Sample Video- Introduction to vMix Panel Builder: Updated 9 Apr 20


Get the Free "vMix Panel" app on the Apple App store and the Google Play Store.

Here's how it works:

1. Design your custom control panel using the latest vMix Panel Builder Desktop software

** Make sure to create your templates as "Tablet Templates". Choose "New Tablet" from the file menu. You should also set "Tablet Template" as default in the preferences. This will save the template in the proper format for iPad and Android Tablets. Unlike desktop templates, these are not resizable. The files will be saved with .vmpbx extension, which will be used when syncing to tablets. Templates created for desktop will not sync to tablets.

2. When you are ready to sync your templates, simply launch the vMix Panel Builder Desktop application. You don't need to load any templates.
3. Select "Sync to Tablet" in the file menu (it will display the IP to enter in the Host IP field in the vMix Panel application on your tablet)
4. Set your Tablet's Wifi setting to the same network as your Host computer
5. Launch the "vMix Panel" application on your tablet
6. Enter the Host IP (IP from the above Host computer) in the preferences (cog icon)
7. Enter the vMix IP in the preferences.
8. Use the "sync icon" to Sync and transfer your Templates and your UserIcons from your computer to your Tablet via Wifi Network.
9. Select the "folder icon" and choose the Template file you wish to load .
10. Start controlling vMix with your Tablet.

** Panel Builder users need your support for future improvements **

The Panel Builder app uses the information in the vMix API XML to 'tally' the buttons. Unfortunately, some information is not yet available in the API, therefore some commands cannot change the state or "tally" the buttons.

Quite often, feature requests for improvements to the vMix API are unsupported by users at large. These request are important to 3rd party app developpers that are working for you (Most of the time for Free). Typically, the vMix admins look at the number of +1 replies supporting the request before considering action.. If you don't support it, it may not be considered.

If you are a Panel Builder user and want to support some new features requested by other users, please add your (+1) to the following active threads.

If you are on a PC, try running the app by right click and select 'Run as administrator'. I found this to happen in some PC. I'm not sure why. Let me know if this works for you.

I got it to work....I hit the ENTER Button after entering the IP address, just out of frustration, and it connected.......will run some tests, see what it is capable of, and report back.....I just like playing with new software...keeps my brain active....I hope....

The concept seems like a good idea, however the installation and execution may need some work.
In attempts to operate on MacOSX (Sierra 10.12.6), the application does not run.

More explicit installation instructions are required.

During installation/operation attempts, after downloading the initially opened 'folder' containing both the MacOS and Windows, along with the csv and png files, versions, attempting to open the .app file, within the macosx folder fails. The operating system replies with 'The application 'vmix panel builder.app' can't be opened.'

The same error occurs after moving the macosx folder from within the vMix Panel Builder folder, and even after moving the app into the applications folder.

I make it connect but how you make the buttons control source in vmix?

Recommend that you zip it prior to uploading to Dropbox. The only issue might be any external dependency files that are required.

Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback Joeboe. I actually had done the labelling in the buttons at first, but I figured if someone wanted to have 2 labels with different sizes and colours on the same button (as in the Sample file), it was easier to make them as separate labels. As far as moving them around, you can actually lasso the button and labels to move them together. That also works with multiple buttons and labels as well (but not faders). If you lasso a group of them, you can also align them by right clicking. I'll see if I could also add the option of inserting a label directly on the button as well without complicating things too much.

As far as the faders, you should be able to select "audio- SetVolume" in the command dropdown menu (?) icon, and type the desired input number in the "Input" field. Try configuring a fader to set the Master volume to see if that works. (audio- SetMasterVolume), no need to type anything in the Input field..

Your patience and suggestions are much appreciated..

It sounds like you want to control vMix from outside your network. I think that's what you mean by remote location ? Both the vMIx Web Http API and TCP are meant to run from the same network as your client computer or device (iphone,ipad etc). It's not really a port number issue as such. To control vMIx from outside the network I believe it would require something like a DDNS server. That starts to complicate things. Maybe someone can chime in here and suggest a way to do this if it's even possible...:)

Just out of curiousity, if your co-host is in a remote off-site location, how would he monitor the feed without delay in order to control shots ?

Thanks for your interest. I'll do my best to improve the app as we go..

Nice ! Good to hear that it works with DDNS. So technically I should be able to include that option in the app. If you don't mind, I'll PM you to get some more details (that way I don't spam the thread).
