How to set-up Nobe Display with NDI streaming

Starting with version 1.54 Nobe Display supports NDI® streaming. This means you can share your video signal with anyone in the world using any 3rd party streaming application using the built-in system video input device (webcam).

Setup

NDI® Tools

First step is to download and install NDI Tools from NewTek:
