There is no manual data rate adjustment for NDI. NDI is a variable bit rate and overall bandwidth depends on resolution, frame rate and video content. He was also working at 720p30, which would be a lower data rate than working at 1080i/p (which can peak at 100Mbits, but probably runs more in the 40 to 70Mbit range).

Personally, I would worry about a 10Mbit pipe for this, it might work at times, but I would want more headroom than that.

Games can only be captured with the new desktop capture and only on Windows 8.1 or higher, not Windows 7.
Also the old desktop capture will not work anymore as the new NDI based one is better in pretty much every way including low latency.

For MultView you can only ever crop the original source inputs, you can't crop a "multiview" consisting of multiple elements.

Hello.

If Start External Output is enabled in Settings->Options then vMix should not ask user to disconnect external output when a preset is loaded.

The "Check for updates on startup" (Settings --> About) does not appear to be working.

Did I missing something?

Hi everybody,

regarding Audio, new Channel Mixer (waited long time, thanks Martin!):
Running a Decklink Quad 2, can only get video&audio if I select "Decklink Quad (1)" from camera input drop down menu. It then defaults the audio source - which leads to only the first 2 channels.
If I select "Decklink Video Capture (1)", I can choose "Decklink Audio Capture (1)" for the audio and how many audio channels I want (1,2,4,8,16). But I get no audio at all.

Do I miss something?


Cheers

Jens

As per this page:

http://www.vmix.com/ndi/

"Intel or AMD processor supporting SSE3 or higher (This includes nearly all i5 and i7 processors released since around 2005)"

If the cpu supports that try installing vMix Desktop Capture with the full vMix 17 install to see if maybe some extra dlls are needed.

was able to install vMix on it (not run it ) and desktopcature is able to run , tells me even there are connections but is just blak screen to choose from (Display1).

guess to old of a laptop

Would it be an option/possibility (suggestion) to be still able to run old type of screencapture (none NDI/NO video) or pointless ?
(often capture textinfo from other laptop at event, bit hard to tell them theirs is outdated or have to find out the hard way at last moment)

Good thought here Martin. I had the same issue as the others are reporting last night on our stadium production system. The source PC was a Dell i3. Desktop Capture would not work at first so I installed the NDI Tools as a sanity check, ran Scan Convertor which then asked to open a number of ports in the firewall. I opened both the intranet and Public ports. Immediately vMix recognised the PC and inputs. Now I re-ran vMix Desktop capture, which now asked again to open the ports (This had happened first time I tried to run it as well). I opened all ports and bingo. All good.

In most of my testing of NDI the black input screens and/or lack of NDI inputs usually come back to firewall issues. Also I turn on at least one of the NDI options on vMIx, and reboot the computer to ensure that vMix is receiving NDI input before attempting to bring in other sources.

The NDI Tools- Test Patterns is a great tool to ensure that the source computer is transmitting. It sends both video and audio streams.
