Go Time: vMix 29 Turns It Up to Eight (Overlays)

It’s official, vMix 29 cranks creativity up to eight. With eight independent overlay channels, producers can now stack videos, graphics, titles, images and bugs without compromise. Whether you’re juggling scoreboards, lower thirds, or social feeds, vMix 29 gives you the headroom to make every pixel count. Alongside 8 overlay channels comes 8 stingers to make your transitions even better!

vMix 29 introduces support for Open Media Transport (OMT) an open-source, high-performance protocol for low-latency, high-quality video over local networks. Supporting 4K and high frame rates, OMT delivers reliable live video between systems. It’s the next step in vMix’s commitment to keeping professional video truly open and connected.

Instant Replay CPU performance in vMix 29 has been improved by up to 50% for recording and playback.  A new Quad View mode allows for the viewing of monitor up to four camera angles for simple reviewing.  In addition to these updates, replay cameras can now be stored across multiple drives for better performance.

It’s GO time again! The beloved vMix GO returns as a modern quick-action control option for your inputs! With the interface changes required to accommodate more overlays, the Quick Play option has been replaced with GO! This can be used as the traditional Quick Play option OR you can make it a customised shortcut button!

More buses, more control, more routing freedom. vMix 29 adds five new audio bus configurations - AB, CD, DE, ABCD and DEFG. All audio bus options now selectable for MultiCorder in addition to Master.

In a recent walk to the local convenience store for afternoon snack time, vMix Senior Systems Engineer, Heath Barker made the following statement. "I'm excited to see how our high-end Instant Replay users find the new improvements - multi-drive support, OMT, performance improvements and 8 stingers - All in 29!"
