NDI Discovery interfaces with Discovery Server to enable easy visualization and management of all discovered devices and groups, and provide useful monitoring data.
The NDI Discovery Tool allows you to manage Discovery Servers and monitor NDI devices across your network. It displays all registered NDI sources (senders) with details like device name, IP address, and streaming port, and shows all active receivers grouped by hostname to help verify which systems are listening for streams. You can also configure or update the Discovery Server’s IP and port, and quickly check the connection status, making it a valuable tool for setup and troubleshooting in NDI workflows.

NDI Remote offers a game-changing solution for seamless remote collaboration by simplifying the process of connecting participants through simple links.
NDI Remote is a tool that allows users to securely bring remote video sources directly into their NDI network. By generating a simple link, NDI Remote enables remote participants to join a production from anywhere using just a web browser and a camera. The video feed is then captured as an NDI source, which can be integrated into your live production, stream, or broadcast.
This link-based access eliminates the need for special software or technical knowledge, making the process fast and user-friendly.
The production team can bring in guests from different locations for real-time interviews. The guests can join the show from their home or office using any device with a camera and browser. Their video feeds are integrated directly into the production, maintaining high video quality with low latency.
NDI Remote allows the meeting host to include presenters from different countries with no complex setup. Their video feeds can be integrated into the main production as high-quality NDI sources, enabling seamless presentations or panel discussions across different time zones.
NDI Remote allows content creators to collaborate with remote colleagues or co-hosts on a live stream, integrating their video feeds directly into the production with high quality and low latency
NDI Screen Capture makes it simple to stream, broadcast, or record your screen in real-time without additional hardware, offering a flexible and efficient solution for video production workflows.
NDI Screen Capture is a tool designed to effortlessly share your computer’s desktop video and audio with any other device on your network by transforming your computer’s screen into a high-quality NDI source. Anything happening on your screen — a presentation, a live demo, or a video call — can be instantly captured and broadcast as part of a larger production. Offering low-latency transmission, NDI Screen Capture is ideal for live and on-demand applications.
Additionally, NDI Screen Capture works seamlessly with NVIDIA GPU-based PCs to make your screen available as an NDI source on the network, eliminating the need for expensive video capture cards when sharing or streaming content from another computer.
Multiple participants can use NDI Screen Capture to share their screen as an NDI source, making it easy for the meeting facilitator to switch between participants’ screens and keep the meeting organized and professional.
NDI Screen Capture eliminates the need for dual PC setups by turning the game on the streamer’s monitor into an NDI source. It can then be integrated seamlessly with other NDI feeds (like a camera) in streaming software to create a dynamic, professional-grade stream with minimal setup.
NDI Webcam Input is a versatile tool that converts any NDI video and audio signals in the network into a webcam source. This source can then be received and used by your main computer, opening a world of possibilities for your video content.
Corporate teams conducting regular video meetings can easily use the feed from high-definition NDI-enabled cameras through NDI Webcam Input, making meetings look more professional.
NDI Studio Monitor allows you to see any available NDI channel in real-time, arrange multiple NDI channels for live monitoring, and deploy instances for a range of professional signage and display applications
NDI Studio Monitor is a tool that runs on any compatible laptop or workstation and provides a simple and powerful interface that enables users to monitor, manage, and control NDI sources from any location on their network, adjust settings, and control PTZ cameras, all in real-time and from a single, convenient platform.
