I looked into the NDI video, and it looks like a really simple barrier for entry. For example, I can just use an iphone to proof it out. The downside is that what /I/ want to do including the /hardware/ I want to use is not directly supported. iphone is great for proofing it out, but that's not ultimately what I want to do. I still want to try this, but it will take more experimentation.
- I decided on running my own streaming server (which OBS is not) in k8s.
- Point OBS at the RTSP stream url of the server to use as a media source
- Use OBS to stream wherever I want.
It's really easy to setup
Supports all my hardware
Be fully functionally right now.
How does it support all my hardware? Oh, I forgot about that. I got one of these.
It has 2 SIM slots for different providers. I signed up with tablet plans for t-mobile and verizon. This will allow me to do /unlimited/ data streaming as an RTSP client.

- Deploy RTSP server to k8s
- Connect using data transfer RTSP client
- Wire RTSP server as source for OBS
- I'm off to the races!
