I was really surprised to see the video mixer hack in the forum.
I started to check out the ATem Video Mixer SDK and wondered: Can I build a cv/Gate to AtemApi mapping in form of a eurorack module. That could easily open digital 1080 land and make use of the atem for all the stuff it can offer via api.
Stuff that would be cool:
- switching scenes based on a ācvā index.
- switching scenes gate by gate
- change values for chroma and other keys
- change masks
- general masking shenennigans
Thing is: Looking at the late 90ies videomixer we were using in clubs, the featureset of a mid level atem reads comparable, just in 1080p with horrible UI. Used as a automation platform ā¦
Maybe this is a place to get some input for a good starter or generally mew ideas.
