NETWORK PLANNING

Fix NDI Stuttering

If NDI sources are stuttering, the root cause is usually bandwidth, stream count, or the wrong NDI mode for the network. Start with the planner and model the load instead of guessing.

Estimate NDI bandwidth

Use it before changing switch settings or replacing hardware blindly.

Common Causes

Network saturation
Too many streams
Incorrect NDI type (HX vs full)

Why this helps

NDI problems are usually load problems. The planner gives you a practical estimate from stream type, resolution, framerate, and receiver count, which is more reliable than guessing from source count alone.
