rtsp-ndi 0.1.1

Bridge an RTSP stream to an NDI source

rtsp-ndi

Bridge an RTSP stream to an NDI source on your local network.

This was built mostly using Claude. Use at your own risk

Install

pip install rtsp-ndi

Also requires FFmpeg on your PATH:

• macOS: brew install ffmpeg
• Windows: https://ffmpeg.org/download.html
• Linux: sudo apt install ffmpeg

Usage

rtsp-to-ndi --url rtsp://YOUR_CAMERA_IP/stream --name "Camera 1"

The source will appear in any NDI-aware application (OBS, vMix, NDI Monitor) on your local network.

Options

--url      RTSP source URL (required)
--name     NDI source name shown on the network (default: "RTSP Source")
--latency  low or normal (default: low)

Notes

• The NDI runtime is bundled automatically via the ndi-python dependency — no manual SDK download needed.
• To use a custom NDI SDK install, set NDI_SDK_LIB=/path/to/libndi.
