MixEffect Companion Module

This module will allow you to control a MixEffect instance running on iOS devices such as an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, etc.

Configuration

The MixEffect Companion Module requires that your MixEffect app is configured for OSC. This configuration includes:

1. Enabling OSC support within MixEffect Automation Settings,
2. Enabling the OSC server for the particular switcher you want to control, and
3. Setting a port number to the switcher's OSC server.

For more information see the Getting Started with OSC in MixEffect guide.

Once OSC is enabled on the MixEffect app you can proceed to configure this module. You will need:

1. the Target IP address (which is the IP of the iOS device running MixEffect), and
2. the Target Port (which is the port of the switcher's OSC server described above).

If you have the HTTP Feedback server enabled in your Switcher Connection in MixEffect and want to have feedback returned to Companion from your ATEM switcher, follow these steps:

1. Set the HTTP Server Port to the same HTTP Server Port value in your Switcher Connection entry in MixEffect.
2. Set the Polling Interval in milliseconds. The minimum time value should be 500, but you can increase this number if it leads to better performance in Companion.
