Workflow Fit

Choose the control panel by the show actions you need to repeat.

ATEM and Companion workflows are strongest when the hardware surface follows the show flow: camera cuts, overlays, recording, streaming, graphics, and macro actions that operators repeat every production.

Best for

  • Teams that use ATEM, Companion, vMix, OBS, or MIDI actions during live production.
  • Operators who want tactile buttons for repeatable show moments instead of mouse-driven control.
  • Churches, studios, classrooms, and event teams that need a cleaner small-team control desk.

Not ideal for

  • Teams that only need dedicated PTZ camera joystick control.
  • Workflows where the switcher, audio feed, or streaming path is not stable yet.
  • Productions that have no repeatable show flow or macro plan.
