Live video mixing / switching

Live video mixing / switching

Standalone VGA Grid supports live video mixing (also known as live video switching) while you are capturing,
streaming and recording. Video mixing is a great way to create dynamic content for your viewers and
recordings. With Standalone VGA Grid, switching happens in less than half a second ( < 500 ms)!

This means you can start your stream with a video source showing a countdown, move to a single-camera
view, then switch between multiple cameras or multiple layouts with more than one source, and end again
with a thank you message for attendees. (Layout switches made in your channel are reflected in both the live
stream and recording. )

For example, your stream could look like this:

Before you can switch between layouts, make sure you have your custom channel with layouts created. See

Create a custom channel or layout

Now on to the fun part!

Switching / mixing using the web UI

Switching live video inputs, or video mixing, is fast and easy using the web UI. For best results, you may wish
to be in a location where you can see the live action, and have a solid understanding idea of what is in each of
your layouts. Good layout names can help with this. See

Rename a layout (custom channel)

.

To do live video mixing:

1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See

Connect to the admin

2. Login as admin.

3. Follow the steps in

Custom channel layout editor

or

Create a custom channel or layout

to get to the

channel layout editor.
