Connect LiveApp to an ATEM Switcher** for more integration and Alpha Video Overlays! VIDEOCUE Organize your videos in custom playlists for fullscreen playback via HDMI. If connected to an ATEM Switcher “Autoplay” can be enabled for instant playback when cut to the connected channel. LiveApp cuts back to Preview at the end of the playlist. This makes video playback in your multicam livestream sessions extremely easy. For professional use cases there are a lot of additional powerful features.

To do this, start the Inbox Server in Settings and go to the local LiveApp website with any device on the network. Cross platform, from any web browser. OVERLAYS Set up a button grid with custom transparent videos, pictures or web applications for animated overlays. Different playback modes such as once, loop and split make it easy to generate professional overlays.

DRAW Use the fantastic drawing capabilities of iPad to draw over the video output. Either scribble over your VideoCue footage or annotate any ATEM input using the keyer technology. When connected to an ATEM a reference frame can be captured to ensure precise drawing results.
