Ndi 3.5

[SBowie]

Just to point it out, OS X users did get some useful updates - specifically, Video Monitor can now be used to register third party HX devices, just like the Windows version; and more importantly, a brand new Access Manager application for OS X (with the same capabilities as the Windows version).

Oops, yeah, I was thinking about NDI tools, more specifically scan converter as I realize that it is still on Version 1.0

Nothing major honestly, just the annoyance that the cursor on Mac OS is not drawn exactly where is it is supposed to be.

Just a quick recap.

NDI Studio Monitor now has web base remote control features
VLC 3.x plug-in
NDI|HX drivers included
NDI Virutal Input sends NDI video into webcam applications

Macintosh:
NDI Access Manager, add your Mac to NDI groups and setup NDI sources on different subnets

Very Important Note about NDI 3.5 on macOS
--------------------------------------------------------

The current version of NDI Access Manager for macOS is *NOT* compatible with Sandboxed applications such as those from the macOS App Store. Any information entered into NDI Access Manager can not be accessed from sandboxed NDI apps and will be ignored. Clearly this affects a very large proportion of the macOS NDI apps which are out in the field - so it's important to share this information to prevent user frustration.

Some Sienna macOS apps have an alternative macOS subnet access solution and this continues to operate.
We have already developed an app-store compatible solution for NDI Access and hopefully NewTek will implement this into a quick update to NDI Access Manager for macOS.

if anyone is affected by this, please contact NewTek support rather than the Developer of the affect App Store software, since the resolution needs to come from the NewTek side.

As the new scan converter needs at least windows 8, how can I install the new Studio Monitor, VLC plugin and NDI-HX, keeping the old scan converter 3.0? When I select just the applications that I need it removes the others, including the old scan converter.

Are you talking NDI 3.5 or NDI Tools?

NDI 3.5 is out for MacOSX (and Linux) with the SDK.

As for Tools, I'm not sure. Sienna might be able to jump if they have any plans on their NDI applications as well.

Some of the Sienna macOS apps have already been updated to use NDI 3.5 where there are functional benefits. Check in the App Store for details.
