Thanks for providing showcasing MixEffect! Looking forward to sharing with you and your audience the exciting new features coming in the iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 version of MixEffect.
Thank you for that info. One question about IPad. I'm looking to purchase for my studio and mobile rig build. What the oldest model IPad will work with your system now and maybe the next few years????
@@GTGTV there are features that will be exclusive to iPadOS 16.1 coming out soon, so the minimum iPad to get is one that supports iPadOS 16. If you are looking for a used iPad, the 2018 iPad Pro 12.8 will still work for many years. I would also recommend getting an iPad with a USB-C connection, so that includes the latest iPad mini 6th generation (there’s a deal on Amazon right now to get that for $399), or the current iPad Air (with the M1 chip). Rumor has it the next base level iPad will get USB-C, so that is another option for you.
@@AdamTow great 👍. I've been holding off for a long time trying to figure what buy and future proof my purchase. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to seeing the new feature you have coming up!
This video was super helpful. Glad to know I'm not the onlyone using an Apple TV for wireless connections to the switcher. Be aware that there's a little delay between the source & switcher. As long as you aren't trying to sync that source with a different audio source, you'll be fine though.
Liveapp video cue tab @4:40 - Worth the price of admission when you integrate it with BMD Atem switcher channels. This is why people love software playback of clips where the software is able to communicate with the switcher. That is some mighty fine optimization. As you say so much simpler than doing it with a Hyperdeck. 👍
Thanks Aaron. Do you have a video on network set ups for portable rigs? I’ve run into some snags building a new portable rig. One of my problems is testing on my companies secure network I’m sure. With an uplink from a venue, a router and a switch, I’m hoping to be able to get Internet to multiple laptops as well as have ATEM’s and audio mixers networked. Is this essentially what you do on location?
Apps are awesome. I am using MixEffect. Needs a separate Apple device dedicatedly … that’s $$$$ Also you need to keep mix effect open all the time if using via companion. I wish you had highlighted cons as well.
Question: using Companion to control the Atem Mini Pro. I’ve set up a few macros to make it easier for the volunteers running our livestream. But, I’ve struggled to find / set up macros that operate and show the state of the audio inputs. Any suggestions? Cheers.
Hello there. This was a great video. I had a question. My Afem mini pro is interrupted during the live broadcast, and the reason for this is that the internet is low. I often broadcast live in rural areas. You mentioned Sling Studio in this video. I think he can reduce internet traffic to 3000mb/s in sling studio? then there will be no interruptions even if the internet is low. but with 1080p60 live broadcast, the video quality is not good. I need to run the same 1080p60 live broadcast but without interruptions. Thanks in advance if you know the solution
If I want to use the Atem Mini to do sports streaming, is it possible to connect it to f.e. an iPad with cellular using an ethernet to usb-c adapter and then use the iPad both as the monitor for the Atem Mini as well as for the network to stream live?
Thanks for all the great info Aaron! Just ordered a PK-1 stand. Is there a way to use a USB C based iPad simply as the PROGRAM monitor from the ATEM HDMI Out? Thanks! ~Robert
Thanks! The only way I know of to do that would be with one of the wireless hdmi transmitters that has an iPad app for monitoring. CineEye has some like that
Q: I just got rid of internet in my building (was live streaming my wrestling show but attendance dropped because of the live stream) but everything is still connected to the router that they gave me.. but atem won't connect via Ethernet or wifi unless internet is active. Is that because of the box they gave me and should I just get a wifi router?
Quick question would it be possible to have a ethernet connection to the atem with the phone? I'm in an outdoor scenario with several modems trying to get the best bonded internet etc so I wouldnt want to add another RF ( I know it should be far apart but I think you know what i mean). There are lightning to RJ45 adapters this should be possible to directly connect the atem to my iphone 12 and run the mixeffect app? Edit: I'd need the mixeffect only to execute macros, is this possible with the app?
You can definitely give your phone a wired Ethernet connection. I'd recommend connecting your phone and ATEM to a network switch that your bonded internet is also connected to, basically creating your own small LAN for all your devices.
Hey Aaron, do you think that in future there could be a version of Live Chat Overlay for Vimeo, I love the feature that you created for TH-cam but wondered if there could be an 'open source' (forgive my tech language here) version which could be tweaked to configure for different streaming platforms?
Actually someone did exactly that! I published mine as open source, and Steve (who also made vdo.ninja) took it and added a bunch of features and platforms to it! github.com/steveseguin/social_stream
Yeah I'd consider that a pretty advanced use of it, and no need to go down that road until you get things set up well with just MixEffect by itself. Basically think of it as using Companion to press buttons inside of MixEffect. There's some things that MixEffect can do that the native Companion module for the ATEM doesn't support.
great video as always @Aaron ! did you know if the bug that sets the recording bitrate to 0 (when you connect a new controller) its still there? i suffered one time and ruined a work, since then i feared to connect other softwares when atem software control BM is running on...
FYI - If you use MixEffect to start a record or stream, it will notify you when there is a 0 bitrate set and NOT ALLOW you to record or stream until you fix it.
Question for everyone… is it better quality recording with an Atem Mini Pro directly into a San disk card or to OBS? Does the quality drop recording it to OBS?
I would definitely record straight to the SSD, since going through OBS means you're using your computer's CPU and also you're using the webcam out which has more contrast than the main recording and streaming in the ATEM
I don't know of any Android apps that are anywhere as good as this app. But you can also use this with an iPad Mini or iPod Touch, doesn't have to be a full on iPhone!
Macros run entirely inside the ATEM. Some of the apps let you run a macro that exists in the ATEM. The other, slightly different, version of a macro is using Companion to build buttons that do a bunch of things all at once.
I've been look for something like LiveApp thanks. Dumb question, with Companion & Stream Deck, do you need to have the stream deck connected to a computer & the computer on the same network just to use the emulator?
@@aaronpk it's just I've got a billion and one other things to sort out as well. Unfortunately for the foreseeable future an iPad is not on the cards. Though maybe a Surface Pro to use with the Windows app might be an option. Been considering one for other reasons anyway.

You have a great product. You are forcing me to buy a iPad or 2. Maybe even a apple air play.. Thank you both.
@@GTGTV Thank you! MixEffect also works on Macs with Apple Silicon processors (i.e. M1 or M2).

Now, THAT was most definetly the most useful vod of my day - Thank a lot! 👍👍👍
Another great video @Aaron Parecki!
1:20 "venue's network causing problems" I can't think of that ever happening in the last few days. :)
the irony is that I recorded this the week before I left for resolvecon!
Thank you for the great info! I will be looking at MixEffect. Appreciate your work and how you share information! Keep up the good work.
Fantastic video Aaron !!!!
Thank you!
Companion would also support a samsung tab or even a fire tablet for those that don't have an iOS device
Thanks as always
That means adding a android assistant to an ios device .😊

I wish you had highlighted cons as well.
FYI: The next version of MixEffect for iOS 16 will allow you to run the app in the background using a floating Picture in Picture window.
that's super cool
@@AdamTow That would be so cool. Thanks for update.
Very informative! Is there a way to do this from a different wifi connection in another state?
How to connect an ATEM mini pro to allow wireless control from an iPad - I'm new to the product understand a dedicate router is necessary. Thank you

LiveApp Pro seemed nice. Just exorbitantly expensive.

no not really, at that point you're better off looking at the yolobox th-cam.com/video/aS3nuoWMm7I/w-d-xo.html
I wish some of these ideas could work with a YoloBox Pro
Me too! You should write to yololiv to tell them this! I've been telling them this for years, but the more people who ask for it the better!
Have you found the Mix Effect software stable? So you really dont need to even use the Blackmagic software?
Yes it's really good! It can do even more than the blackmagic app can do!
Thanks for all the great info Aaron! Just ordered a PK-1 stand. Is there a way to use a USB C based iPad simply as the PROGRAM monitor from the ATEM HDMI Out? Thanks! ~Robert

Is this meant to be used without a PC or Mac, I’ve been looking for iOS only options
Yeah! MixEffect is an iOS complete replacement for the Mac/PC app! It's a great option!
Hi Aaron, have you tried PlayoutBee on a Mac? Thank you!
I'd be interested to know if these are available on Android and/or an android version of this video topic
Any good apps for Android?

@@aaronpk appreciate the quick response! Love the videos
Hi Aaron what model of ipad are you using in the video
This is the iPad Mini 6th gen! I like this size so much!
@@aaronpk Thank you
Aaron, thank you, any apps, etc, for android and Windows...?
Blackmagic's own app works on Windows. I haven't seen anything as good as MixEffect for Android tho.
@aaronpk Thank you, Aaron.
Would I be able to contact you privately for some advice on my Atem Mini Pro, please...?
👍🏾🙏🏾
Is there a way to do something like that on an andoid system?
I don't know of any Android apps that are anywhere as good as this app. But you can also use this with an iPad Mini or iPod Touch, doesn't have to be a full on iPhone!
thank you@@aaronpk
i just found a older ipad which i bought with a drone..sadly it is only ios 9.3 😞@@aaronpk
Can I use macros with these apps?

I've been look for something like LiveApp thanks. Dumb question, with Companion & Stream Deck, do you need to have the stream deck connected to a computer & the computer on the same network just to use the emulator?
You don't need a physical Stream Deck at all actually! You can use Companion entirely with the emulator alone!
If only there were good Android options... don't get me wrong it's amazing to see all this, but I'm on Android not iOS!
It's not unreasonable to buy an iPad just for these apps! You don't really need a controller iPad to be in the same ecosystem as your main devices!
@@aaronpk it's just I've got a billion and one other things to sort out as well. Unfortunately for the foreseeable future an iPad is not on the cards. Though maybe a Surface Pro to use with the Windows app might be an option. Been considering one for other reasons anyway.
fair enough! At least with Companion it's just a website so you can use it on any kind of tablet!
