NDI and streaming
The verse as a video source for vMix, OBS, Resolume or a switcher — with a transparent background, so it keys over live video with no chroma key and no fringe around the letters.
Turning it on
Settings → NDI → tick Send the output as an NDI source. That is the whole setup.
There is nothing to install. The NDI library ships inside the application, so a church PC that has never heard of NDI can send a stream the moment the box is ticked. If the library somehow cannot load, the NDI tab says so in plain words and everything else carries on — NDI is a nice-to-have, never a dependency.
It is its own output
This is the important part: NDI is not a copy of a projector screen. It does not appear in the screens list and it does not follow any of them. Everything about it is on the NDI tab:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Languages | Both languages, the first alone, or the second alone |
| Order | Which language is on top, when it carries both |
| Width / Height | The stream renders at its own resolution |
| Background | Same as the projector, transparent, or a colour of its own |
| Text | The projector's colours, or its own for each language |
| Coloured bands | Drop the per-language background bands for the stream only |
So the projector can carry Romanian over English on black while the stream carries English alone, transparent, in yellow.
Transparent output
Set Background to Transparent and the frame is sent as BGRA with straight alpha — only the words are opaque. vMix, OBS, Resolume and TriCaster can lay it straight over live video with no chroma key and no fringe around the letters.
The projector is unaffected. It is a window on a screen and stays opaque; only the stream carries the alpha.
In your switcher, make sure the NDI source is set to use the alpha channel — in OBS that is the NDI source's Allow alpha option.
Resolution and frame rate
The stream renders at the size you set, so it is never a scaled screenshot of a projector. 1920×1080 at 30fps is a sensible default; raise the frame rate only if your switcher needs it — the frame only changes when the verse does, and the timer re-sends the cached image in between.
When it starts and stops
The stream carries what is projected. It starts when you project and stops when you release, in step with the screens.
