vMix Native Input Integration

The native input method uses downloadable vMix title templates that ScoreBird populates with live scoring data directly over your local network. This produces score graphics that are native to your vMix production rather than a browser overlay.

Network requirement: Your NeST device and vMix computer must be on the same local network for the native method to work. If they can't be on the same network, use the web browser input method instead.

Requirements

• vMix installed (any edition)
• A ScoreBird account with an active NeST device
• NeST device on the same network as your vMix computer
• ScoreBird Admin mobile app (to configure NeST → vMix connection)

Step 1: Download the ScoreBird vMix Templates

Contact ScoreBird support at support@scorebird.com or 844-GOT-BIRD (844-468-2473) to receive the vMix template package. The package contains sport-specific .gtzip title template files.

Step 2: Add the Template as an Input

In vMix, click "Add Input" → "Title" → "Browse". Navigate to the downloaded template file for your sport and select it.

The template appears as a new input in vMix's input row.

Step 3: Select Your Sport Template

Choose the appropriate sport template from the downloaded files. Each sport has its own template designed for that sport's scoreboard fields (clock, score, period/quarter/inning, etc.).

Step 4: Open Input Settings

Click the gear icon on the template input to open Input Settings.

Use the Zoom and Pan controls to position the score graphic in the correct location on your output frame.

Step 5: Rename the Input

In the General tab of Input Settings, rename the input to "Scorebird" (capital S). This name is required — the ScoreBird Admin app identifies the vMix input by this exact name.

Step 6: Configure the NeST Device

Open the ScoreBird Admin mobile app and navigate to your NeST device. Under overlay settings, select vMix and enter:

• vMix computer IP address — the local IP of the computer running vMix (find it in vMix under Settings → Web Controller)
• Port — typically 8088 (vMix's default web controller port)

Save the settings.

Step 7: Start the Game

Once NeST is configured and a game is active in your ScoreBird schedule, the template fields update automatically in real time as your scoreboard changes.

Note: A game must be active in your ScoreBird account for live data to transmit to the vMix template. If the template isn't updating, confirm the game is started in your schedule.

Troubleshooting

• Template not receiving data? Confirm the vMix computer IP and port are correct in the ScoreBird Admin app and that both devices are on the same network.
• Input not found by ScoreBird? The input must be named exactly "Scorebird" (capital S, no spaces) in vMix.
• Default port blocked? Some IT environments block port 8088. Check with your network administrator or try a different port in vMix's Web Controller settings.
