We want to figure out a way to send video out to our hdmi switcher that sends the signal to other TVs in our building. We tried to plug an hdmi cord from switcher into the 4th port on the video capture card but nothing happened. I am not sure if it will even send video signal out or not. If it will, do I need to change a setting in vmix? Hoping to get some ideas to try. Thanks! John

There is an hdmi port on the motherboard but when I plug it in there, nothing comes out either. Is there a way to get vmix to use that one? I don't think a splitter will work because we want the streaming output and not just what is on the monitor. Thanks, John

A search will tell you that GPU is a graphics processing unit. Your video or graphics card. I can only guess as to what gear you have. In order to understand and help more details are needed. There is the fullscreen output in vmix you can use if you have a second video output. Do you have a second output? LOU

You might be able to use the onboard (one integrated into the motherboard) hdmi port. It depends on your system. It could be disabled by another graphics card. There really is no way to know. Send more details and we can go from there. LOU

Plug it into your nVidia card....there are usually 3-4 options to connect monitors. Get it working on a 2nd monitor first then worry about the splitter https://support.microsof...-10-set-up-dual-monitors

You should be able to connect a monitor to another port. I see a Displayport and a DVI-D. Either one can be adapted to hdmi. Does your card have these connectors? LOU
