vMix

Voice Tracking connects to vMix via the vMix Web Controller API.

Prerequisite

Ensure all sources and inputs are configured in vMix before connecting Voice Tracking.

Step 1: Get the vMix Web Controller Port

1. Open vMix.
2. Navigate to Settings (gear icon) → Web Controller.
3. Note the Port value (default: 8088).
4. Enter a Username and Password.
5. Ensure the Web Controller is enabled.

Step 2: Configure the Switcher Connection

In the Voice Tracking configuration menu, click the Switcher tab and enter:

Field	Value
Switcher Type	vMix
IP Address	IP address of the computer running vMix
Port	Web Controller port (default: 8088)
Username	Your vMix username (if Web Controller authentication is enabled)
Password	Your vMix password (if Web Controller authentication is enabled)

Step 3: Start the Switcher

Click Start Switcher. A success message will confirm the connection is active.

vMix Input Numbers

vMix cuts are triggered by input number, not input name. When assigning cameras to zones, the assigned value should correspond to the vMix input number for that camera feed.

Stopping the Switcher

To disconnect from the switcher at any time:

• Click Stop Switcher in the Voice Tracking toolbar (the same button used to start it).
• The switcher connection will close immediately.
• The microphone connection remains active unless you also click Stop Microphone.

Zone-to-Source Mapping

After the switcher is connected, map each zone to the correct switcher source:

1. Click a zone header on the zone map.
2. In addition to the Camera and Preset dropdowns, a Switcher Source field is available.
3. Select the input/scene number that corresponds to the camera covering that zone.

For multi-camera setups where multiple zones share one camera, assign the same switcher source to each zone within that camera's field of view.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Likely Cause	Resolution
Start Switcher fails immediately	Wrong IP, port, or credentials	Verify connection settings; confirm switcher is running and reachable
Zones activate but no cuts happen	Switcher connected but sources not mapped	Verify zone-to-source assignments in the zone map
vMix connection refused	Web Controller not enabled	Open vMix Settings → Web Controller → Enable
Cuts happen with wrong camera	Zone-to-source mapping incorrect	Re-check zone assignments and verify input/scene numbers
Switcher connects but immediately disconnects	Firewall blocking the port	Verify firewall allows traffic on the configured port between the camera and switcher

Next Steps

With the switcher connected, return to Zone Configuration to assign switcher sources to each zone.
