To enable interlaced processing in vMix, set Master Frame Rate to one of the settings below.
This can be done from Settings -> Display


Master Frame Rate


50p, 59.94p, 60p, 50i, 59.94i, 60i


Interlaced sources will be separated into two separate frames for frame rates 50p and higher.

All other master frame rates are progressive and any Interlaced inputs will be deinterlaced automatically.
