Hi all, I have a Proxmox server hidden away where it annoys nobody, and a small PC I’m the TV cabinet that I need to turn On/OFF every time I use it and when a movie needs to be transcoded, the fan spins like crazy.
Have anybody tried to use a Windows VM and share the desktop with NDI? In this way I just need an NDI decoder behind the TV and all the job will be done by the server.
Any thoughts about this?
Edit: NDI: Network Device Interface: basically it’s an audio/video (and intercom) transmission over IP with low latency. The sender could be an hardware encoder or a software.
NDI?
Edit: did some googling. Looks to be HDMI over IP.

Kinda, the difference is that you don’t need to take the output of the graphics card (so no need to run X), but you can send the video directly from a software.
