Instead of setting up my backup VJ laptop just to view an NDI stream on the "management" TV and couch setup during artist rehearsals—which felt like overkill—I revisited my Raspberry Pi 4 project. I originally chose the Pi 4 for its composite output to drive a CRT array that never materialized.
I decided to test out Dicaffeine again, and great news: it works flawlessly! If you're considering this setup, I highly recommend starting with a fresh Raspberry Pi OS image and following the installation instructions carefully. I had to use the NDI-HX option to get everything running smoothly.
I'm really pleased this solution still holds up. I was contemplating alternatives like the mixed reviews on the Apple TV NDI App or snagging a Birddog Play on eBay. Hopefully, this helps enhance your Resolume setup—it's compact enough to toss into your gig bag!
