Obs-ndi-4.11.1-windows-x64-installer.exe May 2026

Her heart beat faster.

For three years, she had run a two-PC streaming setup. Gaming on the main rig, encoding and streaming on the secondary. The connection? A simple HDMI cable running from her gaming GPU’s output to a capture card on the streaming PC. It was reliable, like a stubborn mule. But it was also a cage.

On the streaming PC, she went to Tools > NDI Output Settings. A small panel appeared. She clicked "Main Output" and gave it a name: MAYA_GAMING_RIG . obs-ndi-4.11.1-windows-x64-installer.exe

She switched back to the gaming PC’s OBS. In the NDI Source properties, she clicked "Source Name." A dropdown populated. A single name appeared, glowing like a lighthouse beam through fog:

She double-clicked it.

She clicked "OK."

Windows Defender flickered for a moment, then subsided. The installer window bloomed onto her screen: a stark, utilitarian dialog box with a pale blue progress bar. It asked for her OBS Studio directory. She pointed it to C:\Program Files\obs-studio\ . The "Install" button glowed like a dormant star. Her heart beat faster

For one terrifying second, the preview pane remained black. Doubt crept in. Of course it failed. Networks are unreliable. Should have stuck with HDMI.
