Hi!, very nice library the viewer example works very fast!,

I'm wondering if you have an example on how to send NDI, that would very helpful

Many Thanks

Thanks for your interest!

It's been difficult to find an easy example for sending video. Mostly because colorspace conversion, chroma subsampling and planar packing of the various video formats is a very very deep rabbit hole (not to mention CPU-intensive for python/cython)

A while back I was working on some examples using ffmpeg since it already has very efficient pixel format conversion. Here's a gist with a sender and a player, both with click cli's.

Note though, that it's using pipes to get the raw data from/to ffmpeg, so it'll only work in Linux and macOS (which is why I never added it to this repository)

@ThomasLengeling here's another example found in the wild:
