NDI for VLC

Transforming Your Windows Computer into an NDI Video Server.

The NDI VLC Plugin enables you to present video content and other supported multimedia to the network as IP sources directly from VLC Media Player. It encodes the output from each instance of the free player to NDI in real-time, making media files of virtually any format available for use in your live production.
