Hi,

I'm working to build my 1st system with vMix. It has been recommended to use the Nvidia Quadro card to support additional encodes.

Looking for guidance on best practices:

Is there a benchmark test or standard with vMix on max concurrent streams supported? example: I run a bit rate of 1080, 720, 540, and 360, + 1080 mpeg4 archive for local capture. Is vMix able to handle it?

My use of this system will most likely start with interviews being pulled via SRT or WebRTC (I think that vMix supports that), h.264 profile, no h.265 or HEVC. Then additional production activities, but may move to have it handle a contribution stream to the cloud or with cloud mix using easylive.io.

I think a chunk of vMix usage will be capture \ record sessions. Playback will be done via another path like with easylive.io, published to a specific site to handle the workload.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

You’re much better off buying RTX cards (if you can find them) and then running a patch utility that removes the artificial encoding limitation from the driver. Google it. The only meaningful difference between the old Quadro or new A-series cards and their RTX equivalents are the drivers and specifically the number of encoders. Since you can easily patch the encoder limitation you’ll get a much better system by taking the $ you save and upgrading the rest of the system, CPU, motherboard, etc... You will probably be CPU bound anyway.

Edit. Oh and there is no direct support for webRTC
