We have just bought vMix HD and are having problems with external FULL SCREEN display of output.
We have 4 displays in the sanctuary and two displays outside the sanctuary!
We a Jmc SC510 N4 4 HDMI capture card. Computer is a MSI X99S Windows 8.1, 32 GB RAM.
We could not get it to work. We downloaded vMix 4K version and then it worked.
But we did not want to spend more monies on software to get it to work.
Can someone else please help???!!!

vMix HD does not support External 2 Output, but you should be able to get External Output of your program out.
How are you feeding your external displays?


Ice

graphics card is perfect ! can handle up to 4 monitors.
activate full screen on a second monitor
and feed the displays using HDMI long cables or cat5 hdmi extenders.

full screen is the vmix output program, full screen on a second channel of the nvidia

activate full screen : Program option

will send you a photo later today to your email :)

2 screen monitors first one vmix software , second one vmix program output ( maximized on a second screen - full screen )

there you can use a hdmi distributor.... :)

I will recommend you to get a Graphicscard that supports the amount off screens you need to work on, plus 1. Like, you count all the TV's in the church as one. Then you take the "Outputscreen"-signal(which is the plus 1) and put it into a Splitter. Feks: HDMI splitter if you use HDMI out and then send the signal to all the TV's you need to send the signal to. This will take the video processing off the graphicscard and put it over to the splitter.

Hope you understand what i mean, and good luck!

Curt,

In my view the terminology concerning vMix's extremely flexible output is very confusing.
From my experience you have to connect all the necessary cables to the graphic card's outputs and then, using trial and error, find out what to set where. It's like exploring an unkwnown territory without a map. After a while you start understanding things...

Some things on the way:

Only vMix 4K support two Fullscreen (and in addition two External Output)

Fullscreens use the Graphics card's outputs

External Output needs dedicated video cards, such as Black Magic intensity Pro

Make sure all displays in Window's resolution settings are set to "Extended display"
(and preferably to the same resolution and frame rate as which you produce with in vMix).

Window's display numbers (those you see in the resolution settings) are NOT the same as vMix's display numbers.
(In vMix/Setting/Display, under the "Fullscreen" options.

If you replace one device (eg a particular model of one monitor) in the graphics cards output connector with another device (eg anoter model, or a scaler), then you have to check/change settings in both Window's and perhaps also vMix. And, as Martin notes in another topic, it is important to always set the refresh rate on all monitors to 60 Hz.

vMix HD worked well on my MSI laptop. Just plugged in to HDMI on laptop and changed settings to extend display in Windows 7 pro.
