Stream with Avid Media Composer - NDI+OBS

The SRT feature in Avid is still very new so for best performance we recommend using NDI together with the OBS software instead. It requires a bit more setup but has better latency and reliability.

• Download and install OBS here.

• Download and install NDI support for OBS.

• Download and install NDI tools.

• Open Avid and turn on NDI output and Desktop Audio. Then click the icon so it flashes red to start streaming.

• Open OBS and select NDI as the input source by clicking the + sign.

• In the NDI source settings, select Avid.

• Next up is entering the server details for the stream. Open settings.

• Choose Custom and paste the Server address starting with srt:// you’ve received from us. Leave Stream Key blank.

• Go to output and set bitrate. We recommend around 5 Mbit/s (5000 Kbps). Please don’t stream at higher bitrate than 12 Mbit/s.

• Set CPU preset and Tune to “ultrafast” and “zerolatency” for lowest latency.

• Click Start Streaming.

• Now login to the admin page using the login.pixelview.io/123456 address you’ve also received from us.

Click the watch link to view the stream. “Watch link”.‍ Sometimes you need to click this link before you can start streaming in OBS due to the server closing the connection after some inactivity.

Best color accuracy and quality is in the iPhone, iPad or Apple TV apps. Download Pixelview Player from the app store and enter the Stream ID and Password.
