Hi, I need some help.

I have a 2 sets of computers. vMix is installed on my PC. Zoom is installed on my iMac.

I have installed both NDI and the Elgato Capture cards.

I am trying to bring the vMix output which is generated on PC, over to the Zoom which is installed on iMac.

Neither seems working now.

(A) using Elgato Card.

I am using a Elgato Game Capture Neo which is on the list of supported hardware.

Elgato Neo

And when trying to set up set up external capture card. I could find the card on the device list.
Can not find the card


(B) using NDI.

I can see the PC is brought over by NDI Virtual Input
NDI list

But I do not see the NDI video in the list of camera feed.
camera list


Please advise.

Many thanks in advance.

Jing

For (A), you would have to use the Elgato device on your Mac. Your output would come through the GPU (HDMI) of your vMix PC. Look for Fullscreen output. You would also have to set an Audio Output to the HDMI output of your GPU.

For (B), look here: https://docs.ndi.video/f...ools-as-a-virtual-camera

Un-fortunatelly the hdmi out in the elgato neo is passthrough and not real external out so there is not way to appear as external out in vmix

Hi Niko,

Thanks for the input. I installed the Elgato 4K60 Pro MK.2 internal card.

Still the same problem. The card is not showing.

Hi unfortunately and this card says to the specs PCIe 2.0 x4
HDMI 2.0 Input (Unencrypted)
HDMI 2.0 Output (Lag-free passthrough)
Passthrough means not be able to send external from vmix or other program. You need a card like decklink mini monitor or decklink mini monitor 4k or if you need also inputs something like decklink duo or quad (but sdi input/output that means adapters sdi to hdmi and vice versa if you have hdmi equipment) or if you need only one camera in/out hdmi intensity 4k pro is great. Except blackmagicdesign cards I see for example the AJA but too expensive. From elgato don't know if exists any model that does real external and not Pass through
and also see this

Even if you have a card that can do external out properly,you need the elgato card or other input capture card to be installed in your mac. So you will have a hdmi out cable from your pc external card that will go as hdmi in to your mac via the elgato. Or you can try to do the hdmi out from your GPU as fullscreen from vmix and then hdmi in to your mac if in your mac you have a hdmi in capture card
And for NDI this seems to be a bul..it apple thing. Did you try what the link says?

@ gujingc

Most of the capture devices listed on the vMix Supported Hardware page are for ingesting.
Only those specifically listed as I/O, In/Out or Output are supported for External Output from vMix.
