After much anticipation, vMix 17 has now been officially released on the vMix website. vMix continues to set the standard for live video production and streaming software with it’s industry leading features. Not only has it supported 4K and social media integration for over 2 years, vMix 17 now includes support for direct PTZ control and Newtek NDI!

NDI will open up a world of opportunity for vMix users. vMix will now have access to any NDI capable device on the local network. That means users can connect cameras, other vMix computers, Tricasters, graphics, skype, and PowerPoint all over the network from other NDI devices! NDI also means that you can send your vMix production, individual cameras, audio, graphics, and social to other NDI devices. vMix is a very customisable piece of software, but now with NDI the possibilities really are endless! vMix is currently the only live video production and streaming software that fully supports NDI!

vMix has also released vMix Desktop Capture for NDI, which is a free application for PC and Mac that will allow you to send your desktop over NDI!

PTZ Control with vMix allows users to control their web-enabled Panasonic, Sony and PTZ Optics PTZ cameras! You can directly control the camera while you are running your production and set different angles for the camera. Essentially you’re adding multiple camera inputs with just one camera! This sort of functionality will be great for one person productions that can set up their entire show with vMix and one PTZ camera! Add more PTZ cameras to your production and you really have an endless supply of shots!
