Looking for cost effective options. Vmix laptop with 4x 108060p hdmi capture with 4x replay. Need 300ft range for cameras. NDI, HDMI Ethernet extenders, etc. Not sure if 4x USB to HDMI capture is an option. Or what about thunderbolt to pcie case with pcie 4x HDMI capture card.

@ kevev

For performance reasons, laptops are generally not recommended for use with vMix Instant Replay.

Should be fine for 3 cameras max with 2x replay?

I have seen someone post their i5 macbook with thunderbolt duel channel can ingest 4 1080p.

Most laptops do not have duel channel USB, the ones that do only have two channels in most cases.

look for a laptop that has USB 3.1v2 -> this is what you need to get 4 1080p ingest over USB. IMO.

If you must use USB ingest I suggest using something similar to the Avermedia Live Gamer Ultra which has onboard encoding unlike most.
