What's new in vMix 30?

3:05Guy wonders, what's new in vMix30? Ah, well, it appears to be a beta announced at IVC. Courtney, did you look at the changelog? Yeah, I did. I looked at some of the reports of what was seen at the IVC. I don't have a vMix license, so it is not shipping until late this year or early next year. They say that the new features in vMix 30 is NDI 6.4 integration and MKV support,

3:40and it includes support for 6.4, and a standout feature is the preservation of the MKV file format. in multi-quarter, bundling the preview, main video, and metadata into a single file that can be brought right back into vMix. There's massive replay upgrades. The maximum number of cameras for instant replay has been increased to 16 channels from 10, 12, and now 16 replay multi-views.

4:10Users can also designate unused camera channel to import clips off your hard drive directly into a replay channel so that you can open up slow motion capabilities to that particular clip. You have increased outputs. The total number of outputs has been increased to 8 and 30. It has SRT enhancements that have updated the latest secure reliable transport version, which officially supports SRT as a stream output.

4:38They improve the audio quite a bit. New built-in audio effects, including RN noise and RTX audio effects for background noise removal. So active noise removal using the NVIDIA chipset if you have one. Graphic and overlay tools. Brand new overlay designer with shapes and borders support, along with enhancements to GT titles. inverted masking and eyedropper tool lets you sample the colors from a video screen.

5:14And editing multiple text fields simultaneously. Built-in presentation support features dedicated built-in PowerPoint support and a slideshow input presenter mode. So you can open up a PowerPoint and probably have control over slide advancement and transitions and builds. And that's basically the end of the list that I have. There is a beta out for licensed users, but I think you have to sign up for it to get access to it for licensees.

5:49Courtney, I know you're not an EVS operator. None of us are, but obviously we've seen this trend now with software-based. What was that? Robert Green is. I know, I know. It's too bad he's not on the show. He's behind the scenes tonight. whisper in our ears but so i've seen this trend obviously da vinci black magic with da vinci resolve they're trying to do the replay thing now v mixes of doing a lot of development work to

6:11enhance the the replay capability but do you have any comments on that like obviously traditionally this was like a hardware software type of solution but now with a software-based solution is that something that you think is trustworthy to use for for this type of thing i can't speak to its trustworthiness because I haven't tried it, but, uh, you know, um, EVS is a specially designed

6:36system for the ground up. It's designed with a rolling, uh, you know, 24 hour record capability on multiple cameras, all tied to time code. And it, uh, allows you to just set markers and then bounce back, uh, so that you can, while you're still recording, it's open recording while you're playing back. So, uh, some machines can handle that. Some machines can't. Um, that is the key

7:00You know, some of this replay stuff means that you have to stop recording to play something back, and that's a problem. I don't know how vMix handles that, whether it handles rolling recording while it handles access to those recorded files while they're still recording. Because it depends on, you know, the operating system you're in and the file type that has been opened.
