Switcher Management

Control multiple ATEM switchers. Sync your switcher settings between all of your iCloud-connected devices.

Buttons

Access buttons and functionality missing from the ATEM switcher hardware, including:

• Downstream Keyer: Perfect for ATEM Mini users.
• Upstream Keyer: Switch between your Luma, Chroma, Pattern, and DVE keyers.
• Macros: What’s better than having 0 (ATEM Mini) or 6 (ATEM Mini Extreme) macro buttons? How about every macro being available to run at a tap’s notice?

SuperSource

MixEffect makes it easy for you to become a SuperSource expert on the ATEM Mini Extreme, ATEM Mini Extreme ISO, and the ATEM Constellation 8K.

Enjoy beautiful transitions when switching between SuperSource layouts — no macros required. Use drag and drop to rearrange your boxes. Save your favorite preset layouts and share them with others. Run macros when recalling and exiting selected presets.

Companion and Stream Deck

MixEffect works with Bitfocus Companion and Elgato Stream Decks to provide fine control of your ATEM switcher via OSC.

Custom Switcher Pages

Create your own switcher pages that have the exact controls you need.

Macros
