So I want to use NDI to enable smooth switching of VJs during a gig.
I have been running test extensively.
The setup is simple;
Direct Cat7 UTP connection from one PC to the other with manually set IP and WIFI disabled.
From Macbook M1-MAX to RAZER 15 Base 2019 (i7&RTX2060,16GB RAM)
It works fine when using 1080p@60. Even with 3 screens. Adding a 4th. Drops the FPS to rougly 45.
This is not ideal but it is acceptable.
However, when using only one 2160p@60 screen the stability and smoothness drops dramatically!
setting the composition to 30FPS iproves things a little but it is still not where it should be.
The network usage is only 30MB/s so that is well within the 1Gb bandwidth.
Why is is that it is having such a hard time? There is no bottleneck in sight to me. CPU, GPU and network are all doing fine.
I have made a screenrecording comparing the original from the Mac and the NDI signal on the PC. Have a look at it here;
Any help on this is greatly appreciated!
