Read full description

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.
