A panel that displays the ATEM's Multiview in MixEffect, allowing you to tap to change inputs, swipe to cycle through media clips, and long-press to get additional options and controls. This provides a more approachable way for users, both beginning and advanced, to control their ATEM switcher using touch controls.
MixEffect can display up to four Multiview Switcher panels, depending on the number of Multiviews your ATEM switcher supports. For instance, the ATEM Constellation 8K and the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD support four Multiviews, whereas the ATEM Mini Extreme or the ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD only supports one.
