vMix 14 was released last week. Here are some for the changes and updates. If you have purchased vMix within the last year, I believe you can upgrade to vMix 14 for free. I'll be reviewing some of these new features on Streaming Idiots on Wednesday (10/1). www.EasternShoreBroadcasting.com (http://www.easternshorebroadcasting.com/)

I did a review of the beta release of vMix 14 several weeks ago. It is available on YouTube here (http://youtu.be/3STUIWehBfE) if you're interested.

You can download vMix 14 here (http://cdn.vmix.com.au/download/vmix14.exe).

Im traveling all next week but once I get back im going to have to install a copy on my main production machine. We are using a Kona 3g and Kona 4 capture device with Wirecast right now. Sadly there are some issues with frame rate/ frame skipping. I would love to see how it performs in VMix

I'd be interested to hear how that test comes out. Your streams look good; have not noticed any dropped frames.

Andrew is a LOT younger than you are. Maybe it's a vision thing. :cool:
