Virtual Mixer (VMIX)

What is VMIX?

Virtual Mixer (or VMIX) is a cool feature present in

every Element system whether used with a StudioEngine

or PowerStation. In addition to the foreground mixing

capabilities present on the Element console itself, there

is a 40-input “virtual” mixer accessed via HTTP inter-

face or PathfinderPC software. This mixer consists of 40

stereo input channels, a direct output for each channel, 8

submixer outputs, and one master out. The 40 channels

are divided equally among the 8 subgroups providing 5

stereo channels in each subgroup mixer.

The various VMIX outputs described above will be-

come sources to your Livewire network and they can be

manipulated in the same manner as any other Livewire

audio source. A VMIX source may be applied to an El-

ement fader, assigned to a node destination or simply

monitored by PathfinderPC.

The fundamental concepts of Livewire sources, des-

tinations, inputs and outputs can be confusing to new us-

ers - especially as they apply to VMIX. Here is a review:

• Livewire sources are audio streams that are being de-

livered into your Livewire network.

• Livewire destinations can be physical outputs (that

are connected to external device inputs) or virtual in-

puts to which Livewire audio streams are delivered.

• VMIX Inputs are actually Livewire destinations since

they are virtual inputs to which Livewire streams are

being delivered.

• VMIX outputs are Livewire Sources since they rep-

resent new Livewire streams that are being intro-

duced into our Livewire network.

If you are having trouble with this concept, it may be

helpful to think of the VMIXer as a standalone piece of

hardware. If you visualize wiring an external line mixer

to your network, the Livewire destinations would be con-

nected to the mixer inputs and your mixer outputs would

be connected to node inputs. Your VMIX is “wired” in a

very similar manner.

Constructing Virtual Mixes with
VMIX

The VMIX main mix output provides a mix of all

active inputs, up to the maximum of 40. Each submixer

input includes an on/off setting, a gain setting, and auto-

matic fade-up/fade-down time parameters. The VMIXer

works completely independently of the Element surface

and can be used without an Element if desired. In addi-

tion to static control of VMIX through its web pages,

Axia’s PathfinderPC software can also be used to dy-

namically control VMIX and create mixing functions

based on a variety of system-wide parameters.

StudioEngine VMIX Controls

In an Axia system, all audio processing occurs in the

StudioEngine — the Element console itself does no au-

dio processing. That’s why VMIX settings are found in

the StudioEngine HTTP pages.

You may have noted that the Element HTTP

pages may also have a VMIX section. This is

the remnants of an earlier implementation of

VMIX, wherein the control was shared between

the Engine and the console. With Element 2.0

software, we have begun the process of transi-

tioning to VMIX control on the StudioEngine side

only, but controls are mirrored on the Element

configuration pages to provide a smooth transi-

tion for users upgrading from earlier versions.

This chapter may make reference to the earlier

implementation for clarification reasons.

Even though the “V” in VMIX stands for “virtual”,

you can in fact perform a certain amount of “hands-on”

mixing. Although you don’t have physical control of the

virtual faders or virtual

ON/OFF

switches, adjustments

made to the VMIX take effect as soon as you apply them.

While you may not wish want to operate an entire show

this way, it’s valuable to know that VMIX changes saved

“on the fly” will affect your output streams immediately.

In the HTTP pages of the StudioEngine, there is a
