Although some interesting incremental stuff, I was really wishing for more outputs. Even limited to virtual, on device use would be better than nothing! Viz has been offering eight for a couple of years already.

Of course tricaster cost 10x times. But if you do a HEDT for vmix it will cost also a lot so it would preferable for anyone who got the money to be able to have more outputs. Other than this. I see today another video that shows the 2nd multiview they add. But.. We continue to have only 2 fullscreen outputs. This i think is not about cost because the free OBS have as many fullscreen outputs your pc has and can handle

Yes i have seen these posts. But on the other hand.. A tricaster Elite that has 8 hw outputs costs about 25-30k. With this amount of money i believe is possible to build a pc that will be able to handle 8 outputs into vmix

I agree that user must be responsible for how much will load his system. Personally i learned with the hard way my pc`s limits. But i like to be able to do that. For example my i7 10th gen and a gpu like 1060/1070ti cannot do 8 hw h264 encodings even nvdia says it does. So i know that also i cannot do with vmix 28 in my current hw 5 stream destinations but i like that there exist this feature. In today vmix fun time show they did from IBC 2024 they say that with vmix 28 will be able to do 5 stream destinations because nvdia drivers now allow 8 encodings. Keeping that in mind,in theory nvdia quadro cards as nvdia says it can do unlimited encodings,so vmix could have a "recognise point" that the card is quadro and allow or not the more than 4 outputs

First, a Tricaster Elite 2 is running an embedded version of Windows 7--it's literally a PC.

Second, most of what you're listing is either I/O or software functionality.

Third, I'm not sure you understand what one can build, in terms of a $25,000+ PC.

The 96 core AMD Threadripper PRO 7995WX costs $10,000, for example. I'd expect 96 cores/192 threads can handle a lot of NDI encodes. Pair that with a $400 40Gb Ethernet card and I'd expect you get a pretty dang good NDI performance.

Of course, vMix isn't designed for this type of machine, because pretty much nobody has this type of machine, but the comment you're replying to is absolutely correct about what vMix could do on such a PC if it weren't locked down to match the capability of the average machine.

I completely understand why vMix has those restrictions, because they absolutely have to protect the user from themselves, and it wouldn't make sense to remove limits that'll only help those on PCs costing tens of thousands of dollars when the average user doesn't have anything even close to that.

But you can absolutely get Tricaster levels of performance out of an unlocked switcher on a comparably priced PC.

I'm looking forward to Vmix 28. I have a small suggestion for the new version. There is a big problem for those who follow the broadcast via multiview and manage it with controllers. When the broadcast goes yellow or has a recording problem, it is not noticeable that the broadcast or recording has stopped because the vmix screen is not looked at. I think a warning sign that can be added to the multiview screen or detailed information that can be added to one of the boxes would be very useful. Thank you

Has there been an increase in the number of fullscreens with the increase of multiview to 2?
