NDI is a network protocol that allows you to send audio and video over a standard network in real time. VVCR allows you to transcode your streams in NDI and pull them into your Production Modules.
A cluster with transcoding enabled is needed to use NDI.
Create a new stream.
Check the X Primary Box under Transcode to NDI to access the stream through NDI in Production Module.
If you have multiple instances, each will be listed under the Transcode to NDI menu. The first will be listed as X Primary and the second as Y Primary. Check the one you want to use.
Adjust the rest of the settings as needed and press save.
You can connect your stream source as normal. VVCR takes any SRT or RTMP source and will send it out in NDI and put it in the VPC.
Create a new Production Module.
Adjust the settings as needed. The instance just needs to be created on a cluster with transcoding enabled and on the same cluster as your streams.
Once it’s active, connect to your instance through Parsec.
VVCR creates an AWS Discovery Server every time it creates a cluster with transcoding enabled. The discovery server is what allows VVCR to use NDI.
To find this server, go to NDI access manager.
Select Advance.
Discovery Server should be toggled on and your IP address is right underneath the checkbox. Each Production Module created under the same Cluster uses the same Discovery Server.
If a Production Module is created on a cluster without transcoding, you’ll have to go into NDI Access Manager - External Sources and manually add the private IP for each Production Module you want to send or receive NDI streams.
The easiest method is to just create all your Production Modules on the same cluster.
To confirm you are receiving the NDI stream. Go to NDI Tools and select the studio monitor.
Click on the three lines at the top of the screen. It will display the IP address and name of all NDI feeds you're receiving. Click the the stream and it will appear in the preview window.
Go into vMix, click Add input, select NDI desktop capture, and select your source.
