We build 4 road cases each containing a rack mounted PC running vMix HD for our 2016 season. Using the API to interface with our field system allowed up to 4 events on a weekend to automatically switch inputs and record matches. It's been awesome!

See the Michigan State Championship live at FIRST in Michigan State Championship 2016

We are using DaCast for the live stream. Thanks to the vMix team for listing them - made sure to mention the referral to the DaCast team, which they appreciated ;)

See all the recorded matches for 2016 on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/FIRSTinMichigan

Thanks to vMix for a great product!

Geek stuff:
vMix 16 HD version
Windows 10
Intel i5-4460
8Gb Memory
250 Gb SSD for OS and vMix operation
2 Tb 7200 rpm drive for video storage
Nvidia GTX 960 4Gb
Magewell 4 input SDI


Low price HDMI to SDI converters from Kanex Pro working great.

Cool setup you got there. Very low budget and great seems easy enough for a newbie to learn on. I'm sure all of your guys' competition look nicer (Provided you output to a display and not just stream/record)

Should have mentioned the outputs :)

We use a second display output HDMI, convert to SDI, and run coax to a large projector at the district competitions. If the projector doesn't have SDI we use a converter on the other end to DVI or HDMI.

So with vMix we have a audience display at the venue, live streaming, and match recording all in one package.

At the State Championship, we have a JumboTron. Also using vMix Social for audience tweets on that.

Yeah, when I used to do live events using vMix, people when crazy with the tweets. It was hard moderating the tweets AND the stream. Kind of wish I had knew the API existed so I could write a program that could assist me. Cool. Do you own the projectors? You didn't mention them in your first post. Also, when you say large, what do you mean, I have worked with some pretty BIG projectors....

API info is documented in vMix Help.

Projectors are rented - 10,000 to 12,000 lumens.
