: Frequently used for cricket, football, or kabaddi to manage live scores, clocks, and player stats in real-time. Lower Thirds

For users comfortable with a bit of programming, UTC offers a powerful internal scripting engine. You can create complex automated workflows that respond to specific conditions. For example, you could write a script that automatically updates a scoreboard graphic whenever a new data row is selected from an Excel data source. The API reference documentation provides details on state access functions, conditionals, and expression‑based logic that can transform UTC from a simple controller into an intelligent production assistant.

Update player names, scores, fouls, and timers instantly. One operator can control score bugs and stat overlays across multiple cameras.

The Universal Title Controller, often shortened to , is a donationware third‑party application created by developer Elgarf that works alongside vMix through its official Web API. The software’s primary purpose is to build personalized user interfaces for handling XAML (Graphics) titles within vMix — but its capabilities extend far beyond simple title management. UTC enables broadcast teams to switch inputs, start and stop recordings, control streaming, manage external data sources, and even monitor vMix inputs and outputs via NDI, all from a single, fully customizable dashboard.

Use color psychology. Make "On Air" or "Take" buttons bright red or green. Keep background widgets neutral.

As of early 2026, UTC remains a vital tool for vMix professionals, though development activity has slowed compared to its peak years. Some users have migrated to alternative solutions like , which offers a more modern interface and easier setup. However, UTC’s extensive feature set, scripting depth, and zero‑cost entry point continue to make it an attractive choice, particularly for budget‑conscious productions and educational environments.

Enter the IP address and port of your vMix machine. If running on the same computer, use 127.0.0.1:8088 .

Instead of navigating through vMix's input settings to manually change text fields, UTC provides a blank canvas where you can build custom dashboards featuring: Trigger animations, shortcuts, and scripts. Text Fields: Input lower-third names and titles on the fly.

Open the widget settings, select your vMix Title input from the dropdown mapping list, and choose the specific text field you want to target (e.g., "Headline").

What you are producing (sports, news, podcast)? Do you use a single PC or multiple computers on a network?

vMix UTC is a standalone Windows application designed by community developer ElSlayer. It connects to vMix via the web API. It allows you to build custom, lightweight control surfaces (dashboards) tailored specifically to your production needs.

The is a dedicated interface window within vMix that allows you to edit the text, images, and data fields of any compatible GT Title (vMix’s native HTML5 title engine) instantly, without needing to open multiple input settings.

Live video production demands speed, precision, and flexibility. While vMix is a powerhouse for switching and streaming, managing complex graphics, scoreboards, and lower thirds directly within the main interface can become cluttered during a live broadcast.

For Chinese‑speaking users, a of UTC exists, created by a community member who spent weeks translating the interface to make the software more accessible to Mandarin‑speaking broadcasters.
