NDI Monitor

Works to receive well, but can only view any source in landscape even if the source is portrait. It gets fit to window to yield big black bars on the left and right of a smaller portrait window

This is the only app out there that does what it does, so it’s hard to make comparisons. The basic functionality works fine — it detects and displays NDI a/v streams. Sometimes the video freezes when switching between apps and requires an app restart, but usually reselecting the source will reset it. Where it falls down are the little things that you expect to work but don’t. The audio output won’t play over Bluetooth, so you can’t use wireless headphones or speakers. The app hasn’t been built with iPad multitasking support, so you can’t do side-by-side mode or picture-in-picture, which would be really useful if you’re monitoring a stream that you’re controlling with another app. For the price, a little more polish would be nice, but until there’s some competition, I don’t know if we’ll see it.

This is awesome... it definitely needs the low bandwidth option to be available like the camera app if that is even possible. Did a time test. It is well with in one second loss from watching a timer. It is a great start, hopefully with some time it can get better. For notes we have a ruckus network that we have streamed NDI over to a compute stick on. We know our network can handle it. I think it has something to do with the iPad. I’m using a mini, will try to try it on a 9.7 pro later
