SuperSource
MixEffect makes it easy for you to become a SuperSource expert on the ATEM Mini Extreme, ATEM Mini Extreme ISO, and the ATEM Constellation 8K.
Enjoy beautiful transitions when switching between SuperSource layouts — no macros required. Use drag and drop to rearrange your boxes. Save your favorite preset layouts and share them with others. Run macros when recalling and exiting selected presets.
