OBSBOT UVC to NDI Adapter First Look

A first look at the brand new UVC Webcam to NDI Adapter from OBSBOT, paired up with a DJI Osmo Pocket 3. This adapter outputs NDI HX with either the h.264 or h.265 codec with a max bitrate of 40Mbit/s.

Not discussed in the video is the price of this device, which will likely turn away some potential buyers. At time of its release, the adapter is 300 US Dollars. That's more than most webcams cost. So this device only makes sense when paired with a higher-end webcam. OBSBOT's own Tiny 2 is approximately $330USD, which when paired with this adapter is slightly cheaper than the OBSBOT Tail Air with built-in NDI, but not by much.

At the time I posted this video, the Pocket 3 only supported 1080p resolution for webcam mode. Since then, DJI has released a firmware update that introduces 4k webcam resolution. I have tested it with the OBSBOT adapter, and it works as expected in 4k30.
