Create the NDI Rig

1. Switch your project to Standalone and set the Graphic API to the one listed in the Requirements section.
2. In your scene, create a new empty GameObject and name it NDIController.
3. Add the NDI Controller component to the object.
4. Create an empty GameObject as a child of the NDI controller. Name it Root.
5. Create a new Camera as a child of the Root object. Name it NDICamera.
6. Set the Camera's Clear Flags to Solid Color, and set the background to Black with zero opacity.
7. Add the NDI Sender Component, select Enable Alpha.
8. Set the sender's Source Camera as itself.
9. Set the capture method to the following depending on project's renderer:
   • If using the standard render pipeline, you set the NDI Sender capture method to "Game View".
   • If using URP, you set the capture method to "Camera" and the NDI Camera's Camera/HDR setting to "Off".
10. Set the NDIController's main camera to the scene's Main Camera and the NDI camera as the child NDICamera.
