questions about NDI

[thatmattrogers]

Hi,

I'm curious bout using NDI to connect live cameras to isadora, I've noticed that there's an NDI watcher actor but I'm curious about the limitations.
I'm not really too keen on investing in a lot of NDI encoding hardware if it doesn't play nicely with the rest of my setup.

So here are my questions:
1: I'm assuming that I'll only need an NDI encoder and that the NDI watcher will take care of the decoding... is that correct?

2: how many different NDI feeds can I run on the same network into Isadora without any trouble?

3:I'm thinking of switching from using USB capture devices to an NDI based setup, are there any big downsides to doing that which I should be aware of?

thanks.

This depends on your network and the computer on which you are running Isadora. 

We don't limit how many NDI feeds you can bring into Isadora, it's just a question of at what point all that video is too much for your computer.
