Hi All,

I have been puzzled about this for a very long time. Is vmix frame accurate when changing camera angles?
Let me explain: When I switch between cameras during a multi-camera shoot. I have always thought there is a slight delay which is more than one frames worth of delay.
When I watch a sports production on ESPN or SKY Sport I think their switching is instant (well looks instant) Granted they use million dollar experiment.

I am using the keyboard to switch.

Am I crazy, dreaming or right?

It's possible, There's no frame sync in most cases. each camera input signal is synced internally per input.
If you took say two cameras side by side and shot something fairly high speed and if there is a significant difference it should be obvious.
To be totally scientific you would need capture cards and camera that are capable of Gen Lock so you can test with and without to measure differences.
