G'day Kanep, thanks for that suggestion, I appreciate it, didnt know that tools existed. Handy as cheers!
Note, All PC's (HP z400 & AW m17r3) have 2.5GB and MAC 1GB network cards, PC's run at 1GB as I am using an TPLink AX6000 router w/ 1GBps LAN.
I also run ESET on both PCs, for good measure on PC-BB + PC-OBO I opend ports 5353, 5959-5969 based on these
intructions.
Using
SRT from aMAC to PC-BB and at same time
SRT from PC-BB to PC-OBO all the AV at 4000kbps works perfectly fine.
Connecting either PC-BB or PC-OBO NDI Studio Monitor to aMAC OBS NDI out I either get AV working fine or audio drops out, mainly drops out connecting from PC-OBO.
Odd thing is, on PC-BB running VMix, I also run NDI Studio Monitor and connect to (itself) PC-BB VMix Output, audio comes in then drops out again. If I then connect PC-BB to MAC running OBS with NDI out I get AV no probs.
Even more strange, If on PC-OBO running VMix and NDI Studio Monitor I connect to PC-OBO NDI AV works fine.
Then on PC-BB NDI Studio Monitor I connect to PC-OBO NDI Studio Monitor (the output from OBO Studio Montor) the AV works fine.
Strangest of all. PC-BB NDI Studio Monitor connected to PC-OBO Vmix output (AV fine). The on PC-OBO NDI Studio Monitor connected to PC-BB NDI Studio Monitor AV works fine. But PC-OBO NDI Studio Monitor connecting to PC-BB Vmix output Audio drops out.
It seems as though this is a VMix (NDI) problem, rather than an NDI Tools problem!
I hope the above is not as confusing as it was to test and write here.
