The vMix 4K software operates on Windows operating systems and allows you to switch between HD and 4K sources.

Camera

Use a video I/O card such as a Blackmagic or AJA product to capture from a live camera or external video feed. Up to 4K resolution is supported, depending on the limitations of the card and computer hardware. FireWire (HDV/DV) capture is also supported; however, there will be a significant delay.

Remote Screen Capture

Use the desktop from a Mac or Windows computer connected to the same network as a computer running vMix as a virtual input. Ideal for PowerPoint and Skype. Note: Audio Capture support for Skype and other videoconferencing software is available under Windows 7.

Play from Files

Previously recorded footage can be treated as an input source. Supported file types include AVI, MP4, H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, and QuickTime.

DVDs

DRM-free DVD content can be incorporated into the program feed, complete with menu navigation.

Audio Files

Use sound cues, music tracks, and other aural elements to spice up your production. vMix plays back MP3 and WAV files.

External Audio

Use the audio accompanying your video, a separate audio interface, or your computer's sound card to capture live sound.

Video and Audio Playlists

Combine multiple video and audio files into a bundle that will play on a single input channel.

Other Supported Media

In addition to audio and video, vMix supports PowerPoint, photos and other still image graphics, solid colors, and more.

Virtual Capture

Enables streaming to third-party software such as Skype, Google Hangouts, and VLC.

Record While You Stream

Record your programs in Full HD to AVI, MP4, MPEG-2, or WMV.

MultiCorder

Provides the ability to record the raw video and audio from capture inputs to separate files in addition to the main vMix recording. This feature is also known as ISO recording.

Output Locally

Output the program feed via a compatible video I/O card for monitoring, presentation to a local audience, or to use a separate video recorder. Additionally, unique to the 4K version, you can send a second feed along with the main output. You can a choose program, preview, multiview, or from one of two inputs.

Video Delay / Instant Replay

Create a video delay input and assign it to any available camera or output

Save multiple video clips of notable events for playback at a later time

Configurable slow-motion playback from 5 to 400%

3D GPU Acceleration

Thanks to 3D acceleration provided by compatible graphics hardware, vMix is able to handle processing and switching of high-resolution video without overwhelming your computer's CPU.

Choose from four built-in virtual sets or build your own. You can zoom in or out as needed, or define custom camera presets.
