How to send active obs screen to a remote monitor with NDI?
I want to be able to send my active obs screen from my birds nest to a large screen tv at our snack bar. I'll be running fibre between the 2 and I'm sure I'll need a converter of some sort at the tv end. Don't know how to send from obs. Maybe I need an ndi tool? There won't be a puter at the tv end

GG @nuthinfancy, you just advanced to level 1 !
well you have to have a computer of some sort on the TV end to decode the NDI signal
either a computer or a NDI-specific playback device like the Birddog play
You can't just feed NDI to a TV, they aren't built for that
Thanks for the reply. I knew I would need some sort of convertor---the birddog play sounds good. It still doesn't get me to sending the screen to obs. Maybe I should check with birddog support.
Chromecast and cast pc screen to it? Would that maybe work?
Yeah there are potentially better options than NDI
For obs/ndi you need the ndi tools from the ndi website and then the ndi plugin for obs
Although you can just use the ndi tools without obs if you just want a camera or screen cap
Hmmm I've never used the cast stuff before but, if I can enter a url somehow into the Play, I should be able to get the stream from youtube. I'd rather not be sending and receiving over the internet if I don't have to
Erm
From YouTube? YouTube doesn’t support NDI
The birddog play is purely a ndi device
So you’d install the ndi tools on pc and send stream and control the play through web ui to connect and play the ndi feed
What are you trying to send to the TV?
I'm running 4 cameras and have other stuff like sponsors slides, replays and such.. My cameras are all ndi.
I stream motorsports races. I want to be able to send the obs output to our snackbar so customers can watch while waiting in line
The Play would just be the connection from the network cable to the tv
ok yes that would work.
would need to install these https://ndi.video/tools/
then reboot, install this https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/distroav-network-audio-video-in-obs-studio-using-ndi-technology.528/
then tools - ndi output
can choose preview or program monitor
