THANK Alpha Key was the solution I’ve been searching the globe for!

[marrienecantos]

Thank you very much! I really enjoyed your instructions :)

[CrossroadsWebster]

Hey man, super helpful! I need some help on what equipment to buy to run NDI from computer to my other computer that runs obs.

[bethelsheldon]

Hey Justin! Thanks for sharing this video. I was exactly what I was looking for. I missed the Alpha Channel check box. :( How do you handle the CCLI licensing data in your lower thirds? I'm having problems fitting it in. I was hoping that there was an option to 'squish' everything in to the text box I have defined. No Joy! Any hints gladly accepted. - D

I am glad you put out these videos, l would like to know if it would be a problem for our propresnter 7 is on a Mac and our streaming computer is windows?

[PastorJMills]

Hey Justin! Great video. My church is soon to be upgrading our Mac and upgrading to Pro 7. We have a separate PC for the live stream so being able to show lower-thirds from Pro 7 is epic. I'm not up-to-date on what NDI is but my question is, does my Mac need to be hardwired to the PC (via a cable or something) for my PC and OBS to see the created NDI? Or how does the PC see the NDI signal/setting from the Mac/Pro 7?

[danieleg.]

what about the cable and device that need to be possessed to make this function? is thera any video about? Where do I get NDI output and cable?

I'm having problems with getting ddi into ops I downloaded everything but for some reason it is not working.

[jmsteuhl]

You ever have a problem with latency in your setup?I have a pretty similar setup with MacBook Pro M1 for streaming gwith OBS and Mac mini M1 with PP7 having a NDI Screen. I sometimes get like a 1 second + delay and sometimes it's barely noticeable.

[nikitosikkkk]

Hi. I have a propresenter on a Macbook that doesn't have an ethernet port. and I have obs on pc that has an ethernet port. how do I connect them together? maybe there is another way to connect both PCs for ndi to work?

[jeffreybrinston]

I'm going to try this on Tuesday. We use BlackMagic so does a chroma key need to be setup in it?

[bobturla]

I've followed your instructions but still not getting the transparency in OBS. I've got OBS v30.1.2 and Pro7 v7.16.2 with an NDI audience screen, alpha key set to 'Straight'. Where do you think should I look into where there's something wrong?

[dannyhackworth]

Any ideas on why on OBS I'm not getting the overlay but it shows a QR Code?
