Doesn’t work well
Good concept but poor User interface and not fit for purpose as you can barely get any decent video out of this. Pretty unreliable. Refund requested.

Description
* Special Offer Price *
NDICam is the original NDI iOS camera built by the world's leading NDI broadcast infrastructure developers - Sienna.
Mature and feature rich, uniquely with both Full NDI and NDI HX3 modes.
The NDI (Network Device Interface) protocol connects to professional vision mixers and other devices, and delivers a high quality, low latency connection. NDICam is compatible with All TriCasters, VMix, Wirecast and hundreds of other professional IP video systems, software and hardware, which support NDI.
- Simple to use - nothing to configure on your iOS device
- Switch between front and rear cameras during broadcast
- Auto Focus, AF Lock and Tap to Focus
- Auto Exposure, AE Lock and Tap to Expose
- Illumination light on/off
- Audio Mute Control
- Manual Naming of NDI Stream source
- 4 quality / performance levels to suit your device and network, plus NDI HX Option
- Pinch to zoom (where zoom is supported)
- Auto-lens mode for multi-lens cameras
- On screen live / preview tally plus optional use of camera flash as talent tally (with red gel cover).
- Option to prevent iOS device sleep
- Select 25FPS or 29.97FPS standard rate.
- Choice of Full NDI or NDI HX3 compression modes (HX2 at 2 to 20 mBit, plus HX3 Ultra)
- Rotation support for Portrait or Landscape Video Modes.
Front and Rear cameras can be selected at the touch of a button and NDICam features a 4 position quality vs frame rate slider to deliver optimum video suited to the quality of your wifi connection and your iPhone's processing performance. Depending on your iOS device, compression mode selected and Wifi network performance NDICam supports up to 1080 full HD resolution.
Control of flashlight, touch to focus, focus lock, pinch to zoom and audio enable are also included. You can even use the phone's torch as a Tally Light, by covering it with a red gel.
Note: Depending on the performance of your iOS device and your WIFI network, you may not see full frame rates when operating at maximum 1080 resolution with a full HD camera. Using HX3 mode will help if the bottleneck is your WIFI network.
Note: NDI is a high bandwidth protocol designed for local area Gigabit networks. In order to see good results you will need a fast, uncontested wifi connection. If you see slow frame rates, try improving the wifi environment, with a better router, less interference, directional antenna or maybe switch to 5GHz if you are on 2.4GHz. .
NB HX3 Ultra will use around 50mBits of bandwidth, so it's lower than full NDI, but still quite high. Use one of the lower bandwidth HX3 modes if your network connection is struggling.
NDICam is also compatible with wired ethernet connections to iOS devices which can help deliver smooth video compared to a poor quality Wifi network. Good results have been seen with lightning to ethernet adaptors.
You can specify an NDI discovery server in the application settings. Note that you will need to restart the app for any changes to take effect. Specifying a discovery server will disable the standard mDNS (Bonjour) advertisement for the NDI Cam source, so your iOS device must be able to reach the discovery server one the network. If you experience problems - delete the Discovery Server entry and restart the app.
NB: NDI HX3 Ultra mode requires a recent NDI compatible receiver.

No option to select lens
I think you're meant to pinch to zoom, hard to get the exact position though so would much prefer just selecting the lens. Also doesn't seem to work with tele lens. Also missing 4K option which is present in the official NDI app, also 60fps. Additionally the scaling seems to be off on the iPhone 13 Pro Max, whereby some icons disappear off the screen and can no longer be interacted with. Please keep deceloping!
Good support for older devices
This is working well providing 2 cam views over WiFi. It’s on HX and 720p to get it more reliable, but being able to change settings to suit your environment is a plus. The biggest plus that puts this ahead of competitors and makes it 5 stars is being able to use it on older devices. It’s effectively putting 2 old phones that were otherwise ‘retired’ to good use. Thank you.
Generally excellent!
My main motivation to buy this over the official NDI camera app was that this one runs on 32bit iOS devices. For me that means an iPad 4th gen. I’m lucky to also have a 6th gen too so I can compare. I’m very impressed with the performance. On the 4th gen I can run on 2nd quality/speed. I set to NDI HX2 and 2mbit. It runs great on 5ghz WiFi. I receive on OBS with hardware decode and experimental low latency settings.
Really disappointed
Despite excellent network on both devices the app freezes and is unusable. Really unhappy with this purchase...
