I guess that NDI will do that, but Isadora does not support this yet. https://www.newtek.com/ndi/

@Michel I've been using the SyphontoNDI app which is a good way to use Isadora and NDI

[Fred]

NDI is local network only

@Fred

On windows there are solutions for over the internet:

 Wow....seems that it is not available yet though, just some tests.

...there's a rumour that SoundJack is being developed to include video. it seems like this is a near-future thing.

i've spoken to a friend who is an IT specialist - he suggested a solution that involves setting up something inside a router and using external IPs, which seems like it might work, but, in the context of this installation, I don't have access to the routers, so i think I'm going to have to use an online conferencing solution. When I've experimented with Skype and Isadora before, I found that dealing with the connection using hardware was producing better results than a software solution using CamTwist.

maybe https://obsproject.com offers something helpful.

NDI.Cloud is in open beta, and I've found that it works pretty well. I've used it cross-platform with no issue, though they say that it runs better in Mac OS. There are spout/syphon to NDI plugins you can use to get the video stream into it, and I'd recommend using something like Hamachi to set up a tunnel/VPN between your computers. I'm using it to try and replace a video-conference link for a show. I wish I'd done more testing to tell you about, but so far so good. I haven't found a good way to get audio from Isadora into the NDI stream, but I might use VBAN to do a separate audio stream.

@mwasser - thanks for the information - it looks like this might be a good option - i shall investigate your links and report back. i use SoundJack for realtime audio - its worth checking out if you want a low-latency, high quality audio stream to a specific IP.
