VMIX AND VMODE

Some VMix Examples

Now that you know how to enable and set up VMix submixers, what might you do with it? The possibilities are

limited only by your imagination. To get your creative juices flowing, here are some examples.

Some facilities may need to monitor one or more sources in addition to program audio, like the "squawk channel"

some satellite feed providers use to relay announcements.

If you wanted to monitor this "squawk" audio on your Preview speaker without taking up a fader assignment, you

could create a mix of the "squawk" source and the Preview mix from the engine. The VMix Sub Channel would be

the audio source that you would route to the Preview speaker.

By default, all audio sources within your Livewire system are stereo. However, in some cases, you might need to use

just one channel of an audio stream, or make a mono sum from two different sources. You can do this with VMode.

VMode has the capacity for up to 8 separate stream-manipulation operations, using 4 different pairs of inputs,

grouped by twos onscreen, as seen here. VMode controls are found at the bottom of the VMix and VMode screen.

Here's what you need to know about VMode fields and settings before you get started.

Using third-party products like Vmix for Axia from BSI, you can remotely

control the VMix channels in Zephyr iPort PLUS via your iPad. This gives

studio talent or producers direct control of iPort's Vmix, without the need for a

physical console. This app has been tested and verified by our engineers. There

is one caveat, however. The wireless connection you are using MUST be on the

Livewire network. It is not possible to "route" it from a different network as

you can with an Axia Studio Engine or Power Station.

Imagine that you have a night jock that should monitor all four radio stations

in your cluster. To help make sure this actually happens, you could send all

four off-air signals as sources into a VMix submixer, and take the output of

that submix to a monitor. A Fusion accessory panel or external button wired

to a GPIO port could then provide a "press and hold" function to allow the

jock to monitor the sources momentarily. (This example is only possible with

Pathfinder control of VMix.)
