DistroAV is an open-source integration plugin for OBS Studio that provides Network Device Interface (NDI) support so users can send and receive live audio and video over IP networks directly within OBS, formerly known as the OBS-NDI project before being renamed. By implementing NDI input sources, dedicated output transports, and special filter modes, it allows creativity-oriented workflows such as capturing remote cameras, sharing scenes between machines, or distributing live feeds without capture cards or physical cabling. The plugin works with the NDI runtime and supports modern versions of OBS Studio across Windows, macOS, and Linux, enabling streamers and production setups to leverage low-latency, high-quality media over local networks for multi-device collaboration or extended setups. DistroAV’s development community focuses on maintaining compatibility with the latest OBS releases and NDI v6 tooling while addressing bugs and extending feature requests.
