Recordings of the live stream show dropped frames. Is it valid to say this is due to a slow PC? Or could a slow Internet connection also cause the recording to show dropped frames?

I'm asking to decide whether to upgrade our laptop which has a i7 7700HQ CPU from 2016.

We have 2 Bird Dog PTZ using a PoE switch with full NDI, and a HDMI converted to USB for the 3rd camera. All inputs are HD1080. Stream is HD720 at 750k.

Internet connection is wired and should have 50mb upload, and streaming from other laptops are good.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi. You can check when you do your show your vmix render time and cpu/gpu usage. If it is high this can cause to drop frames. Other reason to drop frames is slow storage drive that cannot support your record bandwidth. Also you can check these vmix help articles and see if anything is your occasion and try to do the proper solution https://www.vmix.com/kno...nosing-high-render-times and https://www.vmix.com/kno...2/optimising-performance

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^

Plus...

FYI, your internet connection is not likely to cause dropped frames.

And, 750k is really low for 720p. Try 2.5Mb.
