How do I setup to receive NDI input and output ultra low latency video?

I am trying to distribute time sensitive video (multi-viewer) to my production crew. what would be the best way to setup transport for lowest latency, and would kind of latency should I expect to achieve.

Hi,

We've shown a pipeline in our NDI setup article https://blog.wmspanel.com/2020/07/ndi-nimble-streamer.html which involves SRT as the protocol to deliver streams between production crews and use NDI on site. So you can consider that option. Notice that SRT uses latency as its primary way to mitigate losses and re-send lost packets. So if you have reliable a network between the crews then you can lower the latency to hundreds of milliseconds.

You can also use RTMP as your delivery protocol but if your network causes losses, you will loose frames on the way from one crew to another.

So the choice is yours. Let us know if you have further questions.
