NDI Video Output for VJs

Your visuals, anywhere on the network.

DjMirror Pulse effects output — the visuals you can send over NDI to any device on the network

Send your DjMirror Pulse visuals over the network as a clean NDI source — no capture cards, no long HDMI runs. Any NDI-aware app on the same network can pick up the feed: OBS, vMix, video switchers or remote screens.

Perfect for streaming, multi-room events and broadcast setups where the machine running the show isn’t the machine driving the screens. NDI output is available in the Full edition.

What you can do with NDI

  • Stream to OBS or vMix — pull the visuals straight into your live stream as an NDI source, no capture hardware.
  • Feed a video switcher — send the show to a production switcher for multi-camera events.
  • Drive remote screens — run the show on one machine and display it on others across the venue.
  • Shape each output — apply per-output crop, rotate and mask so every screen gets exactly the right frame.

How NDI output works

NDI runs as a separate bridge process, not an in-app toggle. Configure your output — name, crop, rotate, mask — in the NDI Controller panel inside DjMirror Pulse Settings, which saves a config file. Then run the bundled DjMirrorPulseNdiBridge program to actually start streaming: it captures the show’s visual output window and publishes it as a named NDI source (for example, “DjMirrorPulse Main”) onto your local network.

Any NDI receiver on the same LAN/VLAN discovers it automatically — no IP addresses to type. Streams video only, with no fixed frame-rate cap — it runs at whatever your hardware can render. NDI audio isn’t included. On macOS, the first run asks you to grant Screen Recording permission, since the bridge captures the window rather than tapping the renderer directly. Need more than one feed? The config supports multiple named outputs (sample configs ship with up to five), each shaped independently.

NDI output at a glance

Full edition. Windows and macOS. No credit card needed.

Requirements

NDI output is available in the Full edition of DjMirror Pulse (Windows and macOS) and runs as a separate DjMirrorPulseNdiBridge process alongside the main app. On macOS, grant it Screen Recording permission the first time you run it. For live shows, connect everything over wired Gigabit Ethernet on the same LAN/VLAN as your receiver — NDI is bandwidth-heavy and Wi-Fi can drop frames under load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DjMirror Pulse support NDI?

Yes. The Full edition includes a standalone NDI bridge that publishes your show to the local network at your render resolution (1920×1080 in the shipped example configs).

Is NDI just a switch inside the app?

No. The in-app NDI Controller (Settings) only edits the output config — name, crop, rotate, mask. To actually stream, you run the bundled DjMirrorPulseNdiBridge program, which captures the show window and publishes it as an NDI source. On macOS it will ask for Screen Recording permission the first time.

Which apps can receive the NDI feed?

Any NDI-aware application on the same LAN/VLAN — OBS Studio (with the NDI plugin), vMix, hardware and software video switchers, and other machines running an NDI receiver. The feed is video only; NDI audio isn’t sent.

Can I send more than one NDI output?

Yes. The config supports multiple named outputs — sample configs ship with up to five — each with its own crop, rotate and mask, so different screens or destinations get different framing.

Do I need special hardware?

No capture cards are required — NDI travels over standard Ethernet. For reliable live performance, use wired Gigabit networking on the same LAN/VLAN as your receiver, rather than Wi-Fi.

Is NDI in the Mac App Store (Lite) edition?

No. NDI output is a Full-edition feature (direct download for Windows and macOS). The Lite edition on the Mac App Store runs the same audio-reactive and DMX engine without NDI.

Send your show anywhere on the network — OBS, switchers, remote screens. NDI output is built into the Full edition. Try DjMirror Pulse free for 14 days, no credit card.
