Hi

I know the very very expensive EVS System. Also the Newtek product:
http://www.newtek.com/pr...s/3play-425-home-sm.html

and the product from : http://lgztech.com/lgz1-hd-sd

All this hardware solutions costs around 15'000 - 20'000 USD. Knows everyone
a cheaper hardware system?

Yes I know vmix has a integrated replay (SloMo) but my PC with Intel Core i7-4770K (3500) Quad Core
is not strong enough for works with 4 cam inputs and 3 replays. CPU is on 100%.

Should I upgrade my processor like for exemple Intel Xeon E5-2697V3: 14-Core with 4 cam inputs and 3 replays?

Thanks for replies.

Patrick

It's not only about CPU, but also graphic card, disk drives and capture card.

I just tested an i7-4790K PC with one SSD, not that new Radeon graphic card with 2 cameras 720p@50fps and 2 instant replay. The CPU usage wasn't bigger then 20% and the PC were recording and streaming.

I guess You should also wait for new vMix Instant Replay solution based on Multicorder http://forums.vmix.com.a....aspx?g=posts&t=2454

cool !

The set-up with a second PC needs a video hub like this:
https://www.blackmagicde...s/smartvideohub/workflow

to route 4 cams to the replay, right?

Then we have a the following process:

1. Four incoming cam inputs to the hub
2. Route 4 cams stream to pc1 for mixing and route the same 4 (or fewer) cam streams to pc2 for replays (does a second operator)
3. pc2 output of 2 (or more) replay streams to pc 1.
4. So we have in pc1 4 cammonitors and 2 replaymonitors to mix

On the end we have to have on pc1 6 (or more) inputs (hdmi or SDI).

Right?

Thanks for replies.

Thanks :)

Sure, it can be done like this. Quite elegant workflow. The only thing I don't understand is why You want to output 2 signals from replay machine (PC2) to PC1. One is not enough?

I see two different options, they have pros and cons.

OPTION 1 is with 2 PC-s and no video hub. Blackmagic Quad cards have a pass thru video outputs, so you can input 4 cameras to PC1 and output them to PC2.

OPTION 2 is one PC only with two operators: one is working with keyboard and mouse on replays and second does mixing (switching, lower 3rds etc...) with some external controller (MIDI device, laptop, tablet).
