2025-04-14Keys (Z-M) correspond to the inputs, and send them directly to the Output with the selected transition, the middle row of keys (A - L) send inputs to Output as a straight cut, and the top row, (Q - P) sends the inputs to the 'Preview'..I then programmed other keys to do different functions....but for someone coming straight to my PC, would have to try to remember, or have a detailed layout of my setup....With the control surface, it is all spelt out for them...... davidelsbury #38 Posted : Sunday, July 10, 2016 10:01:30 PM(UTC) Rank: MemberGroups: RegisteredJoined: 4/17/2016(UTC)Posts: 17Location: New ZealandThanks: 7 times Hi everyone. Is it possible to run both an Xkeys controller (which I understand presents itself as a MIDI device to vMix) AND the vMix Control Surface at the same time? I would ideally like the vMix control surface to take precedence in terms of automtically locking button 1 to input 1, button 2 to input 2 and so on (even if the inputs change)Thanks!David #39 Posted : Sunday, July 10, 2016 11:33:28 PM(UTC) Rank: GuestGroups: GuestsJoined: 1/13/2010(UTC)Posts: 230Was thanked: 4 time(s) in 4 post(s) I am hoping for the software control surface shown in this Youtube video ....... just what I would prefer...simple, traditional, and all on the same PC.....rather than having to buy an iPad, or tablet.....This is much better for simple setups where only 2 or 3 cameras are use....great for a one person operation, better mobility as only one PC will be needed...

Regards,MartinvMixHi Martin, I agree with you, just that for persons like me who is used to traditional switchers, it is a bit slow....what I am refering to, is the software version that was shown some months ago by thecloudmediagroup, which was demonstrated on a youtube video.......It looks like the hardware version, which could be used on a second monitor for the director to use, similar to the Blackmagic ATEM control surface....that would certainly be a great add-on to have for those who do not want, or can not afford at this time, an hardware control surface.... is what I am looking foward to seeing......if you can create a similar control surface, with touchscreen capabilities, that would be so nice.....At this moment, I use the keyboard to do my selections, since I discovered that the bottom row of
