NDI Media Player for Mac Live Production
A Mac NDI media player gives live producers a focused place to play show media into an NDI-capable production workflow. It keeps playback separate from the main encoder while still appearing as a clean source in OBS, Wirecast, vMix, NDI Monitor, or another compatible receiver.

Why use a dedicated NDI media player on Mac?
Many Mac-based live productions run from a single workstation or a small network of laptops. A dedicated NDI media player keeps playback work focused and easier to operate during the show.
The main production app may already be handling cameras, scenes, graphics, audio, streaming, and recording. Moving media playback into a focused NDI tool gives the operator a cleaner way to prepare and roll show clips.
NDI output
Send playback into OBS, Wirecast, vMix, NDI Monitor, and compatible receivers.
A/B workflow
Use two playback wells so one media item can be ready while another is in use.
Cleaner encoder
Keep show media separate from the app responsible for switching and streaming.
Operator confidence
Give playback its own interface during live production.
Repeatable shows
Create a more predictable media workflow for recurring productions.
