would it be possible to link two vmix machines trhough a thunderbold 3 bridge so they can share inputs and resources as if it is one machine with two vmix instances.
this way one machine can provide inputs, multicorder or replay functions and the inputs are shared internally to the second machine for mixing.
this would save an extra machine with input card, and would basically clone vmix to 2 or more machines with the extra cpu gpu power. all you need is to hook up a second laptop with vmix2 and you can start working on the inputs from vmix1
Would this be an option, Martin?

I do this with NDI Stefan
AFAIK TB3 is not a network interface/protocol like Firewire was back in the old days...

oh yeah, sorry. I do this all the time with my apple laptops. connect through tb2 bridge in a snap.
guess windows is more complicated. with internet briding is no problem, but building a tb3 40gb bridge would allow to share resources without need to convert through ndi. that's my point.
will look into tb bridging in windows 10 a little bit more...

posted a feature request about this, because I guess it's Martin that has to look into the possibilities to allow raw resources to be shared over a fast bridge connection.
would be great to be able to just hook on an extra vmix machine and import the cameras and other inputs to use for specific tasks without any other hardware. for mixing or for replays or for streaming or screen projection.
parallel vmix processing over more machines...
anyway just a thought related to more cpu gpu power need and limiting costs. would be great to be able to use hardware that is affordable and still maxing resources.
will try hooking up my two tb3 machines I have. this way I can possibly edit recordings on one machine while recording on another just by sharing the same drive and a fast connection. this would alow for near instantanious posting to youtube or other after a recording is finished.

tb3 bridge in win10 works, connect, approve, joing homegroup, share dir: ready. transfered a vmix recording of 16gb in about 20 seconds.
so it seems there are some possibilities here. next step: share through daisychain over my akitio box. step2 share over two akitio boxes.
then it will become more technical... will vmix be in a position to share raw streams over a tb bridge, so I can import them on a seperate machine.
game changer?

Can you check if NDI streams are visible/usable in this mode?
Does the TB connection appear as an ethernet interface in the network settings?

will check. busy week ahead.
connection is a kind of network connection. just checked the connection standard first. maybe there are more options.
more vmix users looking into tb3 network connections?
