IPTV OTT Encoding & Streaming

Network Device Interface (NDI) is a software specification developed by NewTek. It is designed to transmit, receive, and manage high-definition video over gigabit Ethernet using the NDI codec. Numerous device and software manufacturers support NDI, including JVC, Panasonic, LiveU, Deltacast, AJA, vMix, and OBS.

IPVTL software is shipped with NDI SDK so no extra SDK installation is required to work with NDI devices or 3rd party software.

Stream from Third-Party NDI Sources (vMix, XSplit, OBS)

In the third-party application, find a setting like NewTek NDI Output and enable it. In IPVTL, select Newtek NDI in channel source formats and click ... button to search for available NDI sources on your computer.

Note that NDI sources may take a long time to be detected. If no NDI sources are found, try increasing the timeout value and click Search Again.

Stream to Newtek NDI Interfaces

Conversely, IPVTL can stream to third-party applications such as vMix, XSplit, and OBS via NDI. In IPVTL, select Newtek NDI as the Target Format. The output NDI name in Target URL defaults to ipvt_ch##, but you can enter any name you prefer.

After channel started, the NDI output shall be seen in 3rd party apps.
