Then I made a quick little VB.NET program that takes the CSV and changes the deliminator to a "|" character so you can import the list into UTC(here it is).

The way this works is I compile all of the player information into a Google Sheet and download it as a CSV. In this setup, I have 2 laptops that are sitting next to the commentators that run NDI Studio Monitor so they can see the Multiview and VMix UTC to pull up player titles with their name, position, grade, and height from a list of all of the player names. VMix Universal Title Controller(UTC) and VMix panel builder are incredibly useful free tools for title control from more than one person. For documentation on this check VMix and Bome for information, but again if there is any confusion feel free to message me. It makes operation much simpler and tactile for operators and is hugely important in an efficient workflow. It's sort of a nightmare and takes forever to get all of these controllers working properly, but it is well worth it once it is all done. For controlling instant replay marking and playback.For controlling audio levels of the cameras, commentators, and a few buses.Used for display titles and a few other misc functions like starting playlist and "external" rendering for the tv's.The activators from VMix to make the lights of this device light up are a PAIN to set up but because of the SysEx messages that make it work but this blog that took forever to find explains how you can make each of the buttons light up any way you want.The design of it makes it work very nice.Used for program and preview bus video switching for mix A and mix B.

The controllers we use are listed below:Īkai Professional Fire Controller FL Studio It takes the incoming midi messages and then translates the command to the one midi link actually going into VMix.

If you have any questions on what exactly it's doing DM me.

I use Bome Midi Translator Pro for this and it is running on the system described above. It is important to note that using multiple controllers in VMix requires some Midi translation for VMix to understand the differences between the different controllers to take data from them and return the lighting data to the controllers. Rather than using expensive purpose-made controllers like X-keys as a cost-saving measure, I decided to use midi controllers for control surfaces for VMix.

VMIX FORUM 1080P
Note: one of them is in a PCIe 1x slot rather than the recommended 4x slot but since in my case it is only running at 1080p 30 it functions fine.CPU - Intel Xeon Silver 4210R 2.4Ghz base 3.2 Ghz boost clock 10 cores.If you are looking into getting a similar computer I would recommend going with the additional RAM, multiple SSDs, and a processor that is clocked high but here are the current specs:ĭell 7820 Workstation Tower(specifically a workstation-grade computer for the additional PCIe lanes) We use a pretty powerful Dell workstation to run VMix, Dante VIA, and Bome Midi translator, but there are a number of upgrades to it that will be made soon(more RAM, multiple SSDs). This allows us to directly integrate NDI, have dynamic titles, use multi-camera replay, encode to more than one platform, have backup recordings in different encapsulations, and obviously all of the other features in VMix. The video switching that we are doing is being handled all within VMix(specifically the pro license). I figured a detailed description of this setup could be useful for other high schools and high school students so here it is:

This initially was a completely mobile setup but recently because of NDI and Dante we were able to accomplish a main static control room for all of the locations that we broadcast from (football/soccer field, main gym, baseball field, softball field, etc.) and this greatly reduced the setup time and allows for us to have much better control solutions.

This idea initially started when I was in middle school, but I finally have it to an almost complete place in my sophomore year of high school. This is a setup that was created by me for my high school that took a number of years to implement to the extent that I have today.
