ATEM Software Control 2 Instances ?

PostSat May 23, 2020 10:11 am

I have both an ATEM Mini Pro and an ATEM Mini connected to my laptop.

Is it possible to open 2 instances of ATEM Software Control to work on both ATEMs via the same laptop?

On a Mac you can only run one instance of the ATEM software so you would need a second computer, not 100 sure on Windows.
The other option would be to look at something like bitfocus companion which can control multiple devices from a single interface.

I tried to open a 2nd instance on Windows without success.

But why?
Each ATEM has its own unique IP address on the net, so there shouldn't be any conflicts while running 2 or more instances.

Udo : Its really complicated .. Why not use free Companion ? Buy streamdeck to it and U will be happy .. U can add 10 atems , if u need .. and control it ..

A Streamdeck is on the list anyways, Roman.
Companion is running already and can be used without a Streamdeck as well.

But still having as many instances of ATEM Software Control on the same machine as there are ATEMs connected would make life much easier.

Either that or allow one instance to open additional windows with each pointing to a different ATEM...
