The official NDI® Camera. Turn your phone or tablet into a live video production camera.
NDI® (Network Device Interface) is a low latency IP video protocol developed especially for professional live video production, and is supported by an extensive list of broadcast systems from many manufacturers.
NDI® HX Camera turns your iOS imaging devices into high-quality wireless a/v sources for NDI-enabled broadcast systems and software on the same network. Your device’s output is automatically recognized by NDI-enabled* video systems, ready to be mixed into live shows or even for use as a web camera when used in conjunction with NDI® Tools (ndi.tv/tools).

No Image Stabilzation
I was hoping to use this in a situation where I need image stabilization. Unfortunately it does not seem like the camera supports Apple built-in image stabilization, which is a total bummer. Perhaps I’m missing something, but I don’t see any options for it.
Missing a few key features for me but useful nonetheless
The NDI camera app is extremely useful and powerful.
I use it in a wide variety of situations, including as a WebCam.
The only things missing are the ability to use the volume controls of the phone to zoom in and out. This would make using it as my WebCam thousand times easier as I can just hit the hardware volume keys to control the zoom.
Another missing feature is the ability to select frame rates currently it is locked to 30fps with no way to change this.
Works well with NDI 5.5
Seems to connect faster and hold a connection better than previous NDI. If you are having issues with NDI performing inconsistently make sure your devices are only on your 5G network and aren’t switching to the 2g one.
Grossly overdue for an update
NDI v5? Etc
Overall good but less configurable
There are only 3 options for quality level. The quality is not documented clearly. For example, highest quality on iPhone 11 streams 4K 30fps.
I want to have Full HD 60 fps but I cannot find that option.
Lock you at 30fps
It stated on they website that this tool can do 4k at 60 fps, however it lock you at 30 fps regardless of the pixel density you choose. Also there is no way to use a wired connection from you phone to you computer. Real waste of money.
Is not working
Please don’t spend your money in this app is not working, 1 start is too much for this app
It works, but it does have latency.
Simple to install and configure. However, it had about 1 second of latency on a iPhone 8 Plus into vMix with wireless router just a few feet away-no other traffic. App bandwidth settings don’t matter.
I like it
This is a great app, wish you had the option to select the camera lenses on iPhone 13
Bugs or snake oil?
I purchased this app exclusively because it said that it will transmit video in 4k@60fps. Upon downloading NDI 5, it’s only recognizing video stream in 2k@30fps. On top of that, I can’t record video even in 2k@30fps without SIGNIFICANT lag. The only way to stop the lag is to switch to low bandwidth mode.
I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, a high-end gaming laptop, and as well as a gigabit fiber optic internet connection. I know my phone is capable of recording 4k footage @ 60fps and that my laptop and internet is more than capable of handling the bandwidth. PLEASE look into this! If I’m paying for an app, I expect it to work as advertised.
