Strata Pro 4.00

Strata Pro Remote for BlackMagic Design ATEM Switchers provides advanced functionality for a professional video production setup, offering seamless control for an array of ATEM switchers, including the ATEM Television Studio, ATEM 1M/E, ATEM 2M/E, Production Studio 4K series, TelevisionStudio HD, and the ATEM Mini Series.

Strata directly connects to your ATEM switcher through WiFi and the switcher's network connection, eliminating the need for a separate computer.

The Pro version enhances the control capabilities by enabling access to primary buttons on ATEM Switchers, offering control of the second ME in ATEM 2M/E switchers, managing Aux Outputs and Audio, supporting external or network Midi control with devices such as Nanopad, incorporating macro functionality via Strata's built-in recordable macros, and compatibility with ATEM native macros. With version 6.8 of ATEM onwards, Strata Pro can also operate HyperDecks via ATEM Macros.

Please note that this app is specifically designed for BlackMagic Design-manufactured ATEM Switchers and requires iOS 8.1 or later and ATEM firmware versions ranging from 3.4 to 8.3. Channels 17-20 on the 2ME 4K switchers are not controllable.

It's crucial to ensure a stable WIFI network for Strata Pro to operate reliably due to the UDP-based control protocol's intolerance towards packet loss and network latency. Recommended Wi-Fi routers include Apple Airport models for optimal performance. Check the support page at http://www.gallery.co.uk/livepad/support.html for guidance on optimizing your Wi-Fi environment for Strata usage or to diagnose connectivity with the free "Strata View" app before use.

User feedback citing 'crashing' issues is frequently associated with disrupted Wi-Fi connections and not inherent flaws in the Strata app itself. An efficient low-latency, low-loss Wi-Fi environment is necessary for reliable operation considering ATEM's sensitivity to latency and packet loss. The latest Strata version implements improved handling of poor connections.
