Application
FMLE
Use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder as the streaming encoder. Requires Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder
to be installed which is free from the Adobe web site.
FMLE has built in support for H264 video and MP3 audio. For AAC audio an additional plugin can be
purchased from MainConcept.
FFMPEG
This is a free streaming encoder installed with vMix.
FFMPEG supports H264 video and AAC audio.
FFMPEG provides better quality and AAC audio support, but may not be supported by some providers.
Use Hardware Encoder
This check box is available for most NVIDIA graphics cards and substantially reduces the CPU usage of the
computer when streaming by taking advantage
of the hardware encoder built into most recent NVIDIA graphics cards, including the 750, 9xx and 10xx
series.
NOTE: NVIDIA GeForce cards support a maximum of 2 simultaneous hardware encodes.
This means if you record to MP4 with Use Hardware Encoder ticked, than only one of your streams can also
have the Use Hardware Encoder checkbox ticked as well.
Otherwise you will receive an error message when starting the second or third stream. The Quadro series
cards do not have this restriction.
Start
Save all streaming settings and start the stream. This button will light up Red when running in addition to the
Stream button in the main vMix window.
View Status
View some technical information on the stream while it is running. This is useful when troubleshooting
connection issues.
