NDI

Last updated 7 August 2026

A live video stream received over the network from an NDI sender.

NDI Source

Which sender on the network to receive. Sources are discovered rather than typed.

Colour

An NDI stream does not always describe its own colour accurately, so these can be stated explicitly.

Field

Description

Color Primaries

Auto takes what the stream declares; Manual sets the Red, Green and Blue primaries and the White Point by hand. ChromDiagram shows them on a chromaticity diagram, and Apply Preset fills in a standard set.

Color Transfer

The transfer function. Auto (Gamma) follows the stream; Gamma sets the value directly.

Set Color Primaries and Color Transfer only when the stream is wrong. Auto is right for a sender that describes itself properly, and overriding a correct stream introduces a colour error rather than fixing one.
