Hello everyone.. I have 2 Blackmagic Delink cards installed (1-Extreame HD with HDMI and SDI in/outputs & 1-8K SDI with 4 in or out puts)

Questions:
1. When starting a new project in vMix the resolution and frames rates must match my camera's Out-puts? (correct?)
2. If I am using a external laptop connected to the HDMI inputs of my BMD Cards, should match my camera or project for vMix?
3. I know some uses NDI to bring in a laptop into vMix and vMix Desktop capture. But is there's a way to use only a HDMI INPUT?
4. Last but, where should I setup my vMix project setting?
A. Using the Presets above the Preview window or in the Setting's at the Out-put or Program Window?
B. Will I have to restart Vmix once that is changed.

**I told you that I was new at this and I did look at a lot of video's, Just want to be sure...

It's those sample little things that bites you!


The problem that I was having, when I went to add the Laptop which is connected to the HDMI input, I had a blank screen in vMix.


What am I during wrong and I don't think that I had set the project in Vmix to match my production or will I have to use the NDI and/or desktop capture software.

Thanks in advance for any inputs

Thank so much..
