DistroAV (formerly OBS-NDI) is a plugin for OBS Studio that adds NDI (Network Device Interface) integration for sending and receiving audio and video over a network. It provides NDI sources, outputs, and per-source/scene filters within OBS.

Use cases

• send OBS output over NDI to other machines on the LAN
• receive NDI streams as sources in OBS Studio
• route a single OBS scene's audio to NDI
• do network-based video production without capture cards
• multi-PC streaming setups with NDI

When to choose

• you use OBS Studio and need NDI input or output
• you want low-latency AV distribution across a local network
• you need a free, actively maintained alternative to paid NDI tools for OBS

When to avoid

• you need NDI in software other than OBS Studio
• you need to stream over the internet rather than a LAN (NDI is LAN-oriented)
• you use a streaming tool other than OBS
