I'm setting up a studio using vMIX as an NDI aggrogator (taking different SDI, HTML, camera and PTZ feeds in and rerouting it out via NDI to a larger confidence monitoring network). Using so many inputs means that I need communicate to everyone using the NDI network what the output names for vMIX are, which as you can imagine is a real pain. I think that adding a feature where you can rename vMIX's NDI outputs from something other than"vmix - output 1" etc or the camera name, in my case it's "decklink K pro (1) 1". That would help out so much as at the moment I'm having to create a cheat sheet for the random NDI signal names for unformillar users where having the sources labelled with that's inside the feed would make everything a lot easier.

Thanks

I asked for that many years ago https://forums.vmix.com/posts/t6110-Use-operator-defined-Input-names-for-NDI-Outputs. Have not been implemented.

Luckily, you can nowadays instead use https://ndi.video/tools/ndi-router-mac/ (works with windows too) or https://www.ndistuff.uk/...ndi-router-remote-panel/ to rename NDI sources.

Thanks for the inside word on the ZEN Router Richard. I'll check it out. I was trying to use the native NDI router but as it was still populating with the og vMIX outputs and camera names it just made it messier so I kind of steared away.

Have you checked if https://ndi.video/tools/ndi-access-manager-mac/ can be used to clean up the clutter?
