I have three 4k 60p cameras that I plan to use with vMix Pro on a Dell T5810 (Intel Xeon E5-1630v3 3.7Ghz, 32GB RAM, 256GB SSD, NVIDIA Quadro K2200)

Based on my computer’s specs, I need help determining which method of input will work best with vMix:

1. Converting my 4k camera signal to NDI (not NDI|HX) then adding the NDI sources in vMix. Would use the Bird Dog 4k Quad.

2. Install a PCIe capture card into the computer to receive SDI from the camera then add sources from the capture card. Would use the Blackmagic Design Decklink 8K Pro Cinema Capture Card


Anyone have any advice on what method of input might be best for vMix Pro running on my computer? I'm brand new to vMix, so any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

@ ARiggs

SDI would be my choice.
