vMix Control Surface
vMix Control Surface is an optional hardware control surface for vMix that connects via USB.
The following is a User Guide that describes the capabilities of each of the buttons and controls.
Setting Up
Visit http://www.vmix.com/controlsurfacedownload/ to download the latest drivers.
Run the installer and accept the prompts to install. Once installed, verify you have the latest version of vMix.
vMix Control Surface is compatible with all installations of vMix version 15 and beyond.
Plug in USB cable from vMix Control Surface to Computer. The lights should flash briefly indicating the unit
is receiving power over the USB connection. When using the Control Surface, it must be plugged in prior to
opening vMix in order to be recognized. If you plug the unit in while vMix is running, you may need to restart
vMix to recognize the Control Surface is connected.
The Control Surface uses an industry standard cross point layout consisting of Preview, Program and
Overlay keys.
Each input in vMix has a number next to the input name. These correspond to numbers on the Overlay,
Program and Preview rows on the Control Surface.
The Control Surface provides access to the first 12 inputs. Inputs can be dragged and dropped in vMix to
position the most frequently used sources for use by the control surface.
