Avoid sending more than one rendition

[zevarito]

I am looking for a way to disable the generation of a second (low) stream along with NDI output. I was looking at the plugin source code and reading NDI SDK docs (the PDF attached to the downloadable SDK) but couldn't find a way yet to do it through plugin documentation or patching the plugin source. Bellow are the reasons I can find it useful to implement:

• When choose to send an SD stream like 640x360, NDI Output produces a Low sample of it which is pretty much the same, so it becomes unnecessary in my opinion.

• When choose to send 4K, an SD rendition is also produced but it might be an unnecessary overhead for the CPU considering the cost of process 4K.

• In terms of Networking I think NDI will only send you the rendition you have requested, so shouldn't both renditions be sent simultaneously, unless than more than one host is requesting different renditions, that might be overkill for the Host I think.

I am just entering NDI world so this assumptions might be completely wrong, if so, please clarify to me what I am understanding wrong.

Thank you very much for your hard work with GST, it is very much appreciated.

Do you know which SDK API can be used to control this behaviour?
