Does this only work with Blackmagic's ATEM switchers via internet connection? There is no offline option?
Asked by: Michael
The Switchblade Systems VMC12 Control Panel for vMix and Blackmagic Design ATEM will need to be connected either to a computer (for Vmix control) or to a Blackmagic Switch, via ethernet (IP connection via RJ45 LAN), which could be connected through a local area network, but does not have to be connected to internet to function.
