G'day all!

I stumbled across vMix while looking for.... well...vMix lol...

I've been building and running audio systems for churches for nearly 20 years now, and recently I've bee approached to come up with a video solution.

They have 2 HDMI video cameras and a well designed audio system (if I do say so myself) so I figured that a PC with an Avermedia DarkCrystal HD Capture SDK Duo (c129) would probably be the best bet with audio recorded via the line in jack on the soundcard. That way there would be room for expansion should they decide to add another in the future for a total of 4 physical cameras. The motherboard I envision would have a minimum of 3 PCI express slots.

I'm completely new to video, and I'm hoping that some of the more experienced members here might be willing to offer some guidance with regard to the PC I need to build. Obviously I'll have to research both vMix and Avermedia system requirements for some of the appropriate hardware, but if anyone has any further advice or things to consider I'd be much obliged.

Thankyou in advance for any input you might offer.
