If you want to record a local screen on the VideoSyncPro Studio computer, or the screen content on a mac or iOS device, you can do so using the NDI tools—provided the computer is powerful enough.
Note: To record screen content from external computers, we recommend a physical connection using a CamLink adapter (HDMI->USB) or a TBS (HDMI->LAN converter) due to the generally higher stability.
Installing NDI Tools
▪Download and run the installer that fits the operating system with the screen to be captured:
https://ndi.video/type/ndi-tools/
▪Confirm the default installer wizard dialogs to allow proper installation.
▪Should an error message concerning creation of a data directory appear, simply confirm with OK. It is not relevant for us.
