I have a special streaming requirement and I wonder if it is possible using vMix.

I need a setup that will allow for Multitple camera inputs (between 2 to 4) each streamed to a separate destination (e.g. camera 1 to YouTube; camera 2 to Facebook, ...) simultaneously. To describe it another way I need a setup that will ingest 2 to 4 camera feeds. Then provide isolated live streams for each camera input.

Can this be achieved using vMix? Any possible ways?

For example could one possible solution be to run Multiple Instances of vMix each with its own separate camera input(being ingested using decklink quad or multiple capture devices) and each instance streaming to a different rtmp destination?

Technically possible with 3 cameras and 3 destinations. Question will be more like what if you are going to mix , add titles etc? Also possible but you might need more hands to work with LOL
Why haven't you tried using the free trial ?

You can either use the inbuilt stream functionality to stream 3 independent feeds, or you can use the SRT capability to stream 4 and then use a transcoding service / Wowza AWS instance.
If you need advice on either just ask.

@doggy Thanks. I will download the trial and test the inbuilt capability for 3 outputs.

Thank you. I will do some research into the SRT capability.

You can run multiple instances of vmix at the same time, although I'm pretty sure you can still only do three total streams at once. I'm sure this isn't recommended by the vMix team either.

In settings, click 'show advanced settings' at the bottom
Then go to the 'options' tab on the left
Check 'open multiple instances' on the bottom of that section

Right click the icon in the taskbar and click the program shortcut. You've now opened a second, separate instance of vmix.

vMix only lets you choose between Output 1 and Output 2 in the stream settings anyways, so it's not even really worth trying to open all these instances of vmix to stream separate stuff.
Best bet is to make the preview window Output 1 and the program window Output 2, and manage the two windows separately to go to two different destinations. Simulcasting two separate outputs to two separate keys is no problem, just have to plan it out and keep the audio separated through the busses.

SRT would be your best bet for sending 4 unique outputs at the same time to different places.
