Output Streams

VERTEX is capable to stream a Surface out as Output Stream (NDI, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, UDP)

Output-Streams can be created with the Main Menu ( Create) or with a right-click on a Surface in Project Explorer

A Fullscreen Renderer has to run on your sender System or your Sender System has to be set into Streaming Mode

Create an Output Stream

1. Empty Output Stream

Go to the Main Menu, Open CREATE

Select Output Stream

add NDI Output Stream

An Output Stream without an assigned Surface is created

2. Output Stream based on a Surface

Right-Click on a Surface and open the Context Menu

Select "Create new NDI Output Stream"

A new NDI Output Stream is created and the Surface already is assigned to it.

Surfaces that are assigned to an Output Stream are marked into Project Explorer with a sender symbol:

Send Fullscreen out as a Stream

technically, your content first has to be rendered to send it as a stream.

VERTEX offers you two options to render a Stream in Realtime and send it out as NDI

Right-Click on the System that should send your stream and choose between the 2 options belo

Set Streaming Mode
A hidden Fullscreen renderer is started in background. Streaming is possible without your local VERTEX application additionally has to a Fullscreen Renderer running.
 
Set Fullscreen Mode (default)

No hidden Fullscreen Renderer is running in background. If using this mode, sending out a stream is only possible when you start the Fullscreen Renderer on this System
