Analog Way

NeXtage 16

NXT1604

Analog Way's LiveCore seamless switcher, for screens that want layers, scaling and more sources than an ATEM can take.

You run it from Analog Way's Web RCS in a browser, or from openRCS, the LiveCore control surface I wrote, which also has a Companion module for Stream Deck.
