Autodesk Flame ​

Flame hands its picture to OBS Studio over NDI, and OBS sends it to Pixelview, with no capture device needed.

Good for trying Pixelview, not for final review

Flame's NDI output has lower resolution and heavier compression than its SDI output. For client sessions, stream the SDI output with Pixelview Desktop, OBS Studio and a capture device, or a hardware encoder. See Choose How to Stream.

1. Turn on NDI output in Flame ​

In Setup and Preferences, set NDI as your video and audio output.
