NDI Output
This feature requires a Pro license.
NDI® Output allows you to stream video from OmniScope over your local network using the NDI® (Network Device Interface) protocol. Any NDI®-compatible application or device on the same network can receive the stream.
NDI® Input
NDI® input sources are automatically displayed in the Connect to dialog. No additional configuration is needed — OmniScope discovers all active NDI® senders on the network.
Output Modes
NDI® output options are available in the Options menu or directly from the toolbar. There are two output modes:
Source Pass-through
In this mode OmniScope forwards the input signal to the NDI® stream. When multiple sources are connected, select which one to output from the drop-down in the NDI® settings panel.
NDI® output — source pass-through
All Scopes
In this mode OmniScope sends the entire application view as an NDI® signal. The receiving party sees exactly what is displayed in the application — all scopes, overlays, and UI elements. This is useful for remote collaboration and review sessions.
NDI® output — all scopes mode
NDI® Options
Use the settings panel to change:
Bit depth — 8-bit or 16-bit signal
Image scaling — reduce resolution to save bandwidth and lower latency
Receiving the Stream
The NDI® stream appears as a source in any NDI®-compatible application, including OBS Studio, vMix, Wirecast, and other OmniScope instances.
Performance Tips
Use wired Gigabit Ethernet for reliable streaming at 1080p and above.
NDI® is low-latency but not zero-latency — expect 1–3 frames of delay.
Use descriptive stream names when running multiple OmniScope instances on the same network.
Troubleshooting
Stream not visible — verify both devices are on the same subnet and check firewall settings (NDI® uses mDNS for discovery).
Dropouts or poor quality — switch from Wi-Fi to wired Ethernet, or reduce the output resolution in the NDI® settings panel.
NDI input/output options are missing on Windows — install the latest NDI Runtime, then restart Windows. OmniScope now reports this explicitly when the NDI plugins are present but the runtime cannot be loaded.
