The VMC12 vMix Control Surface with vMix HD Software from Switchblade Systems equips you with both a control interface and the necessary PC software to facilitate video playback and control of your broadcast production. The VMC12 is a control surface designed for vMix software or Blackmagic Design ATEM with multiple LED backlit buttons and a professional T-bar. The vMix HD software operates on Windows operating systems and allows you to switch between HD sources.
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.
FireWire (HDV/DV) capture is also supported; however, there will be a significant delay.
Note: Audio Capture support for Skype and other videoconferencing software is available under Windows 7.
