Hi Martin, the URL gives an access denied error. No biggie. Also a reminder, the update is not showing as available within vMix. I know that is still on your todo list.

I've updated the forum URL, thanks.

I believe I have covered most of what has been mentioned in this thread, (or others have offered answers already)
If I have missed something, it might be worth creating separate threads for each issue as vMix 17 is now released.

Martin, does Vmix 17 send out NDI streams of the added input??

Have the following selected in Settings

Reason I am asking is when I run Newtek NDI Video Monitor it only sees the following sources from vMix..

vMix - Output
vMix - Audio Headphones
vMix - Audio Master

vMix will add NDI streams for any cameras or audio devices added.
It won't add ordinary inputs as this puts significant strain on the GPU, for that case you can use the vMix output
or use External 2 which is in the 4K and Pro editions.

Hi Martin.

Every input should have user choosable option so user can select the inputs he/she needs to be sent to NDI, please.

Thanks Martin, makes sense, it's what I thought, just wanted to clarify for the other users of vMix....

Sounds like the Overlay video is using a lot of CPU, what format/codec is it?

Wow! Isn't that bitstream a bit high? I usually render with 8-9000kbps.

With nothing else running vMix see what the CPU usage is playing that file, I suspect it will be quite high.
High CPU video plus 2 NDI plus multiple capture inputs may just be exceeding the limit of what is possible on that CPU.

For those seeing issues with vMix Desktop Capture for Windows, a new update is below of the standalone version which fixes a few bugs:

http://www.vmix.com/down...MixDesktopCaptureNDI.zip

For those seeing External Output issues with Blackmagic cards, can you report the blackmagic driver version installed?

What sort of capture card is being used? I'm not seeing any issues capturing MultiCorder in 17.76


Just ran some more tests, and it's only the NDI inputs that are upside down when recorded in Multicorder.
- Using a Blackmagic Decklink Quad, with the current 10.6.5 Desktop Video drivers
- Tested on Vmix 17.0.0.77 x64

In addition, I ran into a strange artifact when bringing in a RTMP stream straight from a Teradek Cube 155 encoder. (Compared to the SDI signal from the Teradek Cube 355 decoder pulling from the same stream) Looks like the red channel has taken a shift down. This strange effect isn't seen when using VLC to view the stream, or when using any other RTMP stream into Vmix. Duplicated the results on my main system and also a laptop running Vmix basic.

For the direct ingest of the feed from the Cube try turning on your camera or video source, then turn on the CUBE, then bring up the input in vMix. It seems to be a sequence thing. I find if you start the CUBE, then add the video source to the CUBE you get the result you show in the preview window. I don't have a pair of CUBEs so can't help with the colour shift but it may be another symptom of the same issue.

Solved: Thanks ask, but the startup order doesn't seem to make a difference. It turns out that having the Cube's deinterlacer disabled caused this effect. Not sure if the technical reason why the Cube decoder and VLC can handle it, but Vmix can't at the moment. Even if the camera was set to 30psf or 24p, its HDMI was still 5994i I suppose. Cameras were initially set to 1080i5994 with deinterlacer disabled to reduce the end-to-end latency. (Got it down to 4 frames using the Cube encoder + decoder) I don't suppose there are any recommendations to achieve the same low-latency straight into Vmix? (Tried a low cache value, and enabling intra refresh mode, but just get a black stream for any cache value under 200)

My Cube->Cube vs SDI latency test is posted here if anyone is interested: https://vimeo.com/164867055

Martin,

Just a reminder to update your download page.

http://www.vmix.com/software/download.aspx

The button/link for the download currently says 17.0.0.77, though it correctly installs 17.0.0.80.
Also, the release notes are from April.
