USB View and More in MixEffect 2.1.0

[@robertworden8559]

Adam, for the seocnd time in less than a month I utilized MixEffects using my IPhone and IPad along with my Windows Control computer to remotely control macro selection, aux controls and overall switcher operation remotely. It never failed, it provided me tremendous flexibity and access to show automation which I could access anywhere-anytime. Superb design, thoughtful logic and most important, wonderful survivability and reliability. Keep up the fantastic work. You save me a world of hurt and valuable time.

[@AdamTow]

That’s great! Glad the app is working out for you! Happy switching!

[@infinitivideo5168]

Just purchased the app, still learning how to operate. But already love it, you put so much effort even to small details!

[@AdamTow]

Great to hear! Happy switching!

[@plrpilot]

Incredible, Adam! Thank you so much for your hard work on this. Your work actually makes complex ATEM work fun and usable in many more ways than what BM puts out by default. I've got both the ATEM mini and ATEM Constellation 2M/E. I'll give them a go tonight.

[@AdamTow]

You’re welcome! Let me know how it goes!

[@gil_carter]

Fantastic updates Adam - thanks! I already use MixEffect in my switching/streaming setup, these enhancements in 2.1.0 will be super useful

[@AdamTow]

You're welcome. Looking forward to seeing how you use it in practice!

[@JamesSherlouk]

So glad you heard my pleas for USB viewing! Was a natural fit as soon as Apple added support. So much easier with this update to know what you're switching to, and love the compatibility with custom overlays.

[@AdamTow]

I know it took a long time, but I am now in a better position to adopt new features. Enjoy!

[@JamesSherlouk]

​@@AdamTowNever a problem, just super glad you got around to it no matter the time taken. Thanks for the incredible work! Love the app.

[@EmeraldAudiovisual]

The majority of HDMI captures need an OTG adapter or a USB hub anyway, otherwise iPadOS won't pick up on them. Great update as always.

[@vincentbellec1836]

you should buy blackmagic and make theire atem control mutch more usable with a push of a boton ;) your program is so amazing How did they still didint come to this yet !

[@AdamTow]

Tell that to Blackmagic! I'll listen to an offer!

[@ludwi970]

Thank you very much Adam. Great value for money from the start, and now all these upgrades too!!

[@AdamTow]

You bet! If you don't mind, can you leave a rating and review on the App Store? Thanks!

[@jonf671]

Wow! Nice job adam! With the atem update it will be even better!

[@AdamTow]

Yes! I hope they bring the configurable USB-out to all ATEMs. BMD was a little unclear as to which switchers aside from the Extremes would get it.

[@JamesSherlouk]

@@AdamTow Do you think it will still only be one MV per Extreme? (but can be outputted via USB instead of HDMI) or a slim chance it'll be a second/additional MV?

[@AdamTow]

Not sure on the exact details. The options were under the Output menu, but I don’t recall if there were two USB-C outputs. We’ll see!

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Nice job Adam!✌

[@JJPDESIGNS]

This is a great addition! Will it work with an iPad that is not USB-C?

[@AdamTow]

Unfortunately not. Apple did not extend support for external cameras to iPads with the legacy Lightning connector.

[@ludwi970]

Hello Adam, great upgrade!! Can you comfirm that this works on a base iPad 2022 to? I”m not sure because that iPad just has the USB 2 connection speed. Checks all the other boxes though. I bought the iPad 2022 especially for MixEffect usb-view at just 374€ (arrives next week).

[@AdamTow]

Tt should work even over USB 2.0. The amount of data sent by a 1080p capture card should not be enough to saturate the USB 2.0 connection.

[@ludwi970]

@@AdamTow Thanks for your quick reaction. High expectations (got it to work on my iPad mini 6 today). Tommorow I will try the iPad 2022.

[@ludwi970]

Yep, works on base iPad 2022 (10th gen) 👍🙏🔝🚀!!!!

[@AdamTow]

@@ludwi970 good! let me know how the app performs in general on the base iPad!

[@felixsun2116]

Keep the content coming!

[@TomQsTechTips]

I'm excited about Mac Catalyst! Not sure why :-) but it seems like good news for us Mac MixEffect users.

[@AdamTow]

There's currently not much different between the previous version and the first Mac Catalyst version, but I hope to improve it more in the future.

[@DeanBushmiller]

Adam- suggestion ?i use a wireless hdmi out from hollyland/ hollyview- which might be ???? Connected instead of wiring usb to hdmi-IDK if that will get us closer to your perfect app- i love your tool

[@AdamTow]

This may not work because the Hollyland transmitters create their own Wi-Fi network and have a proprietary app that does not appear to be open for third-parties to access. If anything, getting MixEffect to accept NDI connections may be better, but that's not currently on the roadmap at the moment.

[@charleshoughton]

Thank you for your great work. Adam.

[@Officialflymedia]

Adam this is awesome, will defect work with streamyard?

[@AdamTow]

What do you mean by work with Streamyard?

[@Officialflymedia]

@@AdamTow if I wanted to multicam live stream with streamyard, using mixeffect to cut between cameras based on video follow audio. Would that work? Essentially I want to livestream using streamyard, and instead of having a producer or someone operating the atem pro I want to have mix effect do it. So I can live stream and also record a copy of that to put out on all platforms. Thank you for your quick response btw. I really appreciate it

[@AdamTow]

@@OfficialflymediaMixEffect can’t stream out by itself (and no plans to add that). You would have to have the ATEM stream what’s being produced to Streamyard. You could use ISO record to record all the footage for later editing. Then you can use VFA to do all of your switching based on audio levels. I would definitely test it out before you let the system handle things automatically. You may need to step in every so often too.

[@Officialflymedia]

@@AdamTow copy, but mixeffect would do the switching between cameras, and what’s being produced would be sent out from the atem to streamyard

[@AdamTow]

@@Officialflymediain that it should be fine.

[@johndyson7883]

Is there any latency advantage of using for example El Gato capture card or any other cheaper brand?

[@AdamTow]

Good question. I think the higher end capture cards will reproduce the colors better and be faster to respond. But, since this the general use case for USB View is for displaying the Multiview, I don't think those things matter as much (at least for me they don't).

[@safetyhomeloans950]

Hello Adam, do we know when we can expect a future release that would allow ATEM mini Pro ISO users the ability to wirelessly not only control the switcher but most importantly SuperSource the various HDMI inputs from the ATEM Mini Pro ISO? thank you. Again currently using iPad 7th Gen. If and when ever it gets release please reach out and take my money PLEASE! :). My main reason for these request is that like most of the user here, we are a 1 man show and so I would like the availitiy to wireless switch camera angles when hosting a podcast with my studio guest, without having the ATEM right next to me and or any cables showing on the shot.

[@AdamTow]

I'll respond over in the 2.1.1 video, since you posted the same question there.

[@hyperactive009]

Thans for the video. What is the difference between MixEffect with inapp pro upgrade purchase and the Mixeffect pro app ?

[@AdamTow]

From a functionality standpoint, nothing. Free to download version gives the option of a 30-day trial. Paid up-front version is for people who want to buy it immediately or do not have the ability to do In-App Purchases. mixeffect.app/pro-explanation/

[@reddevillamps]

Adam, thank you for your videos! Pls, We are manufacture Lightboards. I need your help, how can I Horizontal image flipping via MixEffect (Atem Mini pro) realtime ? Now we are forced to use an additional device (MD-HX Decimator) after the camera - very expensive. It’s for the correct displaying inscriptions on glass of video stream ) Very Thanks foe answer!

[@AdamTow]

You can’t do this in MixEffect. I suppose an app could take in a video signal via an hdmi to usb adapter like the app, flip it, and then output it via the hdmi out from a usb-c hub. There will be a delay and color shift depending on the adapters being used. Decimator will be more reliable.

[@reddevillamps]

@@AdamTow a lot of thanks, Adam

[@mustimusti473]

Great Update, do i need a Special USB C Dongle? My Anker one doesnt Show any Picture from the Atem...Do the USB C Adapter do IN and Output? My iPad shows a USB Adapter attached but no View on the iPad:( Thanks for your help...

[@AdamTow]

USB Hubs only do output. You'll need an HDMI to USB dongle. Do you have the exact model number of the Anker one? I have a recommended model that I use here: docs.mixeffect.app/configure/external-camera-support#hdmi-to-usb-adapter

[@thaduccman]

Will this run on macos Ventura ?

[@AdamTow]

Yes, MixEffect runs on Ventura, but the USB View may only be available on Sonoma and higher.

[@jancarsonweatherby1579]

Hmmm... currently I have my ATEM Constellation 1 4K connected to my IPAD Pro, over ethernet. So, If I connect this way to get USB View, with this new cables-converters, etc., do I still get full connection/control of my switcher via iPad, or do I have to make that connection happen wirelessly via Wi-Fi? And what about the USB webcam connection on the back of the switcher? Does Mix Effect utilize that at all?

[@AdamTow]

USB View and controlling ATEM from USB has no effect in Ethernet connection. You should be able to use other network devices to control the ATEM. USB View via direct USB connection can be combined.

[@jancarsonweatherby1579]

@AdamTow, ideally I would like to have a single usbc cable connecting the switcher to the iPad and have multi view along with control of the switcher without any additional hardware. Are you saying I can do that?

[@AdamTow]

@@jancarsonweatherby1579 Yes, this will work. You may need to use a USB-C to USB-A from the ATEM and use a USB-A to USB-C adapter into the iPad for this to work. I would recommend using a USB-C hub with the iPad because you'll be able to power it (and you can plug a USB-C to USB-A cable from the ATEM to USB-C hub). This only works on iPads with USB-C or Thunderbolt connectors.

[@jancarsonweatherby1579]

@AdamTow is there a specific reason the signal has to convert from USB-C to USB-A and back again? And is there a reason, besides powering the iPad, to use a hub at all?

[@AdamTow]

@ something about which device decides to be the host. By using the adapter, one of the devices becomes the host and the other becomes the accessory.

[@JohnKagu]

I have Mix effect on my iPad do I need to buy a new one for my mac? If not how do I sync to the one i bought?

[@AdamTow]

Make sure you download the correct version of MixEffect (free to download with Pro IAP) or MixEffect Pro (paid up front version) with the same AppleID that you used with iPad purchase. If you have (1). Use Restore purchases in MixEffect Settings. Content will sync via iCloud to your Mac like SuperSource presets, swither connections, streaming profiles, etc. Other MixEffect settings (gear icon) are configured on a device by device basis. mixeffect.app/pro-explanation/

[@safetyhomeloans950]

do these feature work exactly the same if one is running an ATEM MIINI PRO ISO? and can you recommend a video showing how to use the feature were it automatically switches using the audio meters please. I look forward to making your app purchase, hopefully I can run all these feature using my current PRO ISO

[@AdamTow]

Yes, USB View will work fine on the ATEM Mini Pro ISO just like in the video. I have a short video on Video Follows Audio at the end of this video: MixEffect Tutorial - SuperSource, Macros, Switcher Pages, Video Follows Audio, and More! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6u8iJyGpM2lhsk See the description for the timestamp to jump to VFA.
