Use cases
Here's a peek at some of the ways to control your ATEM with atemOSC.
iPad
In combination with TouchOSC, you can create, configure and control a custom layout for operating your ATEM. The beauty of this system is that you have complete control over what your control panel looks like.
MIDI panel
If you prefer a more tactile approach to your control panel, you can pick up just about any MIDI panel - and in combination with OSCulator - you can control your ATEM.
