vMix HD Live Production Software License

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 a dedicated GPU can support about eight HD sources

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 HD 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.

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.

Previously recorded footage can be treated as an input source. Supported file types include AVI, MP4, H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, and QuickTime.

DRM-free DVD content can be incorporated into the program feed, complete with menu navigation.

Use sound cues, music tracks, and other aural elements to spice up your production. vMix plays back MP3 and WAV files.

Not only for virtual sets, but you can also use the keyer to introduce background elements of your own creation—a weather map, for example.

Easily add and edit a title or scoreboard from the many built-in templates, or build your own using any graphics or vector editing software. Adjust text, font size, and color. Alterations update in real-time.

Color correct, deinterlace, sharpen, zoom, rotate, pan, and Crop any input in real-time. All effects are processed in 4:4:4 32-bit color space for optimal video quality.

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 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.

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.

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. A VU Meter with a peaking display helps ensure each input’s level stays within acceptable broadcast limits.
