We have just bought vMix HD and are having problems with external FULL SCREEN display of output.
We have 4 displays in the sanctuary and two displays outside the sanctuary!
We a Jmc SC510 N4 4 HDMI capture card. Computer is a MSI X99S Windows 8.1, 32 GB RAM.
We could not get it to work. We downloaded vMix 4K version and then it worked.
But we did not want to spend more monies on software to get it to work.
Can someone else please help???!!!

HI.
the best way is to use a nvidia graphics card with multimonitor outputs.
it works great with minimal latency.

Best Regards,

vMix HD does not support External 2 Output, but you should be able to get External Output of your program out.
How are you feeding your external displays?

graphics card is perfect ! can handle up to 4 monitors.
activate full screen on a second monitor
and feed the displays using HDMI long cables or cat5 hdmi extenders.

We only want external of the "output-screen" not of the entire screen with preview etc.
Can we get that "selective" output of the computer screen from graphics card?
what type of configuration should I do within vMix HD?

We just downloaded the 4K trial version since we couldn't get it to work.
But you say that it should work on vMix HD?
Just double checking -:)!

Thank you so much!
We were so concentrated on the settings WITHIN vMix HD, that we ignored the Windows display settings.
Thank you very much!

I will recommend you to get a Graphicscard that supports the amount off screens you need to work on, plus 1. Like, you count all the TV's in the church as one. Then you take the "Outputscreen"-signal(which is the plus 1) and put it into a Splitter. Feks: HDMI splitter if you use HDMI out and then send the signal to all the TV's you need to send the signal to. This will take the video processing off the graphicscard and put it over to the splitter.

Hope you understand what i mean, and good luck!

That setup we had already before we bought a new computer and vMix.
I think that we have solved the problem. We have windows 8.1 and what happened when we connected HDMI out from our computer to HDMI splitter was that the "Primary display 1" changed to "display 2" and the HDMI out became "Primary display 1".
The computer shop have said to us that it can be changed within windows 8.1.
And that's the reason for vMix HD did not work in "Full display".
It worked only when we downloaded 4K.

Curt,

In my view the terminology concerning vMix's extremely flexible output is very confusing.
From my experience you have to connect all the necessary cables to the graphic card's outputs and then, using trial and error, find out what to set where. It's like exploring an unkwnown territory without a map. After a while you start understanding things...

Some things on the way:

Only vMix 4K support two Fullscreen (and in addition two External Output)

Fullscreens use the Graphics card's outputs

External Output needs dedicated video cards, such as Black Magic intensity Pro

Make sure all displays in Window's resolution settings are set to "Extended display"
(and preferably to the same resolution and frame rate as which you produce with in vMix).

Window's display numbers (those you see in the resolution settings) are NOT the same as vMix's display numbers.
(In vMix/Setting/Display, under the "Fullscreen" options.

If you replace one device (eg a particular model of one monitor) in the graphics cards output connector with another device (eg anoter model, or a scaler), then you have to check/change settings in both Window's and perhaps also vMix. And, as Martin notes in another topic, it is important to always set the refresh rate on all monitors to 60 Hz.

The latest versions of vMix 14 are more consistent. 1 is always the vMix interface display regardless of what Windows says so
if you only have an extra monitor plugged in you can confidently assume 2 is referring to it.

vMix HD worked well on my MSI laptop. Just plugged in to HDMI on laptop and changed settings to extend display in Windows 7 pro.

vMix HD (and 4K) works well on all my PC's. But as I wrote, it is somewhat tricky to get all settings right when working with multiple Fullscreens and Externals.
(I also edited my post above with a note on that the monitors should always be set to 60 Hz refresh rate.
