Free Wireless Tally Light for ATEM Mini
ATEM Mini's built-in tally only works on your local WiFi network. Cue Light works over the internet — talent, remote guests, and second shooters all get tally on any phone. Free. 30 seconds to set up.
ATEM Mini models — all supported
Cue Light has no direct connection to ATEM Mini — there's nothing to configure. It runs independently on the same laptop as ATEM Software Control. The TD taps Live when they cut cameras.
