The problem

You bought an ATEM.
You bought a Stream Deck.
They don't talk to each other.

  • Switching cameras means moving to ATEM Software Control mid-stream
  • No way to set up automatic cuts without expensive hardware
  • Can't see what's live and what's in preview at a glance
  • Audio-based camera switching doesn't exist on ATEM Mini
  • Every cut costs you focus during your show
What it does

Every button does something real.

✂️
CUT & Fade

Instant CUT or configurable Mix crossfade. Set the fade duration. Hit the button. Done.

🎥
Camera control

Send any camera to Preview with one press. Buttons turn green on preview, red when live. Set your ATEM IP once — every button shares it automatically.

⏺
REC & STREAM

Dedicated record and stream toggle buttons. Red when active, dark when off.

⏱
Auto Director

Automatic cuts on a randomized timer with per-camera dwell times. Natural, not robotic.

Pro
🎤
Audio Director

Detects who's speaking via your audio interface and cuts to the right camera automatically. Auto-installs Python dependencies on first run — no setup needed.

Pro
🖼
Media Player

Load stills into MP1 and send to preview in one press. Shows which still is loaded on the button.

In the wild

Looks like this on your deck.

Audio Director

It knows who's talking.
It cuts to them.

Connect your Zoom L8 (or any multi-channel audio interface) and ATEMdirector listens to each mic individually. When someone speaks, their camera goes live — automatically.

Assign up to 2 microphones per camera. Your establishing shot enters automatically every 30–60 seconds. Full hands-free directing.
