The multifunction 4K Live Production, Streaming & Mixing Software from vMixcan switch between multiple HD or 4K sourcesthe maximum number depending on the limitations of the computer, its GPU, and the video capture hardware installed. It can stream a live program feed out to the web over RTMP, RTSP, or Flash and can also record locally at up to HD resolution in AVI, MP4, MPEG-2 or WMV. If a video output is available, it can send out a full-quality program feed for local presentation or recording separately.

Capable of more than just basic switching, effects and chroma keying are also built-in. You can add titles, incorporate virtual sets, or apply templates to give productions network-worthy results. An instant replay feature allows you to save notable moments for replay later. Slow motion up to 400% can even be applied. This version of the software also includes the vMix Call feature, which allows you to add up to four remote guests to your production who are connecting with a web browser on Mac or Windows or with iOS or Android devices. vMix Call features include NDI support, return video/audio for each guest up to 1080p, encryption, selectable outputs, and audio mixing.

There is a built-in audio mixer so you won’t have to rely on a separate hardware mixer. Audio can be sourced via embedded audio, the capture device’s audio inputs, through a separate audio interface, or even be played from a pre-recorded audio file.

vMix Live Production software runs on Windows and works with a variety of video capture and I/O devices, including models from Blackmagic Design, Matrox, AJA, and more.

Supports Live and Virtual Input Sources Virtually Unlimited Number of Input Sources Supported The software supports up to 1000 sources, including virtual as well as hardware sources. In practice, the total number will depend on the limitations of your computer, GPU, and capture hardware. An average workstation configuration with dedicated GPU can support about eight HD (or two 4K) sources Camera Use a video I/O card such as a Blackmagic or AJA product to capture from a live camera or external video feed. Up to 4K resolution is supported, depending on the limitations of the card and computer hardware.

FireWire (HDV/DV) capture is also supported; however, there will be a significant delay. Remote Screen Capture Use the desktop from a Mac or Windows computer connected to the same network as a computer running vMix as a virtual input. Ideal for PowerPoint and Skype.

Note: Audio Capture support for Skype and other videoconferencing software is available under Windows 7. Play from Files Previously recorded footage can be treated as an input source. Supported file types include AVI, MP4, H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, and QuickTime. DVDs DRM-free DVD content can be incorporated into the program feed, complete with menu navigation. Audio Files Use sound cues, music tracks, and other aural elements to spice up your production. vMix plays back MP3 and WAV files. External Audio Use the audio accompanying your video, a separate audio interface, or your computer’s sound card to capture live sound. Video and Audio Playlists Combine multiple video and audio files into a bundle that will play on a single input channel. Other Supported Media In addition to audio and video, vMix supports PowerPoint, photos and other still image graphics, solid colors, and more. Live Web Streaming Streaming Protocols For compatibility with most CDNs (content delivery networks), vMix supports RTSP, RTMP, and Flash. Stream to your favorite streaming providers, including UStream and YouTube Live. Virtual Capture Enables streaming to third-party software such as Skype, Google Hangouts, and VLC. Record While You Stream Record your programs in Full HD to AVI, MP4, MPEG-2, or WMV. MultiCorder Provides the ability to record the raw video and audio from capture inputs to separate files in addition to the main vMix recording. This feature is also known as ISO recording. Output Locally Output the program feed via a compatible video I/O card for monitoring, presentation to a local audience, or to use a separate video recorder. Additionally, unique to the 4K version, you can send a second feed along with the main output. You can a choose program, preview, multiview, or from one of two inputs. Video Delay / Instant Replay

All effects are processed in 4:4:4 32-bit color space for optimal video quality. Multiview Combine two or more inputs in one image using a selection of multiview presets. For example, create a side-by-side between the studio anchor and a reporter in the field. You can customize the position of each element with provided zoom, pan, rotate, and crop controls. Four Overlay Channels Four overlay channels allow you to add graphic elements such as logo bugs or station indents. Each overlay channel can have its own transition effect, position, and border. User Interface Touchscreen Web Interface Control vMix remotely using your Microsoft Surface, Apple iPad, Android tablet, or other touchscreen device using the built-in web interface. Customizable shortcut buttons can also be created to activate common production scenarios. Other Features Built-In Audio Mixer The Audio Mixer allows you to keep track of all audio sources and includes the ability to mute, follow (with auto mixing), and delay any source.
