Hello,

possibly a stupid question, but I haven't found an easy solution yet.

In a viritual studio, I have a main monitor and two small monitors. Suppose I have 3 guests and would like to jerk the active speaker into the main monitor, later switch the next speaker into the main monitor.

Is there an easy way to switch the sources in the main monitor and to automatically switch the previously active to the original small monitor.

So far I have opened the same studio three times, assigned the sources to each and jumped back and forth between the three studios.

Is there a way to toggle between the screens using buttons (e.g. 1, 2 & 3)?

Thank You!

A virtual set is a multiview ;-)

Your question was "In a viritual studio, I have a main monitor and two small monitors. Suppose I have 3 guests and would like to jerk the active speaker into the main monitor, later switch the next speaker into the main monitor.
"

and an answer was given. the answer basically is a replacement of the manual way to specify a input in your various virtual set locations

check out how to use shortcuts and specify inputs in virtual sets . vMix has tutorial videos about that (youtube)

the shortcut functions in your case mostly appropriate will be MovemultiviewOverlay and/or SetMultiviewoverlay

PS you posted 2 images , i assume to show the difference, but posted twice the same image

@ Andreas

Another option is to create 2nd and 3rd identical MultiViews (or Virtual Sets) except for who is in the #1 spot, as you have done, and use the Merge transition for a nice animated effect between them.


Ice

yes you are wrong , and you don't even have to touch the config file

you have been given the shortut function , you have Ice's option or you can do it manually too (it's simpler than you believe it is ). To make it even more confusing one can use mini MIX into the game ;-)

ps. one can have multiple shortcut calls under the same key!

Hallo Digitaler Chronist,
Gute Sendung Gestern.
Das funktioniert mit "SetMultiViewOverlay".
Sie müssen jeweils 3 shortcuts mit derselben Taste erstellen. (Klonen), mit unterschiedlicher Konfiguration.

Die erste Zahl ist das Overlay dann ein Komma und die zweite Zahl ist der Eingang des Videos oder Kamera etc.
In Ihrem ConfigXML (welches ich runtergeladen hatte) ist
Screen1=Overlay5.
Screen2=Overlay6,
Screen3=Overlay7.
zb. Taste 1 = 5,1 Klonen, 6,2 Klonen 7,3
zb. Taste 2 = 5,3 Klonen, 6,1 Klonen 7,2
zb. Taste 3 = 7,1 Klonen, 6,3 Klonen 5,2
Somit wird beim jeweiligen Tastendruck jeder Eingang in einem anderen Screen angezeigt.
Gruss



Hello digital chronicler,
Good show yesterday.
That works with "SetMultiViewOverlay".
You have to create 3 shortcuts with the same key. (Cloning), with different configurations.

The first number is the overlay then a comma and the second number is the input of the video or camera etc.
In your ConfigXML (which I downloaded)
Screen1 = Overlay5.
Screen2 = Overlay6,
Screen3 = Overlay7.
e.g. Key 1 = 5.1 clones, 6.2 clones 7.3
e.g. Key 2 = 5.3 cloning, 6.1 cloning 7.2
e.g. Key 3 = 7.1 cloning, 6.3 cloning 5.2
This means that each input is displayed in a different screen each time the button is pressed.

Greeting

Hey elvis55, Danke für das Lob, ich gebe es weiter.

Vielen Dank für Deine Antwort. Das Problem mit "SetMultiViewOverlay" ist, dass der Befehl auf die Quellen zurückgreift. Wenn die Quelle jedoch eine andere Input Nummer/Namen hat, sind die Short Cuts hinfällig.

Ich suchte nach einem Workflow, wo ein Short Cut ausschließlich auf die Screen Anordnung zurückgreift, nicht aber auf die Quellen.

Hey elvis55, thanks for the praise, I will pass it to Thomas.

And many thanks for your response. The problem with "SetMultiViewOverlay" is that the command uses the sources. However, if the source has a different input number / name, the short cuts are not working anymore.

I was looking for a workflow where a short cut only change the screen arrangement but not the sources.

As already mentioned above, in my opinion the Config.xlm functionality should be more extensive or it would be nice if I could address a self-defined name of an VS screen position with a shortcut.

Edit: Maybe i did a mistake. Will test it and come back with my result

Use a standard name in the shortcuts, rename the inputs accordingly , or have them always in the same position (quickly drag them there)



Then do setzoom and setpan on the inputs themselves then


want to have more fun ? do it all with a script , read the input data and rearrange
