NDI® (Network Device Interface) is a low latency IP video protocol developed especially for professional live video production, and is supported by an extensive list of broadcast systems from many manufacturers.

Your device’s output is automatically recognized by NDI-enabled* video systems, ready to be mixed into live shows or even for use as a web camera when used in conjunction with NDI® Tools (ndi.tv/tools).

Ratings and Reviews
Needs extra camera support
Using this for handheld live broadcasts at events. Easy to use and works flawlessly over our networks.
My only comment/request is that it needs to support the wide and tele cameras of the iPhone Pro. Hopefully this is something the developers are already planning.
Incredibly unstable
Feels like it was made by a teenage in his bedroom. I wouldn’t trust this for anything other than gimmicks. Have no other issues with NDI sources on my network however this cannot maintain a standard video from my iPhone 13 pro for more than 10 seconds. There are no settings in this app that allow you to tell if anything is working correctly. Nothing is configurable. You are completely blind when you cannot transmit any video. No debugging or diagnostic options. Rip off at this price. Companies need to do better and stop taking consumers for a ride. Trying to get my money back ASAP.
Needs updating to support Wide Angle Lens
I’ve queried with NDI why the App hasn’t been updated in several years and why it doesn’t support the full range of lenses on iPhone 13 / 14.
Reply from Tech Support on 10th July 2023 was “ At present, you can only use the primary shooter lens for both rear and front facing camera. I'll see if we can put it in as a feature request, but ultimately we'd be limited to whatever options Apple has made available to us.”
They don’t seem to realise that full support for all camera devices on iPhone has been available for over 4 years!
