Hello Everyone,

Since keeping an eye on FPS, Render Time and CPU is so important I suggest that that information should be displayed more prominently . Right under the Output / Program screen. With bigger font size.

The way it is currently displayed it is easy to miss during a busy production. The tiny font numbers down there at the bottom almost give the impression that this data is just an “afterthought” — not really that important, maybe just for techno-nerds — when in fact those numbers are the very foundation of a successful vMix production.

Also with a larger display, the color of the font could change to orange, then red if they are hitting their “peaks”. So just like audio meters we would have a highly more visible way of checking these ever-changing but important numbers.

An additional enhancement would be if the individual inputs could display their cpu usage in real time — so the production can know specifically which inputs are the CPU hogs. Not only would this be useful, but enlightening -- and educational as well.

My mockup for individual input display shows an example. It can be an overlay showing only in the input previews, enabled by only if the broadcaster is suspicious about an input, similar to timecode displays used in video editing. Each input can be set up to display CPU or not display CPU usage -- either individually or globally.

Thanks!
