Vmix external 2
As long as your computer/laptop will support 3 monitors then you can do this as well using projectors instead of monitors. I have a Mini-Port TO DVI cable going to the Gateway and a HDMI>HDMI going to the Lilliput. 1) Laptop Screen 2) Gateway Monitor 3) Lilliput Monitor. I am using the FULLSCREEN function to accomplish this since you are only wanting to output 2 different video signals to 2 different projectors. For my demo I am using a laptop with vMix 4K. I have attached screen shots (zip file) for each step. I am going to show you the steps I would do and since I have no idea on your vMix experience I will show all steps. I think I understand what you are trying to do. We don't record anything - we need to live produce at an event on projectors only. I think I am using vMix differently than most because a lot of advice I get is centered around recording. vMix can literally control another external, but only for "blind cuts". I am really disappointed that we cannot open up more than one set of "preview/program" sets for control of output. But our intentions is to run this via a laptop, which will likely only have one hdmi port (or similar). That is fine for a desktop box - we took mine to the event and it has 4 ports on it.
With vMix and the io4k totaling $2700, it seems like it should run two projectors with standard bells and whistles.įrom what I understand (now) about fullscreen is that it only works with ports on the systems video card. We ended up renting a video switch for the second projector, but I'd still like to get this working with vMix and the io4k for future projects. No matter what settings we had, HDMI was always the one controlled by preview/program, even settings said the opposite. It appeared that no matter what I did, what settings I switched, that the HDMI feed I thought was on External 2, was the content controlled by the preview/program windows, and the content on External (SDI) was only available to be swapped via the External 2 menu behind the Cog for External (at bottom). I am using the AJA io4k and was hoping to use two of the SDI ports to show different content on two different projectors.ĭuring testing, at one point I had content A through External (via SDI) and content B through External 2 (hdmi) - or so I thought. There is certainly lots of flexibility with this in vMix. Let us know some details on what you are trying to achieve and we will try to help out in more detail.
If you had something like a BlackMagic Hyperdeck Shuttle then you can run the monitor out into the Shuttle to record. On the "FullScreen" settings you can specify what you want to go to your extra monitors.
You have the option of outputting through "External" and you can also output using the "FullScreen" option. Are you wanting to output 2 different outputs to record? As Indiffy stated there are actually several ways to accomplish this.
