Live Video Production for Windows and macOS HD 4k 2x4K
Vidix — Live Video Mixer Mac and Win
Professional live video switching and recording in one app, built for real production and broadcast work. Vidix is a professional live video switcher built for real production and broadcast work — multi-camera switching and recording in one app, running natively on Windows, Apple Silicon and Intel hardware systems.
Core Capabilities
Inputs
Manage complex multi-source setups, ensuring robust performance for demanding 4K production workflows.
Layering and Switching
Utilize Apple M-Series power for instantaneous vision mixing, 32-bit float computation, and intricate multi-view visual overlays.
Streams
Manage local ProRes captures and specialized hardware monitor outputs with absolute mastering mastery.
Native Mac Ecosystem
Switching & Compositing
Classic Preview/Program workflow with instant Cut or smooth crossfade Fade. Up to 5 picture-in-picture overlays — draggable, resizable, croppable, with a "PIP Mix" mode for fast camera-pair switching. Broadcast-grade chroma keying ("Ultrakey"-level: luma/chroma color-space keying, not flat RGB) with spill suppression and light wrap, usable on any PIP or on Program itself. 2 downstream-key (DSK) buses for preview monitors. Scenes: save and instantly recall a full on-air look — source, PIP layout, keying, DSK,music — with its own fade time.
Outputs
Up to 5 independent, individually configurable physical outputs — each can follow Program or be routed directly to any source. A dual-output "2×4K" span mode for wide/multi-display setups. A dedicated multiviewer output mode. Simultaneous NDI (full resolution) and/or OMT broadcast per output, independently switchable.
Recording
ProRes /mp4 recording of Program. Independent ISO recording per camera, in sync with Program.
Audio
Independent Main (live monitor) and Record buses, so what the operator hears and what gets recorded/broadcast can differ deliberately. Per-input mute and "exclude from Main output," PIP audio automatically included, live VU metering.
Control & Integration
Full MIDI control-surface mapping via a Learn-based binding UI. OSC control for external automation. Built-in Sync Test tooling to verify output timing across multiple displays. Pairs automatically with Shadix (below) over the local network for camera shading and tally — no addresses to type in. Drives camera tally lights via NDI, reflecting live Program/Preview state. Full show/project save-and-recall.
Fully compatible with Shadix
