About:
DistroAV is a plugin for OBS Studio that integrates NewTek's NDI (Network Device Interface) technology. It enables high-quality, low-latency video and audio streaming over a standard IP network. This allows you to send and receive professional-grade video feeds between computers on your local network without dedicated capture cards.
Key Features:
  • NDI Source and Output integration directly within OBS
  • Supports high-resolution, low-latency video and audio streams
  • Eliminates the need for physical capture cards for network sources
  • Seamless workflow for sending and receiving OBS feeds
Use Cases:
  • Multi-PC streaming setups where one PC runs the game and the other runs OBS
  • Integrating live video feeds from remote cameras or computers into an OBS scene
  • Sending the final OBS program output to other NDI-compatible software or hardware
Alternatives:
  • OBS Studio Virtual Camera – Sends a video feed locally, but NDI is more robust for network streaming and multi-source management.
  • SDI/HDMI Capture Cards – Hardware solution offering physical connections, whereas DistroAV uses existing network infrastructure.
