The basic HD version of the software is $60. The basic version of the app with 4 inputs and SD resolution is free.

The price of vMix live streaming software varies depending on the number of inputs and overlay channels you require, as well as on the resolution at which you wish to stream. It also supports slow-motion and concurrent recording, streaming, and output to viewing monitors. This allows a producer to use a handheld tablet to switch sources in real-time without having to sit behind a desk.įor situations in which you’re making minor edits to the live stream, vMix allows you to set a short delay between recording and the live stream. One example is its support for a touchscreen web interface. VMix is well-suited for highly demanding live productions. It also offers live video effects, including color correction, sharpening, zoom, rotate, pan, and crop. vMix provides similar transitions to Wirecast.

Uses more CPU than vMix in some of our tests.It requires a relatively powerful computer, especially for HD video streams. If you need premium support, you can purchase it for $99. The advanced version, Wirecast Pro, adds support for HDV, replay, more devices, and other features for $995.00. Wirecast Studio, the basic version of the software, costs $495.00. This is only a partial list, as Wirecast is very full-featured. Other advanced features provided by Wirecast include chroma key, playlists, Twitter feeds, support for all common encoding formats and streaming protocols, external monitor output, and recording to disc. For sports, Wirecast even features a scoreboard overlay feature to immerse the audience in the game. The encoder supports live switching, but also transitions, lower thirds, titles, picture-in-picture, and other elements that add polish and professionalism to a broadcast. The latter is done through an application called the Wirecast Cam App. For example, Wirecast allows input feeds from cameras, your desktop, video or picture files, and even attached iOS devices. Wirecast has some advanced features that set it apart from the competition.

The next application we will examine is Wirecast, a professional level encoder for live broadcasts from the Telestream corporation.
