vMix HD Live Production, Streaming & Mixing Software (Download)

The multifunction HD Live Production, Streaming & Mixing Software from vMix can switch between multiple HD sources the maximum number depending on the limitations of the computer, its GPU, and the video capture hardware installed. It can stream a live program feed out to the web over RTMP, RTSP, or Flash and can also record locally at up to HD resolution in AVI, MP4, MPEG-2 or WMV. If a video output is available, it can send out a full-quality program feed for local presentation or recording separately.

Capable of more than just basic switching, effects and chroma keying are also built-in. You can add titles, incorporate virtual sets, or apply templates to give productions network-worthy results. This version of the software also includes the vMix Call feature, which allows you to add one remote guest to your production who are connecting with a web browser on Mac or Windows or with iOS or Android devices. vMix Call features include NDI support, return video/audio for each guest up to 1080p, encryption, selectable outputs, and audio mixing.

There is a built-in audio mixer so you won t have to rely on a separate hardware mixer. Audio can be sourced via embedded audio, the capture device s audio inputs, through a separate audio interface, or even be played from a pre-recorded audio file.

vMix Live Production software runs on Windows and works with a variety of video capture and I/O devices, including models from Blackmagic Design, Matrox, AJA, and more.
