Hi guys, I'm looking to do a project where I will have 2 or possibly more vMix machines feeding a master machine from different locations streaming over the web.

What's the most efficient way to pull each machine into the master machine and could I see a data bottle neck even with say a 100mbps connection?

Thanks for your thoughts.

@ NHT

Without knowing too much about your specific purpose and/or actual geographic parameters, I would probably suggest vMixCall if you must use the Internet.
NDI would be possible (and has been done across several Kms) on a LAN.
Failing that, I would think direct SDI connections if you are within 300 ft of each other (or possibly longer with SDI/Cat5 converter systems).
There are likely a lot of different options possible, you'll just have to describe your situation in a little more detail.

Thanks for the reply Ice.

The machines will be hundred of miles apart, imagine each remote like a small sat truck feeding into a studio.

vMix call is an option I considered, also setting up a dedicated Facebook or Youtube live stream from each site.

I just wondered what other people have done in the past and if certain feed types were more stable or efficient.

Thanks again.

Check out richardgatarki's very creative use of vMixCall with cell phones in the streets and a couple instances of vMix in the Studio to do these two Live Shows:

Another very clever use of cameras using Teradek Bonds to stream from the golf course back to a Studio hundreds of miles away (Arkansas to Wisconsin) by jvphobic where he used vMix to mix and produce the live stream:

Where there's a will, you'll find a way!
Some great ideas for you explore there.
