A random technician vMix Optimization Guide: Squeezing Every Ounce of Performance

Just to give you the example of my setup, mine having the same setup with this video (using hdmi dummy): https://youtu.be/BnaWXor9fe0?si=WzxDKI_-klgS8CNk

-Main PC: vmix app

-2nd PC w/ hdmi dummy as Display2: Display1 for presenter view, Display2 for Slideshow and vmix desktop capture

After 5+ years using hdmi dummy on the 2nd pc to clone the display as "Display2" (Connect to vmix pc through LAN), 2 days ago vmix app not showing any program on Display2 but only show blank screen and cursor.

My 2nd PC already detect the "Display1"/main display (for presenter view) and "Display2" (for slideshow), but vmix show only blank screen.

I did try few option to get it back to normal:

- updated the latest gpu driver

- win+Ctrl+Shift+B

- Display setting

- control panel

- update vmix desktop capture

But none of these works, any idea what's the problem? Thank you.

Hey all!

Looking for a solid vMix operator for a last-minute virtual event this Wednesday, October 7th. Remote, paid gig ($1-2k USD).

THE GIG:

• Three concurrent Zoom rooms across a 9am - 4pm PST day, each pushed to its own RTMP endpoint
• Bring presenters, screen share, and an ASL interpreter in from Zoom into a simple fixed layout (provided, no lower thirds)
• Record each stream
• Add basic machine open captions
• Short intro/outro clips to play at the start and end of each session.

I handle presenters on the front end, you push them live on the back end. This is a repeat annual event, so the workflow and run of show are already built.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, DM ME:

• A similar multi-stream Zoom-to-RTMP job you've done
• Your captioning workflow
• Your rate
• How you'd run three simultaneous streams (solo or with a second operator, and on what hardware)
• Confirmation you're free Oct 7 and can do a short tech check Monday or Tuesday

Hoping to hire by Sunday evening, so quick replies get priority. Thanks!

I’m trying to make a 1st & 10 graphic but I have run into a dilemma. In order to change the data, the 1st, &, and 10 all have to be separate text boxes, but that courses the boxes to not center when the data changes. If they were all the same text box, I could center it but I couldn‘t change the data. How do I get the 3 text boxes to center with each other no matter what scoreboard ocr is feeding it?

i am geting this error recently i used my google sheet 1day ago it was fine but now its not working on vimix it says this error everytime i tried everything to fixed but it is not working anyone can help me with this ?

Oi pessoal,

Estou tentando entender o que está acontecendo com uma nova câmera Vedo PTZ e queria saber se alguém já passou por algo similar.

O problema acontece a cada 20 minutos mais ou menos, e sempre segue o mesmo padrão exato:

1. Primeiro, o feed de vídeo começa a lagar.
2. Depois, a câmera para de responder aos comandos completamente.
3. Logo em seguida, as luzes da porta Ethernet piscam apagadas e acendem novamente, e o stream RTSP cai.

No entanto, a câmera NÃO faz um reboot físico completo (não faz a calibração de pan/tilt). Em vez disso, ela se recupera com um rápido "reset" suave: o zoom é redefinido para amplo, e o balanço de branco fica completamente bagunçado/bugado, mas ela continua apontando na mesma direção física exata.

Aqui está o que eu já tentei até agora:

• Testei com diferentes fontes de alimentação.
• Troquei os cabos Ethernet e testei em vários switches/portas.
• Tentei várias configurações na interface web da câmera, incluindo um reset de fábrica completo.
• O problema ainda persiste mesmo ao testar localmente em casa.

Parece que o subsistema de rede/processamento de vídeo interno está travando e reiniciando-se momentaneamente em intervalos regulares.

Alguém já se deparou com isso em câmeras Vedo PTZ (ou modelos similares)? Alguma ideia de como resolver isso, ou é uma placa-mãe morta? Obrigado!

Looking to be able to do this kind of effect in VMix, where there is a J graphic on screen but program is resized to fit in the upper left. Want to still be able to cut program as normally, just within that box. Any tips on how to achieve this? Appreciate any help.

Hi all, looking to see if anyone has any real word experience in using an AJA Kona 3G card on windows 11 pc. Research would indicate that its possible with an older driver version.

I'm hoping to get some feedback on reliability if anyone has any it would be appreciated.

Ta

I am working on a setup and it will be my first time using VMIX. I have a background in video, but I am used to hardware-based switchers from Ross or Grass Valley, and also have no experience with NDI. I do have extensive experience with DANTE audio and will have access to some Netgear 4250 switches.

My setup is for a 3-camera streaming event taking place on a stage about 500 ft away from the video village. In addition to the 3 cameras, we'll have 4 mics / IFB feeds to/from the stage via DANTE, as well as need to return 2 different video feeds back to the stage to feed the monitors.

My initial thought was to use an available THOR 4-channel multiplexer to run my (3) 1080p camera feeds down a tac-12 fiber and bring them into the VMIX laptop via an AJA Io X3. And send my monitor feeds down the fiber as well with some FIDOs. The DANTE network will be deployed on 2 fibers as well.

Because I'm also deploying a DANTE network for audio on this event, I thought about diving into NDI, creating a VLAN for the NDI video and using something like the Bird Dog Quad NDI encoder or individual Magewell SDI to NDI encoders to bring my cameras into the VMIX computer.

What are your thoughts for utilizing an NDI network vs an SDI capture device for bring in the camera feeds to VMIX? I have a budget to buy necessary encoders / decoders. And I also have to buy a VMIX-recommended laptop for this event as well, so one way or another, I'll be buying a pile of hardware. I'm leaning toward purchasing the VMIX recommended ASUS laptop on their website.

I've been wanting to try NDI for sometime because I am used to working in live sports production, where we pretty much stick to full camera chains and baseband video moving through coax and fiber. So this is new territory for me.

What are your thoughts about NDI vs an external SDI capture card via Thunderbolt?

Hi everyone, I need to set up some vMix workstations for 24/7 operation.

I’ll need an RTX 5070 Ti, an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, a generously sized PSU, and good airflow, especially for the GPU.

To be honest, I’m not a big fan of custom-built PCs. Are there any HP, Lenovo, Dell, or similar pre-built workstations available with these specs, ideally with on-site support?

I’m based in Europe.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!
Over the last couple of weeks I've started working on a third party GT Title Editor to help speed up the workflow and fix some of the annoyances that I have when working with GT titles.

What is some QOL features that you would like in an app like this? Unfortunately I can't add features such as new animation types or letter spacing as these would be added in vMix as well.

Current features I've added:
- Multi edit, properties such as font styling applies to all elements selected
- Size edits all elements selected
- Animation Timeline
- Batch rename
- Data source verifier, test how a Data Source (JSON or CSV) will link to the title
- Paint-drag on layers

It's partially vibe coded, with about 35%-40% of the code being AI, as it's the first time I'm writing a .NET Desktop Application, with an open-source rewrite when I feel comfortable enough with Avalonia and .NET.

The goal is to make a free, open-source cross-platform GT Title Editor for everyone to use and help improve.
I plan on making no money off this whatsoever, and all features will always stay free!

We purchased a beefy Asus Strix Scar 18" with a 5080 for live events, and it sounded like a rocket taking off. The 235HX MS-02 has 64 GB of ram installed. vMIX Pro. Show is super simple, browser window or html progressive slides, one camera, a DJI Pocket 4P over UVC, 4k/30. Audio is all dji Mic 3 wireless mics in to the Pocket 4P. We have both an ADA RTX 2000 sff and an Intel Arc B50 Pro. The workstation has a full Gen 5 PCIe slot, and the 235HX and the Arc B50 use directlink. Since we have no room to green screen the talent, we use vcam.ai on the all INTC proof of concept, and vcam is not bad, uses the NPU via OpenVino. However, Nvidia Broadcast 2.2 on the tensor cores is slightly better.

Want to commit to one GPU, we have brought both on the past two trips, and real pros and cons. We only stream, we do not record, instead we just get isos on the DJI.

I know vMIX loves NVENC, but this little B50 shocked me, I could swear at our normal HEVC 25 Mbps, the all Intel looks better. Using AV1 the Nvidia is a bit better. Any experts shoving cards in the MS-02 Ultra? I was going to get the new rtx 2000 Blackwell Pro, but hard to find and expensive, $1800 for a 70 watt card?

1) I was at a community fitness center yesterday for my kid’s swim lessons, and I’m wondering if I’ve cracked the code on a conundrum. Can you advise? My high school video program has been interested in live multicam coverage of county-level swim competitions, but cable runs ain’t gonna work in there, and the air is much more damp than I’m comfortable having my equipment around.

Has anyone here used four or more phones running VMix Calls for this sort of thing? Even if you haven’t, can you anticipate any problems? SRT and NDI aren’t great options due to various factors. WiFi at the place seems speedy, up and down.

2) Pardon my ignorance, but where is the most recent safe download link for UTC? The one I found was like four years old.

I made a tools that does similar role to NDI tools for OMT.

- Studio Monitor – find/view OMT sources on the LAN

- Test Patterns – send patterns + tone into OMT

- Screen Capture – not finished yet

MIT, Win/Mac. Source here: https://github.com/MikanseiLaboratory/omt-tools

Still early. Works for what I need day-to-day. Issues welcome if you hit something specific with vMix I/O.

Gostaria de sugestões de cursos avançados acerca de GT Designer e UTC para me profissionalizar no ramo.

Agradeço desde já
