# Mix Effect Buses

Some ATEM switchers feature multiple Mix Effects Buses, including:

* ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K
* ATEM 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K
* ATEM Constellation 8K
* ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD
* ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD

When you go to the Switcher section, you will see a segmented picker showing the currently selected Mix Effects Bus and the available ones. Tap on a Mix Effect Bus to switch to it.

### Switching Mix Effect Buses in Other Sections

If you are in the Transition, DVE, or SuperSource sections, a Mix Effects Bus picker will appear in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. Tapping will display a list of all ME buses for your switcher, and choosing one will set the currently active ME bus.&#x20;

Remember this when returning to the Switcher section that your Mix Effect Bus may have changed if you selected a different one from one of these sections.
