Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This item appears related to legitimate NDI video software components rather than a standard macOS service. It is generally low risk when intentionally installed with video or broadcast tools, but disabling it could affect NDI video output or related media integration features.
Recommendation: Keep it if you use NDI, broadcast, streaming, or video production tools that rely on NDI output. If you do not use such software, review the app that installed NDIVideoOut.plugin and consider disabling or removing that software through its normal uninstaller or settings rather than manually deleting system-level files.
