Use case
I have a studio setup where a TV screen displays a remote guest (from Zoom or similar).
In my main camera shot, both the in-studio talent and that TV screen are visible in the same frame.

Inside vMix:
  • I capture the Zoom feed directly

  • This same capture is sent back out from vMix to the TV screen in the studio.

  • The camera then films the TV screen with the guest on it.


Problem
To properly sync the guest image:
  • The image filmed from the TV (through camera → capture → vMix) has natural latency.

  • The direct screen capture inside vMix has much less latency.

To make everything look synchronized in the final program feed, I need to delay the direct screen capture so it matches what the camera sees on the TV.

However:
  • The TV in the studio must receive the non-delayed version of the guest.

  • The Program output must use the delayed version for sync.

Currently, this requires duplicating inputs or complex routing, and there is no simple way to apply different delay values to the same source used in different destinations.

Requested feature
Add the ability to create multiple instances of the same input (aka virtual) with independent video delay settings, or allow per-output delay control for an input.

Benefits
  • Proper sync between in-studio screens and direct digital sources

  • Cleaner workflow for hybrid/remote productions

  • No need for external delay hardware or complex routing

  • Especially useful for talk shows, podcasts, and live productions with in-studio displays
