Is vmix just possible to run through remot desktop?

I also tried vnc, it doesn't work that wa and in there the video driver is the nvidia one.. instead of microsft's vga driver in remote desktop.

But every other app works, OBS, VLC, ffmpeg, and half a dozen other things, I can even use pinnacle to edit videos through remote desktop on there and they work fine.. Just not vmix...

I administer over 30 vMix systems, and operate them quiet functionally across the globe remotely using TeamViewer. When I say all over the world, I actually produce multi-camera shows on vMix platforms located in Madrid, Spain - Sydney, Australia - Sal Paulo, Brazil, and Montreal, Canada..... all from my spare room near London in my underpants.

These shows are all broadcast on national satellite, cable and terrestrial TV in 1080i50/60 HD and works very well. Don't even bother trying RDP or VNC based systems, they just don't know how to do video in real time, but TeamViewer hits the button. Teamviewer should be set to 'Quality Mode' when configuring presets etc, but changed to #Speed Mode' when you are doing a production. Video can become laggy in the 'quality mode' but allows you to check things to a pixel perfect level, but when in 'Speed mode' the video keeps up, and you can make reliable and qualified switches.

I strongly recommend using some kind of API driven external controller at your end. This ensures fast (maybe not frame accurate) switching from a remote location.

As you can imagine, all these shows in different time zones, actually getting dressed is somewhat difficult. So underpants it is. I often chuckle to myself, thinking that there are people watching real TV shows in say Australia, and have absolutely no idea the guy vision mixing the show is sat in his underpants in a 2m x 3m spare room in his Underpants.

Oh and the real effect of TeamViewer on the CPU/GPU - almost Zero! (Although it may say 100%). TeamViewer also likes to work in the GPU, but consumes so few resources its not worth worrying about. It MAY appear to MAX out your CPU, but thats ONLY because TeamViewer uses ANY spare CPU capacity to increase the experience. If you are using 98% of your CPU, TeamViewer will use 2% CPU, however if your only using 40% of your CPU TeamViewer May take up the 60% excess. vMix itself ALWAYS seems to get CPU/GPU priority, keeping your production frame rate smooth and sexy.

p.s don't try this over a 14.4kbps modem link. :)

I think I have the issue figured out (yeah its been a while)..

I switched to teamviewer only..

But that alone didn't fix the problem. I think the problem might be that there is no physical monitor connected to the server at the remote location. When they plugged in am onitor AND turned it on it works. but if they turn off th monitor or disconnect it, I get no video through vmix..

Since I can not pay for 6 rackspaces to hold just a monitor is it possible to setup a virtul monitor or fool the gpu into thinking a monitor is on and running?

The video adapter is ASPEED family (WDDM). dxdiags shows directx9 with no errors..

I just set this up on Windows 10 machine for a gov't client.

We have been using Microsoft Remote Desktop to configure vMix on Win10Pro machine both on LAN and VPN. The machine has no monitors attached nor monitor emulators and all seems to work well. Is there anything I should be aware of or are we safe to use this in actual production?

Essentially, is there any performance or stability difference between Microsoft Remote and TeamViewer?

Ah yes, I remember reading that a while back now. Thank you!
