We have completed our native ported app for the vMix Virtual Control Surface iPad App. This is the app that was known as vDesk, however due to copyright issues we changed the name. The old version of the app was compiled in a third party iOS compiler and the new app was recreated natively for iOS. The app has much better performance, far less resource usage and will develop more quickly moving into the future. We are starting an open BETA of the app for 30-60 days. Past purchasers of the vDesk app will receive a free upgrade when the full version is released shortly after the BETA. As of right now our focus is on the iOS version of the app but will releasing more information on the release of the PC version of the app in the near future. If you are interested in participating for the BETA, please send your iTunes email address to Seth@TheCloudMediaGroup.com. To install the app, you will need to install the TestFlight app in the App Store. TestFlight will install the app onto your iPad. Please submit any crashes or bugs to the email above.

I like this, clean and familiar. Just wish it was multi platform (Android/Windows).

Your iTunes ID is the Apple ID. It is the email that you use to purchase music or download apps on your iPad.

As we move forward in development, we are also looking for user input for feature requests. What features of the app would benefit your workflow and make the app more valuable to you for use?

When I get thing going, I can post my findings , but this is what most of vMix users are looking for, but for Windows PC...but so far, I finally got it to work, and it did what I wanted...It responded as an hardware switcher, just on touch screen.....I did not do much with it, as the iPad is not mine, and I was checking it with a friend for a live switching we did...it worked, but the Windows version is what is really needed so I can give far more feedback... Thanks

Hi,
Just letting everyone know this is the official standalone control surface app for vMix
and would encourage anyone interested in iOS control to join the Beta.
Regards,

This looks nice, but we have no iOS devices. I would think that you could build this for all platforms fairly quickly in LiveCode and compile for all platforms including HTML5. Creating the graphics would be the most work and that is already done. Live code is awesome, and easy. I have created controller apps for CasparCG in a day. I just don't have the time now. My 2 cents, Steve

My 2 cents, Steve I currently have a working beta for PC that I am doing a bit of finishing work on. I will be posting more information about this soon.

Integrate a soundboard that has multiple tabs and playlist would be nice.

Clicking that tiny cut button on the preview is a pain in the butt when watching 4 at a time.. lol.. so far thats the only annoyance to vmix..

Agreed. However Mitch a solution to above is to load the default shortcut template. Then your "qwerty" keys will load the inputs into preview for you. "asdfgh will cut to program and "zxcvbn" will fadde to program. Might tide you over in the short term.

Here are some updated screenshots for the updated interface. This version has an additional tab for the IP Address and connection status. If the app can no longer communicate with vMix, the app will change to the "Settings" tab and indicate that there is no longer a connection. There is also a new feature in the audio tab. If an input within vMix does not have an audio channel, the mute button and audio fader will disappear from the screen indicating the channel has no audio. There is still room for the beta if anyone is still interested. Send your email address to Seth@TheCloudMediaGroup.com and you will receive an invitation that will install the app.
