Does anyone have experience with HDKATOV?
I came across this one: https://streamoptics.de/...or-blackmagic-atem-vmix.
Looks very impressive, but I can’t find a single review.

I only found a simple tutorial from the company itself:

If you cannot find any other info, then maybe that's a sign to stay away.

Released Oct. 10 2025 according to their own web site so it's new. Not surprising no one can tell you much about it yet.

And a humongous price increase from the pricing I saw on the early pages. Can't find those now so maybe the early price was for beta testers.

I only found a simple tutorial from the company itself:


We recently just started selling these through their US Distributor and also using them on our own productions (we have been making the swap from another software platform). I personally bought one for our truck setup and while it's still very new to us, so far I'm a fan of it. There are a few headaches to work around like any piece of hardware, but overall I'm fairly happy with it. It works either as a midi controller for vmix or also through Bitfocus Companion. And last I was told, a new firmware update is either available or should be coming soon to enable Central Control protocol on the device.

If you're looking to get one, we'll be glad to get one to you!
