OBS running but I obviously didn't need it...)
4. (CON) VMIX NDI didn't lock the recording to one window but to the whole screen. Although it mentions specific windows in my case it didn't only focus on that one. Anything above it would still show up on Streaming PC.
5. (PRO) I found VMIX NDI to be more responsive than the OBS NDI plugin.
These are my findings if anyone else wants to share their experience let me know. I think i will use VMIX for now. I think it deserves more testing.

Hello :) :) thanks for this awesome video and infos !! Everything works great btw. But we're having a problem with NDI Source. We have 2 pcs connected on the same network, the first one is game capturing overlay and works perfectly. we're using ndi source for the second one to send the game only like you did in this video for battlefield 5 but it captures the whole window like whenever alt+tab or open chrome it still displays it on stream any advise? thx in advance

Running a second instance of OBS on gaming PC is still better form me personally. VMiX ndi uses about 15% where OBS uses 7% CPU.
