atemOSC is now Banyan AVBridge

Since 2012, atemOSC provided a simple way to control BlackMagicDesign ATEM switchers using the OSC protocol, unlocking endless possibilities. Now, we have rebranded atemOSC as AVBridge to bring this same simplicity and possibilities to other devices and protocols, including MIDI (finally) and HTTP. Banyan AVBridge, a re-branding of atemOSC and not a new app, is fully backwards-compatible with all OSC commands that atemOSC supported, and is even simpler to use than previous atemOSC versions with automatic device discovery and better in-app documentation.

If you were looking to pair atemOSC with OSCulator to use a MIDI hardware device to control an ATEM switcher or HyperDeck, we are happy to announce that AVBridge includes direct support for hardware MIDI controllers, doing away with the need for OSCulator for most use cases.

History of atemOSC

atemOSC was created in 2012 as a Mac OS X bridge to control a single ATEM switcher with TouchOSC. Since then, it has grown through 5 major versions:

  1. Version 2 (2017-2019) focused on adding OSC addresses to control more ATEM parameters
  2. Version 3 (2020) added basic BlackMagic HyperDeck support and even more parameter coverage
  3. Version 4 (2021-2022) added support for connecting to multiple switchers and controlling multiple mix effect blocks
  4. Version 5 (2023) added Windows & Linux support and significant improvements to HyperDeck control
  5. Version 5.1 (2024) added MIDI and HTTP support and the ability to control BlackMagic Web Presenters, leading to the rebranding to AVBridge since the application was no longer specific to either "atem" or "OSC"

The first 4 major versions were released for free on GitHub, but with limited and occasional support. Since version 5, atemOSC became a fully supported and licensed product. If you are still using earlier versions and don't want to upgrade to version 5, but still want to donate in support of continued development, you can do so here.
