NDI Audio Monitor allows monitoring of low latency NDI format IP Audio streams on your iOS device. All NDI sources discovered on your local subnet are presented in a list to select. If you enter additional 'NDI Access' IP Addresses from other subnets into the system prefs panel for NDI Audio, those NDI sources may also be accessed. Notes: A stable WIFI connection, or a wired ethernet connection are required for smooth playback of NDI Audio Streams. Using a directional WIFI antenna and using the sweet spot of your wifi can help. If you experience glitching of audio, the problem is very likely a wifi connection which is insufficiently stable to support smooth NDI Audio to iOS - in this case please try a wired ethernet to lightning adaptor.
