BPMediaNode Desktop

BPMediaNode Desktop is a standalone desktop media router for NDI / OMT / streams / AirPlay / Cast on Windows and macOS. It pairs cleanly with BPShowServer when you want Interactives and WebRTC on the same show — that is an advantage, not a requirement to start.

Also on the box: multi-instance manager, HTTP /v1 + optional OSC, and NDI PTZ when the source supports it.

Better with BPShowServer

When you want the same show graph:

  • Open Interactive displays (bpshow-interactive / Open in MediaNode) with GPU Chromium + real BGRA alpha → NDI / OMT
  • WebRTC contribute / pull ShowServer WebRTC sources
  • Interactives Status launch and shared auth
