NDI Send/Receive Groups Setup Help Needed

NDI Send/Receive Groups Setup Help Needed

by Oliver Breidenbach - Number of replies: 3

Hi there,

I have played around with NDI Send/Receive Groups and I can't wrap my head around this puzzle:



How do I set up Send/Receive Groups on the bridges, the cameras and the computers to achieve the following:

- mimoLive in the Control Room should see the cameras from Room A, Room B and Room C. 
- Computer A should see a feed from mimoLive in the Control Room but nothing else, not even the cameras in Room A. 
- Computer B should see a feed from mimoLive in the Control Room but nothing else, not even the cameras in Room B.
- Computer C should see a feed from mimoLive in the Control Room but nothing else, not even the cameras in Room C.

How can this be done?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Currently, I don't think you can do this once the signals are passed through NDI Bridge. The Access Manager NDI grouping works for signals available on the local network. Once they are passed through Bridge, the group settings on that side of network will determine what NDI groups the signals will be part of.

It's not that it is impossible that a future NDI Bridge could do this, the NDI Advanced SDK does allow for per stream group configuration, but that functionally hasn't been exposed in NDI Bridge.

Thank you for getting back to me. Can you please file this as a bug report? Clearly, the Bridge needs to pass on the group info belonging to the stream.

Hi Oliver,

This likely isn't a bug, but just a limitation in how the current version of NDI Bridge works.
