I think about new hardware for my tasks.
We works with some government shows (presentations, media, live-streaming, multiview (from main hall to press-hall), 1 or 5 projectors, live translations with many live cams)

In 1-st stage i create this list:
Main block:
2xSocket2011-v3 ASUS "Z10PE-D8 WS" (iC612, 8xDDR4, SATA III, PCI-E, SB, 2x1Гбит LAN, USB2.0, USB3.0, E-ATX)
2x8ГБ DDR4 SDRAM Kingston "HyperX FURY" HX426C15FBK2/16 (PC21300, 2666МГц, CL15) - x2
Thermalright "True Spirit-120M BW Rev. A" - x2
4000ГБ Western Digital "Black WD4004FZWX", 7200об./мин., 128МБ (SATA III)
240ГБ Intel "540s" SSDSCKKW240H6X1 (M.2)
2000ГБ 2.5" Samsung "850 EVO" MZ-75E2T0BW (SATA III)
PCI-E 8192МБ ASUS "TURBO-GTX1070-8G" (GeForce GTX 1070, DDR5, DVI, 2xHDMI, 2xDP)
Intel "Xeon E5-2603V3" (1.60ГГц, 6x256КБ+15МБ, EM64T) Socket2011-v3 - x2
Rack case 4U with 1000w PSU
Blackmagic Intensity Pro 2 (HDMI 1in or 1out) - x2
Blackmagic DeckLink Duo (SDI 1in and 1 out, or 2 in, or 2 out)
License Win7 Pro
Llicense vMix 4k
License Resolume Arena 5
for 5 projectors - Datapath x4

Second block - small PC (i3 or i5) with Acrobat Reader, PowerPoint and other - it is one of sources for main block (hdmi or vMix desktop capture (IP or NDI)

Can you say me about mistakes or better components for my tasks ?

I planned:
240GB SSD - for system
2000GB SSD - for production (source-files and, if needed, for records) - may by for records use another SSD ?
4000GB HDD - long time archive for media. If some media needed for production - it copied to 2000GB SSD.

The processors seem a bit light to me. Are there other vMix users that use 12 cores at 1.6Ghz?

Also, these days you do not need a dual socket board to get a 12 core machine. This can already be done with one xeon for about the same money because the mainboard would cost less for a single socket. Also the results will be better with 12 cores on one chip, instead of 2 chips of 6 cores.
I do not see the advantage of the dual socket when you do not use it to get over single package specs.

ok. May be 2x6core CPU for current moment really is not needed. For first "start" i can take only one 8-10-12Cores CPU, but motherboard will be dual-CPU - for feature ?!

Advantages of this dual socket Motherboard is that you can start off with 1 cpu.
when budget allows it, just add a second cpu and and ram. Expandability and dependability..

4x M2 SSD at 32 Gbps for blazing fast Storage... Compared to SATA at 6 Gpbs.
Also the PCI sockets are split between the two cpu so more lanes available and faster throughput.

- SATA SSD can hit 500MB/sec read and write.
- PCI Express M.2 drives can hit 1,500MB/sec read and write.

Also it can support Dual CPU overclocking.

Intel E5-2630V3 has 10 cores/20 Threads, so that means 20 cores and 40 threads.

If money is the object, then the high end Intel CPU E5-4669V4 has 22 cores/44 Threads,
so that means 44 cores and 88 threads.

You could also look at Xeon's if the board supports them. You are unlikely to need the onboard graphics in an i7 with the 1070 graphics card. I have a single socket Xeon system and it more than handle 4-8 cameras with ease. Then of course I re-read your post.....LOL

It terms of ingest...maybe look at the quad input Magewell, Yuan or AJA cards. You will get the four inputs on one slot. If you do want to stick with BM, the Quad 2 rather than the Duo would be worth a look. BlackMagic cards can be very picky.....

Are the projectors networked? I have been using Epsons over a network lately and it works extremely well with no perceptible latency.
