Question 1

Can I run vMix directly on MMG Axis?

Accepted Answer

Yes! MMG Axis was specifically designed and specced to run production software like vMix. It's a powerful Windows PC with dedicated GPU in a 4U rack unit. Install vMix directly on the device, and your SDI inputs convert to NDI internally with virtually zero latency—giving you a complete, purpose-built production system.

Question 2

How do SDI cameras appear in vMix when using MMG Axis?

Accepted Answer

When you connect SDI cameras to MMG Axis, they're converted to NDI sources. In vMix, simply add them as NDI inputs—they appear automatically via NDI discovery. If running vMix on the Axis itself, latency is virtually zero. Over a network, expect the standard NDI latency of a few frames.

Question 3

Can I output vMix program to SDI with MMG Axis?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Configure vMix to output via NDI, then use MMG Axis to decode that NDI stream to SDI. This gives you SDI program output for monitors, projectors, LED walls, or broadcast infrastructure. Each of the 4 SDI ports can be an independent output.

Question 4

Does vMix support NDI Bridge for remote production?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and MMG Axis makes it seamless. Use the built-in NDI Bridge to send your venue camera feeds to a remote vMix system, or receive remote contributions into your local vMix production. Bridge connections work bidirectionally for full REMI workflows.

Question 5

What vMix edition do I need with MMG Axis?

Accepted Answer

Any edition of vMix works with NDI sources from MMG Axis. For professional use, vMix Pro or vMix 4K is recommended to unlock multiple NDI inputs, NDI output, and professional features. vMix licenses are purchased separately from StudioCoast.

Question 6

Can I use vMix Call with MMG Axis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. vMix Call guests appear as NDI sources within vMix. If you need to route a vMix Call to SDI output (for a monitor or broadcast feed), MMG Axis can decode that NDI to SDI. Combined with NDI Bridge, you can also bring remote vMix Call guests into productions at different venues.

Question 7

How many NDI inputs can vMix receive from MMG Axis?

Accepted Answer

MMG Axis can provide up to 4 NDI streams from its SDI inputs, plus additional NDI sources from software running on the device. vMix Pro/4K editions handle multiple NDI inputs limited only by your system resources. The Axis hardware is designed to handle the NDI processing load.

Question 8

Is there latency when using SDI cameras with vMix via MMG Axis?

Accepted Answer

MMG Axis converts SDI to NDI with under 30ms latency. If running vMix on the Axis itself, total latency is minimal. Over a network, add a few frames for NDI decode. This is suitable for most live production scenarios including low-latency IMAG when properly configured.
