Hello!
We have been using Vmix in production for more than a year now, producing Icehockey for the lokal team, streaming it on the web.
Everything works nicely and now we have been moving up in the leauge due to the nice productions we have made.
But now we have been given a new technical solution and we want to use the Vmix as a graphic generator sending the graphics to the production computer which can´t handle any graphics.How do we make this possible????

I know of a few people who use vMix as a graphics generator and do something like this.

Is this production computer able to colour key video? If it can you can do this;


Create a green (or other bright colour or even black that is not being used in the graphics) image that is the same size as your video, eg 1280x720
Import it as an input.
Create your graphic and set it to a layer. Put the green image up on the output and done, should get something like this.

On your production computer key the green, I just ran the vMix output backinto vMix to show this.

If your production PC is unable to key at all then input the video from the production PC into vMix and then overlay the graphics that way.



Hope that helps.

Not sure I completely understand your problem.
Does Jackster's suggestion solve your issue?
Or are you simply wondering how to use vMix as an input for some other hardware/software solution, something like the ATEM switcher?
The simple answer to your question "is it possible"? Yes! As Jackster says, many are already doing this.
The question of "How" depends on exactly what you are working with and what you want to accomplish.
vMix is very versatile and has many benefits both upstream and downstream around a hardware switcher or "other solution".
Perhaps you can elaborate a little bit more about your set-up and what you "ideally" want to be able to do.
