Is my Capture Device supported?
Please refer to the Supported Hardware page for a list of capture devices that have been tested and are supported in vMix.
For all other devices, you will need to test them out with the vMix trial to see if they work.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Most DirectShow compatible capture devices should work.
- DV and HDV sources are supported, but they have a delay.
- Cheap USB based capture devices typically found on eBay should be avoided. While some of these devices work, they tend to have a poor quality image and are prone to crashing Windows. If using one of these devices and the video is not smooth or stutters, try setting the Video Format to MJPG when adding the device.
