Hi!

I was wondering if it is at all possible to have two outputs.

One a clean program output and the one a dirty output with Timecode.

For example I would like to play a Videofile on the normal program out (Via NDI) which goes into TX

But at the same time show the same Videofile with TC in the production Gallery Multiview.

Is this possible?

@ M3lm0th

A couple of questions:

What version of vMix are you using?
(vMix 4K and Pro will allow more than one Output)

From where were you hoping to get and display the Timecode?
[Playback countdown time is already displayed on MultiView Screen (non legacy mode) if the video Input is among those visible]

Selections and options can be made in general settings:
Settings -> Outputs -> available options

By Timecode are you meaning the embedded timecode in an SDI signal? Or simply a clock on screen?

I'm not aware of any way to do this solely using vMix. But if anyone else knows a way this would be very helpful since at the moment we use accomplish this by using a BlackMagic ATEM. We have vMix replay playing out clean + another output with the replay countdown/progress/playback speed.

1) Duplicate the vMix desktop display into one of the HDMI ATEM Inputs (ensure the output in your desktop settings is set to match whatever your vMix video settings are i.e. 1080i 50hz)
2) Take the clean vMix output into an SDI input on the ATEM.
3) DVE the duplicate display onto the clean output, only showing the timecode section of the screen you want. On older ATEMs you can actually do a partial wipe to achieve this, leaving the transition only part way up.

Depending on the ATEM you might be able to get the vMix clean output looped back out + the ATEM Program (dirty with timecode), I've not tried this tough as we have an older ATEM. We also have a DA/VideoHub that takes the clean source first to give us the clean before the ATEM and the dirty source out of the ATEM.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the Responses!

@IceStream We have a couple of 4K Licenses

@Icestream I shall check the multiview, Thank you!

@Ask Ideally I mean the Video plays out via NDI/SDI as normally and then in addition the video plays out via NDI/SDI with the video timecode at the bottom so our PA can countdown

@Jeff-mst We do something similar by using OBS to screen grab the timecode and sending that via NDI
