I came across a really interesting device last week and had to order it when I realized what it could do. I’m using the Magewell Director Mini on the streaming rig to send a wireless NDI signal to Streamlabs on a desktop computer on the other side of the arcade. Makes the rig fully wireless without requiring line of sight (as long as your network is good). The box has 2 HDMI inputs and 2 USB for webcams which works for my setup just about perfectly. I made a short video demonstrating it but would love to hear if anyone has heard of this thing or played with it (or anyone else using NDI successfully?). It’s not cheap at $1,299 but so far I really love what it can do.
Note that there’s a bit of an echo when I’m close to the rig with my mic only because I kept the commentators mic hooked in so it’s processing two separate audio signals (one over USB and one over Wifi with the NDI source). Normally the player in the tournament would have no microphone and you’d just pick up the audio from the player cam mic which also gets the game audio.
