I wanted to use vMix because it seems more stable with rtmp sources then the media source in OBS. I have the 1080p version that supports four inputs. If I add the rtmp stream directly in OBS as a media source and skip vMix it looks great.ĭoes vMix re-encode everything it sends to the external output? Or is there something I am missing? Do I need to have my sources be a higher rez/bitrate then what OBS is streaming out to? Am I just missing something on how to use vMix. Eventually using multiple sources and picture in picture is the goal. For this test I was just using it to take a single 1080p 60fps rtmp stream and relay it to OBS. I am not using vMix to record, to stream or anything.

Vmix says the external output is 1080p 60fps. But movement looks blurry and looks like it is being re-encoded. When I add a video capture source to OBS and use the vMix source for it. I have the external output in vmix set to 1080p 60fps NTSC. My rtmp sources I am adding through it are the same settings (people are streaming to my dedicated server running Linux/ngnix/rtmp module). My stream PC is an i7 4770K with a basic Geforce 560 TI in it. I do a dual PC stream environment since I do some console stuff along with PC. Questions for vMIx users with OBS and people using RTMP streams in OBS.

Use vmix
