The Original and Best NDI Camera, it uniquely supports NDI HX3 alongside full NDI, multi-lens, Portrait mode and NDI Discovery Server. * Special Offer Price * NDICam is the original NDI iOS camera built by the world's leading NDI broadcast infrastructure developers - Sienna. Mature and feature rich, uniquely with both Full NDI and NDI HX3 modes. The NDI (Network Device Interface) protocol connects to professional vision mixers and other devices, and delivers a high quality, low latency connection. NDICam is compatible with All TriCasters, VMix, Wirecast and hundreds of other professional IP video systems, software and hardware, which support NDI. - Simple to use - nothing to configure on your iOS device - Switch between front and rear cameras during broadcast - Auto Focus, AF Lock and Tap to Focus - Auto Exposure, AE Lock and Tap to Expose - Illumination light on/off - Audio Mute Control - Manual Naming of NDI Stream source - 4 quality / performance levels to suit your device and network, plus NDI HX Option - Pinch to zoom (where zoom is supported) - Auto-lens mode for multi-lens cameras - On screen live / preview tally plus optional use of camera flash as talent tally (with red gel cover). - Option to prevent iOS device sleep - Select 25FPS or 29.97FPS standard rate. - Choice of Full NDI or NDI HX3 compression modes (HX2 at 2 to 20 mBit, plus HX3 Ultra) - Rotation support for Portrait or Landscape Video Modes. Front and Rear cameras can be selected at the touch of a button and NDICam features a 4 position quality vs frame rate slider to deliver optimum video suited to the quality of your wifi connection and your iPhone's processing performance. Depending on your iOS device, compression mode selected and Wifi network performance NDICam supports up to 1080 full HD resolution. Control of flashlight, touch to focus, focus lock, pinch to zoom and audio enable are also included. You can even use the phone's torch as a Tally Light, by covering it with a red gel. Note: Depending on the performance of your iOS device and your WIFI network, you may not see full frame rates when operating at maximum 1080 resolution with a full HD camera. Using HX3 mode will help if the bottleneck is your WIFI network. Note: NDI is a high bandwidth protocol designed for local area Gigabit networks. In order to see good results you will need a fast, uncontested wifi connection. If you see slow frame rates, try improving the wifi environment, with a better router, less interference, directional antenna or maybe switch to 5GHz if you are on 2.4GHz. . NB HX3 Ultra will use around 50mBits of bandwidth, so it's lower than full NDI, but still quite high. Use one of the lower bandwidth HX3 modes if your network connection is struggling. NDICam is also compatible with wired ethernet connections to iOS devices which can help deliver smooth video compared to a poor quality Wifi network. Good results have been seen with lightning to ethernet adaptors. You can specify an NDI discovery server in the application settings. Note that you will need to restart the app for any changes to take effect. Specifying a discovery server will disable the standard mDNS (Bonjour) advertisement for the NDI Cam source, so your iOS device must be able to reach the discovery server one the network. If you experience problems - delete the Discovery Server entry and restart the app. NB: NDI HX3 Ultra mode requires a recent NDI compatible receiver.

App works good in Landscape mode

In portrait mode, some of options you can’t click on. Before I bought this, I wasn’t sure if it would use the wide angle lens, as the app just says it supports multiple lenses. Well, good news, it does support all 3 cameras on the iPhone 12 Pro that I have. I do think a really cool feature would be if you could simultaneously stream all 3 of those camera angles at a time, even 2 would be cool. For a live broadcast, 1 camera would turn into 2!Anyhow, if you use this app just remember that certain notifications will stop your stream (like a low battery warning), so test/plan accordingly for all possible scenarios and turn off cellular data to prevent a phone call etc.

Worked great for festival livestream

I recently used several iPhones running NDICAM as part of the camera setup for a 3 day festival livestream, using Lightning-Ethernet(PoE) connections. They worked well with only minimal issues. Edit: one improvement I would like to see is better documentation. The online docs aren’t quite up to date, don’t mention all of the features, and could use some screenshots. For example, one thing I struggled with is that the “NDI vs NDI HX3” slider is ambiguous, do you slide it toward the one you want, or does the “off” position mean full NDI is off (the opposite), that can really mess you up since most connections using a phone don’t have enough bandwidth for full NDI.

Works great with vmix. The full ndi setting is actually a toggle, was pretty confusing but once we figured that out it’s been fantastic!! I wish I could control zoom with my dji Bluetooth gimbal but not apps fault. Overall great

Incredible NDI App!!!

I have the official NDI Camera app, but the quality and features on this are far superior, and the price is very fair. One request would be adding 30fps to the settings so it’s the same as my frame rate in OBS.
