vMix vs OBS for multicamera - a real production comparison

Both put many cameras into one program, but they are built for different scenarios.

vMix

• A real switcher: T-bar transitions, multiview, tally, instant replay, SRT/NDI built in.
• Predictable with many inputs and live cutting.

OBS

• Free, open, huge community and plugins.
• Great for streaming a single scene; multicam works but is not a dedicated switcher.

Serious multicam with replay and tally - vMix pays off. One or two cameras and a stream - OBS does the job.
