Hello, we recently started using data sources for our titles and it is great! A great addition to vMix would be to make image inputs data source aware as well. We use a virtual monitor on our virtual set and it would be great to be able to change the file path/URL for each week's images in a spreadsheet instead of manually changing them in the vMix image input.

Yes as Doggy said it's already supported. I use it all the time to make dynamic titles. Just use the path to the images in a field

I'm not talking about images in titles. Yes, those are supported. I am talking about image inputs. I do not see any option for data sources for them like in titles.

have a title input that holds a full screen image linked to your datasource
have that "title" as input for your virtual monitor

Thanks. That may just work. I'll give it a whirl. It would be cleaner to have image inputs data source aware though.

Hello,

i just have a question to those inputs you guys were talking about in this thread above.

I have the following situation:

We change from Livestream Studio to vMix right now on over 40 livestream-systems. In Livestream Studio we were able to set image columns in the data sources. I try my best but cannot find any similar solution in vMix.

Example:
In Handball we have a scoreboard (Gametime, Teamnames, Score) which is controlled by an external csv-File. When there is a 2 minute penalty against a player, we just set the image path in the csv-File and it shows up the graphic under the scoreboard. When the penalty is over, the graphic disappears by deleting the path out of the csv. Please have a look at the file attached.

Thank you so much for helping!!

File Attachment(s):
scoreboardwithpenalties.png (3,093kb) downloaded 41 time(s).

JMO

instead of deleting the image path why not replace it with a 'blank image' path ?

Other options have been discussed in ths forum by means of title codebehind responding to values or simply coloring rectangles by colorcodes etc
