5 streaming destinations and encoder statistics!

Now that you can use 8 hardware encodes with an NVIDIA GeForce card, vMix has opened up the number of streaming destinations to 5! This leaves another 3 free for other encodes like records! Having trouble keeping up with how many hardware encoders you’re doing? Well vMix now has an Encoder tab in the Statistics section, where you can manage the number of encoders you’re currently using.
