Mitti adds ATEM, HyperDeck, and NDI playback control
This article outlines the integration capabilities of the Mitti video playback software, detailing how it can interact with Blackmagic Design ATEM switchers and emulate a HyperDeck device. It also describes how Mitti can be triggered by an NDI receiver for playback control, with specific software version requirements for ATEM integration.
Key Takeaways
- Mitti can trigger playback when a connected ATEM switcher selects a given input, with actions including load next Cue, pause, or rewind.
- When a Cue ends with Pause at End, Mitti can send an ATEM Preview — or a specified input — to Program with CUT or AUTO.
- Mitti 2 supports the Blackmagic HyperDeck protocol, so ATEM Software Control can address it through the computer’s IP address.
- HyperDeck shuttle and scroll are not supported because Mitti cannot play videos backwards.
- Mitti can also trigger playback when its NDI Output is selected as Program, then respond when that NDI output is deselected.
Why It Matters
For operators already using Blackmagic and NDI gear, Mitti now has a clearer path into live switcher workflows: ATEM input selection can fire playback, HyperDeck protocol support lets ATEM Software Control treat Mitti like a device, and NDI can also act as a trigger. The bigger ecosystem signal is how much playback software is being wired into switcher control surfaces and network video routing rather than standing alone. One concrete detail to watch is the software gate: Mitti v2.8 requires ATEM Switchers 9.1, while earlier Mitti v2 builds require 8.6.
