You can resize the signal on the Streaming PC just like with any other scene, but if you want to stream say 1920×1080 at 60fps, it’ll have to be set on either system. The image size and frame rate should be set to the same values on the Main and the Streaming PC. With this single scene visible, you can start streaming (or recording) on the Streaming PC. We’ll configure it in a moment, but essentially this scene is everything that the Main PC outputs – including scene transitions and audio. On the Streaming PC we need a single empty scene, into which we’ll add a single source – namely the NDI Source. Just in case you don’t see it in the next step, try that first. Note: I had to restart my Main PC after setting this up, probably a Windows thing. We can now switch scenes on our Main PC, and offload the whole compression thing on other Streaming PC. As soon as this box is ticked, all data can be pulled in on the Streaming PC. Tick the Main option and give your machine a name (preferably without spaces) so that the Streaming PC can pick it up.

We’ll see two options, a Main and a Preview. If you don’t see this option, the NDI plugin is not installed properly. Once installed, take a look under Tools and find NDI Output Settings. However, we can still switch scenes on the main PC in OBS just as we always do. Essentially the main PC will send its entire OBS scene more or less uncompressed over the network, at a very high data rate, only to be properly compressed on the second PC that will do the actual streaming. I should mention that this will with a wireless network, but it can lead to lower frame rates due to data throughput. the OBS-NDI plugin installed on both systems.two installations of OBS, one on either computer.two computers on the same network (wired for best results).

I’ve been experimenting with OBS NDI recently, and although it may not be as relevant in 2020 as it once was, I thought it best to take some notes on how to make a dual-PC streaming setup work before I forget.
