vMix
Software video production: switching, titles, playback, streaming and recording on one Windows machine. The workhorse of small broadcast and corporate work, and increasingly of hybrid events.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ndi | bidirectional | Core. |
| srt | bidirectional | Contribution and distribution. |
| rtmp | out | Streaming. |
| osc | in | Control, depending on version. |
| smpte-st-2110 | bidirectional | On higher tiers with suitable hardware. |
What to watch for
One machine doing everything is one machine that can fail. Plan the fallback before the show, not during it.
Feature availability is tiered — confirm the licence covers the inputs and outputs the design assumes.
Typical use
- Live streaming and hybrid events
- Small-scale broadcast switching
- Playback and titling on one machine
