Choose a video source

How to get the multiview picture onto your Mac – via USB, Blackmagic, NDI® or VDO.Ninja.

Choose the source under Settings → Multiview Source or quickly in the source menu above the multiview. There are two rows: Video streams and Hardware devices.

USB (UVC)

For anything that shows up like a webcam – e.g. the USB-C output of an ATEM Mini or a USB capture card. Very low latency, no network needed.

1. Plug in the device.
2. Choose Hardware devices → USB (UVC) and pick it under Device.
3. Allow camera access the first time.

Blackmagic

For DeckLink, UltraStudio and Intensity devices.

1. Install Blackmagic Desktop Video (the download link is in the same section).
2. Choose Hardware devices → Blackmagic (DeckLink / Thunderbolt) and pick the device.
3. Allow camera access.

NDI®

If your mixer or another computer sends the multiview via NDI®, choose NDI® under Video streams and pick the source from the list. The Mac and the source must be on the same network.

• One multiview source: the usual case – the source already is a finished multiview.
• Multiple sources (Pro): build your own multiview from several cameras. Open Arrange windows & assign sources, choose an arrangement (e.g. 2×2, 3×3, 2+8) and click each window to give it a source. Up to 12 windows.

VDO.Ninja

Also works over the internet, with about 0.2–1 second of delay.

1. On the computer with the multiview signal, open a push link, e.g. https://vdo.ninja/?push=MyMultiview.
2. In the app, enter the matching view link: https://vdo.ninja/?view=MyMultiview.

Next: Connect Companion.
