Introducing Stream Deck

Vmix uses multiple overlays and frames to produce a variety of frames to be used on your stream. To manage the switching of these why not use Elgato Stream Deck. There are two options a 15 key or 32 key device. The 115-key device is nice and compact.



Vmix stream configuration

For publishers, our recommend stream settings for Vmix are shown. Depending on the CDN provider the upout mload bit rate should be 2.5Mbps or 1.5Mbps. Ensure you run a speedtest to check your actual upload speed. Check the dacast website for optimum details : https://www.dacast.com/support/knowledgebase/live-encoder-configuration We previously used multiple upload streams to allow users to cope with higher or lower quality connections, however, that is now handled by the CDN and one upload stream is fine. What this means now the Video Player option settings will give the user the option (if needed) to select manually the preferred download value. For example if you are on a mobile with smaller screen and you experience buffering you can select say the 480p or lower connection speed.
