The vMix Thunder Laptop-Based Live Multi-Camera Production Studio is designed to convert your Thunderbolt-enabled laptop into a mobile live switching and editing platform. Along with a full version of vMix 4K Live Production Software, the bundle includes Sony Vegas Pro Edit 13 editing software, and the AJA Io 4K four channel video I/O device.
The multi-function vMix 4K Live Production Software is able to switch between multiple HD or 4K sources; the maximum number depending on the limitations of the computer, its GPU, and the video capture hardware installed (four HD resolution external sources with the included AJA Io 4K). It can stream a live program feed out to the Web over RTMP, RTSP, or Flash and can also record locally at up to HD resolution in AVI, MP4, MPEG-2, or WMV. If a video output is available, it can send out a full quality program feed for local presentation or recording separately.
In spite of its name, Vegas Pro 13 Edit is more than just video editing software. It features integrated audio editing tools, timeline color correction and effects compositors, and wide plug-in support. Vegas Pro 13 Edit also incorporates timeline tools for editing and troubleshooting stereoscopic 3D footage, and allows you to preview 3D projects in high quality using 3D SDI or HDMI I/O hardware and monitors.
Featuring four 3G-SDI inputs and outputs, as well an HDMI 1.4 input and output, the Io 4K is capable of capturing and outputting 4K signals over quad link SDI or HDMI. It is also capable of handling UltraHD, 2K, HD, and SD resolutions. When working with 4K content, the Io 4K outputs an HD-SDI down-converted signal on a dedicated BNC connector. This HD signal can be used to output to HD recorders or monitors. Embedded 16-channel SDI and 8-channel HDMI audio are supported, as well as analog audio outputs via a standard DB-25 connection. Stereo monitoring is possible via two RCA outputs and a front panel headphone jack. A 4-pin XLR power input is available for powering the Io 4K with batteries or the included AC adapter.
