Avid Media Composer 2022.4 and later supports streaming via SRT, meaning you can stream from Media Composer to a Louper room directly, without needing to use NDI in combination with LDE. A Media Composer Ultimate or Enterprise license is required to enable SRT output.

The bitrate settings in the Avid SRT plugin, even when set to Low, are excessively high and put undue pressure on the connections of all Louper participants.
