Input components

There are multiple ways to feed data streams into MiruSuite. The components below contain explanations on how to set up each type of input.

INFO

For optimal performance we recommend directly connecting to the camera via a low latency capture card (e.g. SDI, HDMI). However, which connection is fastest depends on the manufacturer of your camera.

For accurate tracking, a clean video feed without text overlays or graphical elements is essential. Please configure your camera accordingly.

TIP

You can also route the multi-view output from your video switcher into MiruSuite and crop it into separate input feeds. This setup is suitable when you don’t require auto tracking. You can reuse the same input multiple times and apply individual crops in the input component settings.

Webcam

When adding a webcam, you can select the correct input from a list. We support capture cards that get recognised by the OS as standard webcams. If you're unsure if your capture card works, try with the standard camera app.

WARNING

Note that the OS sometimes switches the order of the cameras, which can lead to MiruSuite not finding the correct camera, you might need to reselect the camera in the settings.

NDI®

Select the correct NDI® input from the list. NDI® has usually a lower latency than MJPEG, but higher than a direct capture card connection. MiruSuite automatically discovers NDI® sources in the local network.

NDI® is a registered trademark of Vizrt NDI AB.

MJPEG

If the device registers via mDNS, it will be automatically discovered. You can select it from the list. For other devices, you will need to enter the IP address manually. Click Connect manually, select the camera manufacturer, enter the IP address, and press Enter. If your manufacturer is not in the list, select Raw and provide the full URL to the MJPEG stream.

Authentication: If your MJPEG stream requires authentication via Basic or Digest Auth, select the Authentication required checkbox and input your credentials. Note that Sony cameras by default require the same authentication for the MJPEG stream as for the Web UI.

DeckLink

Add multiple video inputs via SDI or HDMI DeckLink capture cards by Blackmagic Design. DeckLink inputs have the lowest latency and highest reliability.

WARNING

DeckLink inputs are currently only supported on Windows. A key limitation of the DeckLink API is that DeckLink inputs are exclusive to a single application (like MiruSuite) and no other software can use the DeckLink card at the same time.

Audio AutoCut

You can connect a microphone or another audio source via your system's audio API. The audio feed can be used by the Audio Analyzer and the AutoCut algorithm. Audio devices are discovered via multiple supported audio APIs (WASAPI or MME on Windows, Core Audio on macOS). Some audio devices may show up more than once on Windows. In this case, just pick one.

In the audio component settings, you can select which audio channel to use. Enable the input and click on the headphones icon to listen to the live audio feed.

TIP

If you encounter audio connection problems such as "Insufficient Memory" or "Device Not Found", restart MiruSuite. This may occur after changing your audio device's configuration.

Dante™ Virtual Soundcard can also be used to route audio via your network to MiruSuite.
