Hi,
the work accomplished with NDI in 3.3.0 beta was amazing. Are you considering an open source alternative like OMT?

For compressed video SMPTE 2110-22 is also a solution.
Thanks for the suggestions - though we don't have an update to share about specific protocols at this time. From our support article about Video Streams:
Video Stream support in Eos v3.3.0 - Electronic Theatre Controls Inc
We still believe video content can enrich the future of production lighting and are looking at other options. It is our plan to return the Video Stream feature to an upcoming Eos release using one or several of those protocols very soon.
I think one of the keys isn't just to support "some sort of" video-over-IP, but something that is widely used by gear that people are already using in their production workflow. For example, cameras, video media servers, etc. For example we use Resolume and/or Pixera at various venues for LED video content, and can grab an NDI stream and bring that in as a pixel mapping source. However, OMT isn't widely adopted by any commerical video playout server that I'm aware of, nor is it used for any network enabled camera.
That being said, there are plenty of other video-over-IP that are out there -- that is supported by production grade video sources -- I think of SMTP 2110 (relatively new but VERY high bandwidth), RTSP & RTMP, etc.
Could we please have some information on the RigPOV, which is supposed to send the NDI video stream?
Would that also be dropping NDI support and using other protocols?
Our whole video-infrastructure is NDI based.
Do you know of a way to convert between protocols without significant delay, by chance?
I wouldn't want to miss out on integrating video-streams in the future, but our gear doesn't support any other protocols at the moment.
If you don't mind me asking, what gear is currently in your infrastructure?
4 BirdDog PTZs, a Tricaster 2 and various NDI-Transmitters. Resolume an Arkaos MediaMaster as well.
