Information to prepare this item
- Laptop model and configuration, installed vMix version, license and documentation to review for the intended use.
- Planned sources, capture, inputs and outputs, destinations, production format, recording and media.
Identify the laptop and installation
Gather the model, computer configuration and installed vMix version, along with license documentation for the intended use. Related guides help prepare questions; their reference to a version does not identify this laptop’s installation. Capture and inputs and outputs remain to be confirmed.
Plan production and delivery files
| Point | What to record | How to proceed |
|---|---|---|
| Computer and installation | Model, configuration, installed version and license for the intended use | Review documentation and the proposed production’s requirements |
| Sources and destinations | Planned capture, connections, signals and production format | Confirm inputs and outputs and plan the signal path |
| Operation and delivery | Planned program, operation, signals to record, media and files | Agree on scope and checks before defining delivery |
The vMix Pro name alone does not confirm a laptop’s performance or the scope of software supply. This guide does not assign hardware, a version, an input count, formats, recording capacity or a license transfer; those points are reviewed against the installation and proposal terms, without claiming a completed test.
Topics to discuss
- Video format and signal path
