  1. Configure

Settings

Tap the gear icon in the upper-left hand corner when in the MixEffect Home to access the Settings page.

MixEffect Pro

If you are using the free-to-download version of MixEffect and have not yet purchased the In-App Purchase (IAP) for MixEffect Pro, the following buttons will be shown here:

  • Start 30-Day Trial

  • Unlock MixEffect Pro

  • Restore Purchases

If you have already purchased the MixEffect Pro (IAP), a Tip Jar button will appear. Help support the continued development of MixEffect by leaving a tip.

NOTE: If you have purchased the MixEffect Pro IAP, you will need to return to Settings and choose Restore Purchases if you ever reset MixEffect's settings.

If you purchased the paid up-front version of MixEffect Pro, the Tip Jar option will appear at the top of the MixEffect Settings screen.

Connection

  • Auto-Reconnect

  • Enable ATEM Simulator

  • Enable View Only Mode

  • Enable Kiosk Mode

Auto-Reconnect

Tries to connect to the last connected switcher every five seconds if disconnected. It will make a maximum of three reconnect attempts before stopping.

Enable ATEM Simulator

Turns on a simulated ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K switcher (with three additional dummy M/E buses) that you can use to play around with MixEffect. You will be able to change the program and preview bus, but other actions will have no visual effect in MixEffect. It's a simulated ATEM after all!

Enable View Only Mode

This sets up MixEffect in a viewing mode, suitable for handing off the device to someone.

Enabling it will reveal an orange banner at the top of the screen. After dismissing the Settings sheet, you will notice that you can drill down into more sections within MixEffect, but you cannot interact with the controls.

Tap the orange banner to authenticate with Face ID to disable View Only Mode.

Refer to the section in Security for more details on View Only Mode.

Enable Kiosk Mode

Kiosk mode makes several changes to the MixEffect interface:

  • Removes the Switcher Section, Switchers, and Streaming Services lists from the main navigation screen.

  • Connects to the last connected ATEM switcher.

  • Opens to the default Switcher Section defined in the Switcher Connection page.

  • Disables keyboard shortcuts

The goal of Kiosk Mode is to transform MixEffect into a single page application. Want to have a dedicated switching view? Customize your Switcher Page, set the Switcher section as the default section, and enable Kiosk Mode.

Using Guided Access to Prevent Disabling Kiosk Mode

You can use the Guided Access feature iOS and iPadOS to force MixEffect to be the only application the device can run. You can disable touch areas, so the user cannot press the gear icon to go to the Settings page. If you have set up a specific Switcher Page, you can disable the touch target for the Switcher Page menu in the upper-right corner of the interface.

Other Settings to Use With Kiosk Mode

You may want to enable the following settings when running MixEffect in Kiosk Mode:

  • Auto-Reconnect: Enable this setting to cause MixEffect to continue trying to connect to the ATEM switcher if it does not find it immediately. MixEffect will stop trying to connect after 3 failed attempts.

  • Automations: You can choose to disable automations so MixEffect cannot be operated via Shortcuts or OSC.

  • Live Stream or Record Streaming / Disable Long Press in Output Panel: Enable this to prevent the user from navigating to the Output section when long-pressing on buttons in the Live Stream, Record Stream, or Output Switcher Panels in the Switcher section.

  • Advanced / Unlimited Auto-Reconnect Attemps: By default, MixEffect will stop trying to connect to the switcher after several attempts. Enabling this setting will cause MixEffect to continue to try to connect to the ATEM switcher.

  • Advanced / Hide Update Banner: Enable this to prevent the update banner from appearing when using MixEffect.

  • Advanced / Use Custom Back Buttons: Enable this to change the way navigation works for sub-pages in Audio, Macros, Media, Transitions, Upstream Keyers, Downstream Keyers, SuperSource, Color Generators, and Settings.
