Dear all,

Please give me insight.

My church need to set up these two outputs as follows:

- 2 projectors for the main building, outputting Powerpoint contents.
- 3 projectors outside the building, outputting the same Powerpoint contents mixed with live feed from inside the main building.
- 1 pc for outputting Powerpoint contents
- 1 camera for outputting live feed
- 1 pc for Vmix
- 2 vga/hdmi splitters, 1 for projectors inside the main building and 1 for projectors outside.

The Vmix PC consists of:
- 1 LAN card for Desktop Capturing from the Powerpoint PC
- 1 capture card for capturing live feed from camera
- 1 internal graphic card to outputting Vmix control window
- 1 internal graphic card to outputting Preview, Output 1 and Output 2 (probably will be using Geforce GT 730 that have 3 outputs).

Outpus are:
- Output 1 for the projectors inside the main building consisting Powerpoint contents.
- Output 2 for the projectors outside, consisting Powerpoint contents mixed/transitioned with live feed.

Architecture is as follows:



I acknowledge the feature of second independent output from the edition of Vmix 4K. Is the objective above can be obtained by that second independent feature of Vmix 4K? I am new with Vmix, please give me insight how to obtain the objective above. If I need to prepare another hardware, please give me example what kind of hardware needed.

Thank you for your help.

Rgds,
Mark

We need the Output 1 to be output from Vmix (instead from PC 1) considering the needs of displaying "news headline" style information among all outputs and any possibilities in the future to also output live feed included to the Output 1.

Thank you for your question. Any further question and/or ideas, anyone?

Rgds,
Mark

@ juventux

If I understand your set-up correctly, I believe it is very possible to achieve without too many complications.
vMix 4K and Pro have several options for Output, two for "External" Output which require a capable I/O card, and two "Fullscreeen" Outputs from a capable GPU.
My first concern, though, is with your graphics card as I have a preference for NVidia x60 and above series cards (with only two Inputs you may be fine but it's just my personal bias)
Secondly, if your Output 1 is only for PowerPoint projection, I would suggest making it your secondary Output (Display 2: dedicated to PowerPoint Input).
I would send your primary Output to the external projectors which includes camera feed and/or special effects like PiP etc.

As with all scenarios and with vMix's generous trial period, I always suggest to TEST, TEST and TEST again to verify that vMix will work for you and do what you need it to do (which based on your above description should be a more than adequate solution for you, although I am no engineer and don't know if you might require some sort of signal amplification when feeding so many projection systems, but that is beyond the scope of this conversation of vMix's suitability).

Hope that helps some
(and supporting DWAM's feature request is a good idea that will help make vMix even more versatile for such two pronged set-ups)

@ DWAM

I disagree.
I believe juventux wants to use the "Fullscreen" Outputs of vMix 4K or Pro as independent outputs, which, AFAIK is possible (I only have vMix HD).
Overlays could be accomplished with the "MultiView" feature of individual Inputs.
Although perhaps not the most convenient methods of operation, it should be possible.

@IceStream
Let's say he sets his FULLSCREEN OUT 2 to Powerpoint (or multiview) input
How can he switch to something else on this output? Unless he goes to SETTINGS to manually change the new input to use each time he needs to switch for VP1.
Yes technically doable but really not convenient. When you deal with so many inputs/outputs you really don't have the time to change your settings while in production.

For the overlays, there is an easier solution:
Set Overlay 1 & 2 to PROGRAM/FULLSCREEN 1 (MAIN output)
Set Overlay 3 & 4 to FULLSCREEN/EXTERNAL 2
I just tried it works. Unless you need the same XAML title to send different content to both screens at the same time.

It's like having multiple me' on a switcher,what u can do is just use a out from preview to a seperate out then just take outputs without putting them in preview,the u sorta have a 2 me console
