hdmi - ndi converter I want to convert HDMI into an NDI signal..

[Sarah]

 

Hi all.

We are using Unreal, and we need a connection between WATCHOUT-Unreal.

I want to receive the display output from the WO server as content from Unreal.

I thought of NDI at first, but I found that NDI output was impossible in WO.

(I understand that the Scan Converter App is also incompatible.)

 

I think, the Display output from the Display Server graphics card must be preceded.

So my plan is two things below.

After Display output from the graphics card,

1) [Display Out] - [Capture Card] - [Unreal]
2) [Display Out] - [HDMI to NDI Converter] - [Unreal]
    - I'm thinking about Kiloview N40 / U40.

 

* Has anyone ever used a Capture Card to send WO's Output to another PC?

* Has anyone used Kiloview's HDMI to NDI Converter? Is it compatible?

I had exactly as a feature request at the beginning of the pandemic.

WO is so good at orchestrating and playing back, that I had thoght  it could be useful for virtual multiscreenplayback.

Maybe with a different licensing model.

We use Kiloview and BirdDog converters without issue. 
 

You can also just use a capture card, as per your own thoughts.

Dataton AB use a BirdDog in the WATCHOUT Academy. We also hear good things about the Magewell NDI products.

And it has been heard. I wish things were moving faster. Suffice is to say, NDI output is included in the next major release ( and has passed alpha testing). One of numerous additions. I hope i live long enough to see it reach the market . In all fairness, we do not want a product that is not ready.
