Stream Bridge Stream Bridge

Remote NDI monitoring for clients and directors

Stream Bridge turns cameras, programme feeds, multiviews and graphics into high-quality browser viewers - low latency, controlled access, production audio, and no NDI Tools needed at the viewing end.

Signal Flow

4 Simple Steps

  1. Pick the feed

    Programme, multiview, cameras, graphics or a clean feed from your NDI network.

  2. Pair the app

    Install Stream Bridge, add a device on the dashboard and enter its connection key.

  3. Share a link

    Send a viewer link, password optional. No port forwarding or network admin needed.

  4. They watch live

    Open it in Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari. Direct where possible, via our cloud when not.

How it works

Stream Bridge keeps NDI capture beside the source and gives each remote person a dedicated browser player for exactly the feed they need - install the desktop app, pair a device, and any NDI sources it can see are ready to stream.

One NDI stream can support different audiences through separate links. A director can get multichannel audio and communication controls, while a client gets a branded, password-protected player with a simpler set of controls.

Every viewer gets an individual connection. We prefer a direct route and use our cloud network when restrictive NAT or firewall policy stops the browser and production device connecting directly.

Live bitrate control, per-viewer connection information, device telemetry and background recovery all help protect the monitor throughout a production, while viewers just see the picture.

Technical Breakdown

Technical detail on the source, audio path, encoding load, picture quality, internet route, and viewer controls.

Supported Sources

Full-bandwidth NDI and NDI HX sources on the paired device.

Explore details

Stream Bridge works with full-bandwidth NDI and NDI HX sources the paired device can see - cameras, vMix, OBS, PTZ cameras, graphics systems and other NDI sources.

Discovery is controlled per device, so you can turn off input families you don't use, or restrict results to local sources on a crowded network.

Audio

Up to 16 channels, individually controllable.

Explore details

Stream Bridge can capture up to 16 audio channels from a single NDI source, delivered as individually controllable programme tracks.

Different audiences don't need the same audio. Configure extra tracks and communication tools at the viewer-link level to suit each role.

Performance

NVENC where available, CPU as the fallback.

Explore details

NVENC on a supported NVIDIA GPU keeps encoding latency and CPU use low - the recommended route. CPU encoding is the fallback when there's no compatible GPU, or it's already committed elsewhere.

Live telemetry makes encoder headroom visible. If load's getting close to the top or frames start dropping, cut back on concurrent work or move the encode to better hardware.

Viewer Quality & Latency

Live bitrate control, typically under 500ms.

Explore details

Create separate viewer links for different audiences, so a client and a technical operator don't need identical controls. Every viewer is a separate connection, and the configured bitrate applies to each one - two viewers at 5Mbps needs roughly 10Mbps upload.

A static presentation and a fast sports camera put very different demands on the encoder, so tune bitrate live while watching device and viewer behaviour.

Networking

Direct connection first, cloud relay when that's blocked.

Explore details

There's no manual IP exchange or router forwarding required. Each session negotiates its own route automatically.

Corporate and venue networks sometimes block a direct connection. When that happens, Stream Bridge falls back to relay, and you can drop the bitrate if the longer route has less headroom.

Security & Customisation

Custom links, passwords and branding per audience.

Explore details

Custom URLs, passwords, colours, logos and controls let you match the viewer experience to its audience. Up to 25 viewer links can be created per stream.

Security isn't just about the connection - keep your dashboard account protected, keep pairing keys private, password anything sensitive, and don't reuse access beyond the event it was made for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What production teams need to know before configuring this source, route, and destination.

Workflow setup

Any NDI or NDI HX source the paired device can see. Make sure NDI discovery is switched on in Device Settings and the source is actively transmitting, then create a stream and pick a viewer or Bridge Sharing destination.

They open the link in Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari - Chrome's the most reliable for WebRTC - and don't need anything installed.

Latency's usually in the hundreds of milliseconds rather than seconds, but no internet path is fixed - use wired connections and leave headroom where timing matters.

Monitoring & delivery

Set something both the sender and the weakest receiver can sustain. Many 1080p30 feeds start around 3-5Mbps, with higher-motion or 60fps content often needing more.

Yes, up to 16 channels come through, individually controllable. Additional audio sources can be exposed separately, and return communication is set per viewer link.

No, a direct route is preferred but not required. Relay access is supplied automatically when the endpoints can't reach each other, and the app works to recover any interrupted connection.
