Some VMix Examples

Now that you know how to enable and set up VMix submixers, what might you do with it? Here are
some examples.
A Mix of Sources to Monitor
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.

Virtual VMix Control

Using third-party products like VMix from BSI, or by taking
direct control of a console's mixing engine with Axia
SmartSurface software, VMix channels can be assigned to a
"virtual control surface", giving studio talent or a producer direct
control of VMix without the need for a physical console.
Combining VMix with Pathfinder Routing
Control
Axia Pathfinder routing tools can be used to "control" VMix in
two different modes.
First, as a background controller, Pathfinder can monitor
Livewire system parameters or receive commands from external
devices like satellites, button panels, or automation systems and
react to them
by changing the state of VMIX ON/OFF, Gain, Time Up, and/
or Time Down fields. This provides many different possibilities
for facility automation, Intercom functions, or whatever else
you might imagine. For example, the combo of Pathfinder and
VMix could duplicate the function provided by other products
that are controlling audio switching in many radio facilities.
(Refer to documentation on Pathfinder for further information.)
