Strata Pro Remote for BlackMagic Design ATEM Switchers, including ATEM Television Studio, ATEM 1M/E, ATEM 2M/E, Production Studio 4K, 1M/E Production Studio 4K, 2M/E Production Studio 4K, TelevisionStudio HD, ATEM Mini Series. Strata connects directly to your ATEM switcher via Wifi and your switcher's network connection. It does not require a separate computer. PRO VERSION: This Pro version includes control of all the primary buttons on ATEM Switchers including control of the second ME in ATEM 2M/E switchers, control of Aux Outputs and Audio. Pro also supports external or network Midi control supporting devices such as Nanopad, and also adds macro capability to ATEM Switchers with Strata's built in recordable macros, and also ATEM native macros. Using v6.8 of ATEM and later, Strata Pro can even control attached HyperDecks through ATEM Macros. FEATURES: * Control Program and Preview Busses * Cut and Auto Transition Control * Control On-Air of Upstream and Downstream Keys * Control Selection of Next Transition Actions * Transition Preview * TBar Control * Fade To Black * Select Transition Style * Connection Indicator with auto-reconnect * Control of Aux Outputs * Control of Audio Faders and Metering * Configurable Midi Control of all buttons * Recordable Macros - internally and using Link to BMD Atem Software Panel * Trigger native Atem macros, including HyperDeck Control * Step through Stills in Media Player 1 NOTE: This app is not designed for older ATEM Switchers not manufactured by BlackMagic Design. Requires iOS 8.1 or later and ATEM 3.4, thru 8.3 Firmware. Channels 17-20 on 2ME 4K are not controllable. IMPORTANT: The control protocol uses UDP and is fairly intolerant to packet loss and network latency. It is very important to have a reliable, responsive WIFI network for Strata Pro to work reliably. Wifi router performance varies between vendors, and best results have been shown with Apple Airport wifi routers. Some 3rd party routers have shown to be unreliable due to latency or UDP packet loss. See http://www.gallery.co.uk/livepad/support.html for more details on optimising your Wifi environment for Strata. If you are concerned about your WIFI check connectivity to your ATEM first with the free "Strata View" app. Some reviews have mentioned 'crashing' -note that in all cases examined this is due to an unreliable WIFI environment and *not* a problem with the Strata app itself. You *will* need a suitable low latency, low loss WIFI environment if you wish to connect to an ATEM using WIFI - this is due to the ATEM's intolerance of latency and packet loss. The new version of Strata will handle poor connections much more elegantly. Please read all the information at the support site before assuming that Strata is at fault. http://www.gallery.co.uk/livepad/support.html Independent Review of this app at: http://www.studiotech.tv/st59strata/ ## Key features - Program and Preview Bus Control - Transition and Key Control - Aux Output and Audio Control - MIDI and Macro Control - HyperDeck Integration - Wi-Fi Connection Indicator ## Recent user reviews (10 of 31) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/strata-pro/id593898289/reviews.md ### 5/5 — 10+ years of usage!! *2025-01-05* 10+ years of usage!! It’s a great app, superb stability! ### 1/5 — Paid Advets *2023-06-04* The app works great but the ad’s are in the way and easy to hit and off you go to an ad. There shouldn’t be ad’s in a paid app and sure should Not be where it can be hit while working the app! **Developer response:** Hello Lynbig. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. In fact its not an advert, its simply trying to load the Strata Logo JPG, but the domain its using to get the URL has been deleted, so its showing an error and if you click you get to a domain holding page. This issue will be resolved quickly with a new release. Thanks again. ### 1/5 — Ads in paid software? *2023-03-12* I paid for this app. Why am I also getting ads? With the tight UI, I have more than once hit the ad, trying to hit a button. I will find another way to control my ATEM switcher. **Developer response:** Hello TomXP411. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. In fact its not an advert, its simply trying to load the Strata Logo JPG, but the domain its using to get the URL has been deleted, so its showing an error and if you click you get to a domain holding page. This issue will be resolved quickly with a new release. Thanks again. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas avec ATEM v8.5.3 *2021-02-01* L’appli fonctionnait très bien avec un ATEM 2ME en version 6.x Ne fonctionne plus depuis la mise à jour vers le soft en 4ME version 8.5.3 : certains entrées ne sont plus affichées, d’autres ont des labels bizarres (M3K2 ??). J’attends une mise à jour de l’appli avec impatience !! ### 1/5 — Not connecting. And not WiFi issue. *2021-01-18* Hello, please assist with setting up, as I purchased other software on this tablet and they work well after asking for similar credentials as what this one asks for. Namely IP address, some even ask for port number and password. Are there cases where this wouldn’t work even with strong WiFi? Thank you ### 5/5 — Audio mic control does not work *2021-01-17* I purchased the pro version because I wanted to control my mic inputs on the atem mini pro. I can control the audio on cameras 3 and 4 only; I cannot control any other audio. The video works well; however, I purchased the app mainly for sound control. I sent a few emails and I am waiting to hear back on this. Wow! Mic control was just fixed; it works great now. That was a really quick fix, ### 2/5 — Works, kind of, but not really for the price, free version a better idea. *2020-10-23* I cannot get Strata Pro to have audio control for my ATEM switchers (I have 3). I have written the developer for assistance and have gotten no reply. Feels like support for this app may be gone. I would recommend spending your money elsewhere. I will try to update my review if I get any response/solution from developer. **Developer response:** Hello Mrray. We do not appear to have received any request for support from you. Perhaps try again using the contact address at the web site: http://livepad.co.uk/support.html Strata is fully and actively supported. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore. *2020-08-30* I bought the STRATA pro app for $50 and it worked good for a while and a few months ago it stopped working. When I try to type in the IP address it doesn’t stay there, I’ve tried everything but there is no way to “save” the IP. If I click on settings or “return” on my keyboard it goes back blank once I click on settings again. Recently I bought STRATA Macro (another $50) thinking maybe this app will work fine but it has the same problem. If the developer team is going to look at the comment (or for the readers) I went from at 192.168 type of IP to a 10.1.10 type of IP address. I do not think that should have any difference for the app because all the other apps (even the free trial ones) work fine with this new IP address. I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that the development team looks into this problem and fixes it because I practically threw $50 down the drain (I will not say the same about the STRATA PRO app because I was able to use it for a while). If the development team looks into this problem and fixes it I will change this review. **Developer response:** Hello Anatoli This review system is not for requesting tech support. Please contact us using the address from the support page at http://livepad.co.uk/support.html. From your comments we would suggest completely deleting then reinstalling the app and making sure your iPad can ping the switcher on the new address. There is info about this at the support page. ### 4/5 — Nice *2019-04-02* Very useful app. But one idea for improvement: Ability to select media in media pool. ### 1/5 — 1.70にアップデートしたら使えなくなりました *2017-11-06* 1.50に戻したいです。。。 **Developer response:** Hi manly Please contact us for assistance using the address at the website: livepad.co.uk/support.html ## Frequently asked questions about Strata Pro ### What ATEM switchers does Strata Pro support?
