+ # Grandi
2
+ Grandi is a TypeScript-first native Node.js binding for NewTek NDI™ 6. It exposes the full NDI 6 SDK surface area through a Promise-based API, providing strongly typed helpers for sending and receiving professional video, audio, metadata, and tally data from Node.js applications. For more information on NDI™ , see <https://www.ndi.tv/>.
3
+
4
+ ## Why this fork?
5
+ Grandi is a maintained fork of [Streampunk Grandiose](https://github.com/Streampunk/grandiose). The original `steampunk/grandiose` repository and the corresponding `grandiose` package on npm have not been updated since 2023, and major functionality such as data sending never landed upstream. This fork modernizes the build, rewrites the bindings in TypeScript, and delivers the outstanding features required for production projects while keeping a familiar API. Meaningful contributions were also carried forward from community forks:
6
+
7
+ - TypeScript-focused rewrite with complete binding coverage.
8
+ - Improved NDI SDK handling (versioning, download/packaging, and portability improvements).
9
+ - Added utilities to make common workflows easier.
10
+ - Audio frame sending support from the [rse/grandiose](https://github.com/rse/grandiose) fork.
11
+ - Ad-hoc download of NDI SDK assets.
12
+ - Portability fixes for Windows, macOS, and Linux drawn from multiple forks.
13
+ - Sender, routing, and type-definition improvements from [ianshade/grandiose](https://github.com/ianshade/grandiose) and [hopejr/grandiose](https://github.com/hopejr/grandiose).
14
+
15
+ ## Why “Grandi”?
16
+
17
+ NDI™ was conceived as a grand vision for IP media transport. The earliest bindings leaned into that idea with the tongue‑in‑cheek name “gra‑NDI‑ose”. **Grandi** preserves the homage: it nods to “[grandiose](https://github.com/Streampunk/grandiose)”, itself drawn from the French word *grandi* (“grown”).
18
+
19
+ ## Capabilities
20
+ - Native NDI™ 6 bindings written in modern TypeScript with out-of-the-box type definitions.
21
+ - Send and receive video, audio, metadata, and tally (program/preview) data streams.
22
+ - Promise-based API that keeps heavy lifting off the Node.js event loop.
23
+ - Helpers for working with choice of color formats, bandwidth limits, and audio layouts.
24
+ - Finder utilities for discovering sources on the local network or specified subnets.
25
+ - Built-in routing helpers for switching NDI sources without dropping frames.
26
+
27
+ ### Missing & future work
28
+ - PTZ camera control APIs introduced in newer NDI SDK releases are not exposed yet.
29
+ - NDI receiver discovery (added in SDK v6.2) still needs bindings; today only sender discovery is available.
30
+ - Pull requests tackling these gaps (or other NDI 6.x+ features) are very welcome.
31
+
32
+ ## Supported platforms
33
+ Grandi currently ships prebuilt binaries for the same platforms supported by the original project. Additional platforms can be compiled from source if the NDI SDK supports them.
34
+
35
+ | Operating system | Architectures | Status | Notes |
36
+ | --- | --- | --- | --- |
37
+ | Windows | x86, x64 | ✅ Prebuilt | Visual Studio 2013 C runtime only needed when building locally; prebuilt binaries include the required DLLs. |
38
+ | macOS | Universal (x64 + arm64) | ✅ Prebuilt | Ships with the official universal NDI™ driver, so Intel and Apple Silicon hosts run natively. |
39
+ | Linux | x86, x64, armv7l, arm64 | ✅ Prebuilt | Built against the glibc-based NDI™ SDK; requires `libavahi-common.so.3`, `libavahi-client.so.3`, and the `avahi-daemon` service. |
40
+
41
+ ## Installation
42
+ Install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) for your platform (tested against the current Long Term Support release). Then add the dependency to your project:
43
+
44
+ ```bash
45
+ npm install grandi
46
+ # or
47
+ pnpm add grandi
48
+ # or
49
+ yarn add grandi
50
+ ```
51
+
52
+ On Windows, you only need the Visual Studio 2013 C run-times when building from source (e.g., running `npm install` without matching prebuilds). You can grab them from <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784>, but end users consuming the published prebuilt binaries do **not** need to install them.
53
+
54
+ Grandi is designed to be `require`d or `import`ed from your own applications:
55
+
56
+ ```typescript
57
+ import grandi from "grandi";
58
+ // or
59
+ const grandi = require("grandi");
60
+ ```
61
+
62
+ ## Build & distribution
63
+ The project uses [prebuildify](https://github.com/prebuild/prebuildify) to prebuild the Node.js addon and bundle the NDI SDK libraries for the supported targets shown above. Those prebuilds are resolved at runtime via [node-gyp-build](https://github.com/prebuild/node-gyp-build), so consumers do not need a compiler toolchain in most cases. When no prebuild matches the running platform, `node-gyp-build` falls back to compiling locally, letting advanced users add additional architectures.
64
+
65
+ ## Using Grandi
66
+ This module allows a Node.js program to find, receive, and send NDI™ video, audio, metadata, and tally streams over IP networks. All calls are asynchronous and use JavaScript promises with all of the underlying work of NDI running on separate threads from the event loop. The following sections recap the most common workflows; for complete runnable demos, see `examples/simple-receiver.mjs` and `examples/simple-sender.mjs`.
67
+
68
+ ### Finding streams
69
+ `grandi.find` resolves to a finder handle that can block for network updates and expose the discovered sources:
70
+
71
+ ```javascript
72
+ import { setTimeout as sleep } from "node:timers/promises";
73
+ import grandi from "grandi";
74
+
75
+ async function pickSource() {
76
+ const finder = await grandi.find({ showLocalSources: true });
77
+ try {
78
+ for (let attempts = 0; attempts < 20; attempts++) {
79
+ finder.wait(250); // block for up to 250 ms of new announcements
80
+ const sources = finder.sources();
81
+ if (sources.length > 0) return sources[0];
82
+ await sleep(250);
83
+ }
84
+ throw new Error("No NDI sources found on the network.");
85
+ } finally {
86
+ finder.destroy();
87
+ }
88
+ }
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ `find` accepts a single options object. Common filters:
92
+
93
+ ```javascript
94
+ await grandi.find({
95
+ showLocalSources: true, // include sources on the same machine
96
+ groups: "studio3", // comma-separated list of group names
97
+ extraIPs: "192.168.1.122,mixer.local", // comma-separated IPs/hosts outside mDNS
98
+ });
99
+ ```
100
+
101
+ ### Receiving streams
102
+ First, find a stream or construct a `Source` object:
103
+
104
+ ```javascript
105
+ const grandi = require("grandi");
106
+ const source = { name: "<source_name>", urlAddress: "<ip>:<port>" };
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ Create a receiver:
110
+
111
+ ```javascript
112
+ const receiver = await grandi.receive({ source });
113
+ ```
114
+
115
+ Example receiver object:
116
+
117
+ ```javascript
118
+ {
119
+ embedded: [External],
120
+ video: [Function],
121
+ audio: [Function],
122
+ metadata: [Function],
123
+ data: [Function],
124
+ source: { name: "LEMARR (Test Pattern)", urlAddress: "169.254.82.1:5961" },
125
+ colorFormat: 100, // grandi.COLOR_FORMAT_FASTEST
126
+ bandwidth: 100, // grandi.BANDWIDTH_HIGHEST
127
+ allowVideoFields: true
128
+ }
129
+ ```
130
+
131
+ Configure receivers via options:
132
+
133
+ ```javascript
134
+ const receiver = await grandi.receive({
135
+ source,
136
+ colorFormat: grandi.COLOR_FORMAT_UYVY_RGBA,
137
+ bandwidth: grandi.BANDWIDTH_AUDIO_ONLY,
138
+ allowVideoFields: true,
139
+ name: "rooftop"
140
+ });
141
+
142
+ ```
143
+
144
+ #### Video
145
+
146
+ ```javascript
147
+ const timeout = 5000;
148
+ try {
149
+ for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
150
+ const frame = await receiver.video(timeout);
151
+ console.log(frame);
152
+ }
153
+ } catch (err) {
154
+ console.error(err);
155
+ }
156
+ ```
157
+
158
+ Example frame:
159
+
160
+ ```javascript
161
+ {
162
+ type: "video",
163
+ xres: 1920,
164

220
+ } else if (payload.type === "metadata") {
221
+ console.log(payload.data);
222
+ }
223
+ ```
224
+
225
+ ### Sending streams
226
+ Sending is fully supported. Call `grandi.send` with a `SendOptions` object to create a `Sender` instance capable of video, audio, metadata, and tally interactions:
227
+
228
+ ```javascript
229
+ const sender = await grandi.send({
230
+ name: "grandi-demo",
231
+ groups: "studio3",
232
+ clockVideo: true,
233
+ clockAudio: true
234
+ });
235
+
236
+ const timecode = process.hrtime.bigint() / 100n;
237
+ const timestampNs = process.hrtime.bigint();
238
+ const timestamp = [
239
+ Number(timestampNs / 1_000_000_000n),
240
+ Number(timestampNs % 1_000_000_000n),
241
+ ];
242
+
243
+ // Prepare frame payloads (see examples/simple-sender.mjs for helpers)
244
+
245
+ await sender.video({
246
+ xres: 1280,
247
+ yres: 720,
248
+ frameRateN: 30,
249
+ frameRateD: 1,
250
+ pictureAspectRatio: 16 / 9,
251
+ frameFormatType: grandi.FORMAT_TYPE_PROGRESSIVE,
252
+ lineStrideBytes: 1280 * 4,
253
+ data: whiteBuffer, // BGRA pixels
254
+ fourCC: grandi.FOURCC_BGRA,
255
+ timecode,
256
+ timestamp,
257
+ });
258
+
259
+ await sender.audio({
260
+ sampleRate: 48_000,
261
+ noChannels: 2,
262
+ noSamples: 1600,
263
+ channelStrideBytes: 1600 * 4,
264
+ data: silentAudioBuffer,
265
+ fourCC: grandi.FOURCC_FLTp,
266
+ timecode,
267
+ timestamp,
268
+ });
269
+
270
+ # Example metadata, that explicitly enable hardware acceleration in receiver
271
+ sender.metadata("<ndi_video_codec type=\"hardware\"/>");
272
+
273
+ const tally = sender.tally();
274
+ console.log(tally.on_program, tally.on_preview);
275
+ ```
276
+
277
+ Destroy senders and receivers explicitly when finished to release NDI resources.
278
+
279
+ ### Other helpers
280
+ - `grandi.version()` returns the NDI SDK version string (e.g. `NDI SDK LINUX 10:24:11 Aug 21 2025 6.2.1.0`).
281
+ - `grandi.isSupportedCPU()` checks whether the host CPU can run the NDI SDK.
282
+ - `grandi.initialize()` / `grandi.destroy()` control the lifetime of the underlying library in advanced scenarios.
283
+
284
+ ## Contributing
285
+ Ready to hack on Grandi? Here’s the typical workflow.
286
+
287
+ 1. **Install prerequisites**
288
+ - Node.js ≥ 20.19.5 and a working C/C++ toolchain for your platform.
289
+ - Git LFS is *not* required; the NDI SDK is fetched dynamically.
290
+ 2. **Download the NDI SDK + install deps**
291
+ - Run `npm install` (or `pnpm install`/`yarn install`). The `scripts/preinstall.mjs` hook downloads and unpacks the official NDI SDK into `ndi/`, then `node-gyp-build` compiles the native addon for your host platform. Re-run `npm install` after deleting `ndi/` if you need to refresh the SDK.
292
+ - To force-download all prebuild assets for release testing, run `npm run prebuild:download`.
293
+ - Set `NDI_FORCE=1` if you need to run the downloader in an unpacked tarball (normally it only runs inside the git repo).
294
+ 3. **TypeScript build**
295
+ - `npm run build` compiles `src/` via `tsdown`, emitting ESM/CJS bundles and declaration files in `dist/`.
296
+ - `npm run prebuild` packages native binaries for distribution (requires the SDK assets fetched earlier).
297
+ 4. **Native addon rebuild**
298
+ - If you change C/C++ files under `lib/`, recompile with `npx node-gyp-build` (or simply re-run `npm install`). This uses the same loader that consumers invoke at runtime.
299
+ 5. **Testing**
300
+ - `npm test` runs the full Vitest suite (unit + integration stubs).
301
+ - `npm run test:unit` focuses on pure JS/TS tests.
302
+ - `RUN_NDI_TESTS=1 npm run test:integration` exercises the native bindings against a real NDI environment; ensure you have available senders/receivers before running.
303
+ - `npm run test:coverage` provides coverage data via `@vitest/coverage-v8`.
304
+ 6. **Linting & formatting**
305
+ - `npm run lint` / `npm run format` cover the TypeScript/JavaScript sources via Biome.
306
+ - `npm run format:cpp` formats the native sources with `clang-format`.
307
+ 7. **Manual verification**
308
+ - `node examples/simple-sender.mjs` and `node examples/simple-receiver.mjs` are quick smoke tests for the send/receive API.
309
+ - Use `NDI_FORCE=1 npm install` if you need to reassemble the NDI SDK artifacts even when they are already present.
310
+
311
+ Before opening a pull request, make sure the linter, formatter, and tests all pass, and include context for any platform-specific considerations (e.g., SDK versions, OS dependencies).

313
+ ## API reference
314
+ This section documents every exported method and type surfaced by the module. Refer to `src/index.ts` and `src/types.ts` for authoritative definitions.
315
+
316
+ ### Module exports
317
+ - `find(options?: FindOptions): Promise<Finder>` — discover available NDI sources, optionally filtering by groups, local visibility, or explicit IPs. Resolves to a finder handle whose `sources()` method returns the latest snapshot.
318
+ - `receive(options: ReceiveOptions): Promise<Receiver>` — create a receiver bound to a specific `Source`. Customize color format, bandwidth caps, interlaced support, and a friendly name.
319
+ - `send(options: SendOptions): Promise<Sender>` — create a sender that can push video, audio, metadata, and tally updates into the NDI network.
320
+ - `routing(params: { name?: string; groups?: string }): Promise<Routing>` — build an NDI router that can switch downstream destinations to new sources via `routing.change`.
321
+ - `initialize(): boolean` / `destroy(): boolean` — manually initialize or tear down the shared NDI state. Automatically handled when using `send`/`receive`, but exposed for completeness.
322
+ - `version(): string` — report the bundled NDI SDK version.
323
+ - `isSupportedCPU(): boolean` — guard call that reports whether the host CPU meets the NDI SDK requirements.
324
+ - Enum exports: `ColorFormat`, `AudioFormat`, `Bandwidth`, `FrameType`, `FourCC`.
325
+ - Default export: the `grandi` object containing the methods above plus constant aliases such as `COLOR_FORMAT_FASTEST`, `BANDWIDTH_HIGHEST`, etc.
326

+ - `audio(optionsOrTimeout?: AudioReceiveOptions | number, timeoutMs?: number): Promise<ReceivedAudioFrame>` — fetch audio, optionally overriding format or reference level per call.
332
+ - `metadata(timeoutMs?: number): Promise<ReceivedMetadataFrame>` — resolve metadata frames (strings, typically XML).
333
+ - `data(optionsOrTimeout?: AudioReceiveOptions | number, timeoutMs?: number): Promise<ReceiverDataFrame>` — return whichever payload (video, audio, metadata, source change, status change) arrives first.
334
+ - `tally(state: ReceiverTallyState): boolean` — push tally states (program/preview) upstream to the sender.
335

355
+ - `destroy(): boolean` — cleanly shut down.
356
+
357
+ ### Finder interface
