2. vMix

vMix is a highly powerful encoder and was developed by StudioCoast. The latest version of the Windows-specific software is 24.0.0.72 and includes an upgrade to a free 60 day trial of vMix PRO for download. While vMix 24 is for Windows only, the software can be installed on a Mac via Boot Camp if the machine has a Windows partition. Like Wirecast, vMix software supports a wide range of inputs. These include:

  • Video cameras (supported capture cards) at up to 4K resolution
  • NDI: send and receive HD low latency video and audio
  • Video Files: AVI, MP4, H264, MPEG-2, WMV, MOV and MXF
  • Audio Files: MP3 and WAV
  • Web Browser, RTSP, PowerPoint, Photos, Solid Colour, and more.
  • Webcams, DVDs, playlists, PowerPoint, and other sources

vMix includes native support for multi-bitrate streaming, which is very useful for professional broadcasters who highly value user experience.

Additionally, this software supports the Network Device Interface (NDI). NDI sends your secure video upload over gigabit ethernet networks and green screens.

vMix also includes a built-in titling tool that includes animation support. Additionally, it offers an instant replay and slow-motion feature.

Compatibility:

vMix is only available for Windows PCs. However, it is possible to run it on a Mac using a certain technique. While vMix cannot be installed directly on OSX, the solution when using a Mac is to install it on Windows via Boot Camp.

Pros:

  • Some limitations on compatibility
  • Plans for every budget
  • 60-day risk-free trial
  • Users rave about switcher functions

Cons:

  • Streams in relatively low bitrate
  • Some “bugginess” (which users suggest could be fixed with software update)

Pricing:

vMix is available in five different versions, ranging from Basic HD to Pro, and the software comes with a free 60-day trial. Each version supports a different number of inputs, your purchase never expires, and includes the following versions:

  • Basic (free), which supports 4 (up to 2 camera/NDI) inputs and video up to 768 x 576 resolution
  • Basic HD ($60), which supports 4 inputs (up to 3 camera/NDI) and video up to Full HD 1920×1080 resolution
  • HD ($350), which supports 1,000 inputs, adds vMix call functionality, 4 overlay channels, and supports full HD video in 1920×1080 resolution
  • 4K ($700), which supports 1,000 inputs, 4K resolution video (4096 x 2160), PTZ control, 2 recorders, instant replay, 4 SRT outputs, and much more
  • Pro ($1200), which also supports 1,000 inputs, includes all 4K features and 2 records, plus up to 8 callers, up to 4 cameras for instant replay, and 4 SRT outputs

The following is a subscription license and includes, and is charged on a monthly basis:

  • MAX ($50/month), which also supports 1,000 inputs, 1,000 NDI inputs, and includes all 4K resolution video (4096 x 2160), PTZ control, 2 recorders, instant replay, 4 SRT outputs

vMix also offers a 60-day free trial and has all the features of vMix Pro including the ability to use resolutions greater than HD such as 4K, particularly to ensure vMix supports your computer hardware works with it before purchasing. This is a great perk, as most encoding software offers only up to a 30-day free trial.
