Remote vMix control app for multi-room video crews, would this be useful to anyone else?
Hey everyone,
I recently built a remote control app setup for one of the video crews I work with from time to time, and I’m curious if this workflow would be useful to others too.
It’s basically two apps:
vMix Commander is a desktop app that runs on the room laptop near vMix. It connects to the local vMix instance and can trigger recording, streaming, and MultiCorder.
Tracker is a mobile/web control panel that lets producers or crew see all rooms in one place and control them remotely.
The interesting part is that the rooms do not all need to be on the same network. Each Commander can create its own secure tunnel, so Tracker, or another Commander, can control that room even from a different location, potentially from the other side of the world.
The workflow is designed for conference and event production where you might have many rooms running vMix at the same time. Instead of remote-desktoping into every machine, you can see room status, check what is recording or streaming, and start or stop things from one dashboard.
Right now we are only using it internally with this crew, but I’m wondering if this kind of setup is something other video teams would use too. If there is enough interest, I might release it or make it available for purchase.
Curious to hear if anyone else has a similar multi-room vMix workflow, or if this is just a very specific problem for our crew.
