Hello Everyone,

What might be a solution for this Scenario...

vMix set up in a remote location -- everything controlled by NDI, including PTZ NDI enabled cameras -- all on one network. Very much like the vMix NDI studio described on this page: https://blog.vmix.com/vmix-ndi-studio/

The Camera switcher, probably an X-keys XKE-124 T-Bar USB Keyboard, might be controlling the studio cameras etc from across the country, or even the world, BTW, vMix Call, of course would be a key feature of this setup.

How might the Camera switching best be handled, since it would not be on the same network as the remote studio -- where the cameras, microphones, and talent are located. (Specifically the PTZ NDI cameras would be a key part of this setup -- but how to control PTZ within vMix from this remote location -- where the X-Keys switcher would be located.)

Thanks,

Rowby

Hi Rowby hope youre well

I'd say either ndi cloud and do the switching wherever you want to mix it from (I say casually)

or teamviewer in and control the onsite hardware (using whatever you like to triggering shortcuts on the onsite keyboard), but not to cut a sports production, and that'd be the least laggy most developed software to control remotely
- needs a failsafe if they determine you're using it for business it'll suddenly be a very expensive option but in a WinZip way if you get me (this probably won't happen)

Thanks, Barney.

I'm also just this morning following the updated posts on this forum about the possibilities of NDI over public network. https://forums.vmix.com/...aspx?g=posts&t=11770

Lots to learn -- which is great we can take so much advantage of the ever-emerging streaming technologies.

Seems only "yesterday" I was in the world of 2 inch analog video tape, where the editors were marking the tape with felt pen and editing either with razor blades and microscopes -- or manually between two enormous editing machines on the fly -- racing to get the edits completed in time to be ready for your reserved slot to "satellite" your show from California to New York -- barely in time to air on time that evening!

Use a VPN and your PTZ will work across the two sites just fine. Create custom output with all sources and PGM/PREVIEW into ONE output sent via vMix Call - then you're using one pipe for all cams (not one for each camera, which would likely be bandwidth-prohibitive). Scripting from remote machine to studio machine (both running vMix) will control cameras, etc. via XKeys or whatever.

It's a pretty big chore to set this up, but it can be done.

Check out link below.

Mobile studio integrated with main studio. All cameras available in production from both sites, talent can see all cameras at both sites, each site can control the other, etc. Took months to complete.
