Elgato has some new toys. It looks like you can configure the buttons as you like.

If I understand it well, you can also upload custom icons. So you could take a screenshot of every shot, downsize it to 72x72 pixels, and upload it to the controller.

This way, you have a visual representation of every shot on every button.

For a 5 camera production this doesn't look bad if it works as advertised :)

You could use Bome Midi Translator Pro, and turn the ouputs into Midi Signals.

Maybe to be able to keep it working when vMix is not the in focus application on windows.
Normally when using keyboard shortcuts and you use a mouse to do something in another application, you lose the shortcuts until vMix is selected to be in focus.

It is really easy to design your own control panel by the way, get a teensy, some lighted buttons like the adafruit 16mm ones, wires, resistors and depending on the number of buttons you want, shift registers. After some funtime drilling a housing and soldering, you can program it with easy code using the arduino ide with teensy plugin. Tell the IDE it is a midi device and the only thing needed is write code to read the inputs and send a midi command if a button is pressed. Also make it read midi so activators can light the leds.
I have made some small panels with 4 lighted buttons on them to put on a desk so clients can switch between 4 inputs, while being as simple as it can be.

Whow! Can't wait :P

Sounds great has there been any update on the driver you spoke about Sondrey? Would be great to have active animations for the live camera, really loving the stream deck so far, got it hooked up along with a apem t-bar and it works a treat.

Hey Steve,

Yeah of course, its actually a adaptation of a potentiometer project using a teensy board to convert the signals into a midi controller. Just follow this though:

Then instead of wiring up the pot switch it out for the atem t-bar (theres a guy on ebay doing a decent one for £50 at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/it...418:g:RiQAAOSwcLxYEcpB). Just make sure to solder the wire ordering correct so it matches the schematics of the tbar as its different to the pot.

Once your done just hook the teensy board up to the pc, pop vmix open and it should show up as a midi device, just assign the teensy board as SetFader shortcut and it should let you fade back and forth just like the x-keys tbar.

@RickyTerzis if you uses midi controller always work , if vmix is not in focus also work

Any news?

I use a Korg Nano Controller, 9 channels each with fader, three buttons and a knob, plus transport control, use MIDI mapping and stick on labels:

Whats really cool about this is that we just migrated from an adhoc systme, but I can use the same MIDI controls, just reassigned for Vmix, so no muscle memory issues for the one man show, or you could use this for more controls.

I'd like to see if there is more news on this too. I've picked one up on the pretense vMix will be supporting it.
