WASP3D overlays are rendered in real time and can be integrated into vMix in a few ways depending on your setup. Here’s the step-by-step approach:

🔹 Method 1: Using NDI (Network Device Interface)

This is the most common and seamless way.

1. Enable NDI Output in WASP3D

   • In your WASP3D Playout/On-Air Manager, enable the NDI output for the graphics channel you want to stream.

   • Make sure your WASP3D and vMix are on the same network.

2. Open vMix

   • Go to Add Input → NDI/Desktop Capture.

   • You should see the WASP3D NDI feed listed (it’ll appear as a live source).

3. Overlay or Layer It

   • Add the WASP3D input.

   • Use it as a main input, or put it as an Overlay channel on top of your camera feed.

   • vMix preserves the alpha (transparency), so your lower-thirds, tickers, or animations will overlay perfectly.

🔹 Method 2: Using External Key + Fill (Video Cards)

If you have professional video cards (like DeckLink Duo, Quad, or AJA):

1. Set up Fill + Key Output in WASP3D

   • WASP3D sends two outputs: one for the graphic fill and one for the alpha channel (key).

2. Capture in vMix

   • Add both inputs in vMix.

   • vMix will composite them (fill + key) to make clean transparent overlays.

👉 This method is usually used by broadcasters who need SDI workflows.

✅ Best Practice:
Most people go with NDI integration, because it’s plug-and-play, requires no extra hardware, and supports alpha channel properly in vMix.
