I'm a new user of VMix and I'm looking for non-expensive options for a dedicated minicomputer that we could use once or twice a week to produce some live streaming using Vmix and Boxcast. Would that Lattepanda work for the purpose of running VMix? or any other suggestions? Input is welcome especially DIY videos. Thanks!

While Lattepanda might run vMix it would barely do anything at all. The Atom X5 Cherry Trail CPU is extremely limited.

https://www.cpubenchmark...+%40+1.44GHz&id=2839

The fastest one has a Passmark score of 1873. My i7-5775C scores over 11,000.

Also, Lattepanda has a very limited onboard GPU.

You'd be far better off buying a used PC or an Intel NUC. Something i5 or better.

If you're spending money on vMix you need a decent host or you're wasting money in both cases.

I'm testing one currently (lattepanda alpha). It works with vMix, but not super well.

I tested with 2 NDI sources from another computer. Tried recording in vMix codec and streaming at the same time. It handles it, but with very high rendering times.

Next test will be with a usb capture card, to check if the render times go down once it no longer needs to decode NDI, but gets raw YUV video instead.
