Outputs · NDI · SRT · RTMP · External
Send a page out of Glider itself — NDI with alpha, SRT, RTMP streaming, DeckLink SDI fill and key, or full screen on a display — like vMix's Outputs, Stream and External Output.
The output engine draws what the outputs send. Monitors and viewers draw the page themselves.
One output engine draws each picture the outputs send. Outputs of the same page, bus and channel share one renderer and one frame clock, so NDI, SRT, RTMP, SDI and Web send the same frame at the same moment. One channel alone is a separate picture with its own renderer.
| Surface | Who draws it | Why |
|---|---|---|
| NDI, SRT, RTMP, SDI and Web (/out) | The output engine, at the show's frame rate. | These need the pixels, and the engine makes them once. |
| Multiview Preview, Program and scene cards | The editor window, from the same program state, with the same scene renderer the engine runs. | A Cut changes Preview and Program in the same frame, and a scene card needs no renderer of its own. |
| Program deck › Return | The output engine: its own picture at half size, up to 30 times a second. | A confidence check of what the outputs actually send. If the renderer freezes, Return says so. |
| /view: a browser source, the Monitors link, Open live | The browser itself, at its display's rate, with alpha. | Smooth on any computer. Add ?renderer=shared to see the engine's picture instead, as Return shows it. |
| Fullscreen outputs | Their own window, on that display. | Full frame rate, without copying pictures from one process to another. |
