I am using the iPad version of Tagtool and have enabled Start NDI Server.

I connected the iPad and desktop(Window 11) directly via Ethernet cable.  
Both devices are set to the 10.0.0.X IP range with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

I verified the connection by checking the Ethernet IP addresses and successfully pinged both the desktop and the iPad from the command prompt.

I also allowed all NDI-related programs through the Windows firewall.

However, I still cannot find Tagtool in NDI Studio Monitor.

Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue?

Thank you.

Hello,

When your devices are connected to the same network, you should see **Tagtool – localhost** appear in the NDI Monitor.

Please note that NDI typically requires a proper network connection via a router or switch. Connecting an iPad directly to a PC may not work reliably.

Alternatively, you can connect to the Tagtool Desktop over your local network by entering the PC’s IP address.
