The Accsoon SeeMo Pro SDI ($349 USD) that I recently reviewed on the site is now shipping. In addition, you can now use the SeeMo HDMI or SeeMo Pro SDI to view the output of the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini in the DirectorMonitor iOS app. This means your iPad or iPhone can now be used for full touch control and display of an ATEM Mini without the need for additional monitors, just the SeeMo Pro. If you're not familiar with the Accsoon SeeMo Pro SDI, it transforms any recent iPad or iPhone into a professional HD monitor and imaging platform. The SeeMo Pro offers SDI input and pass-thru, plus HDMI input, allowing it to be used with a wide range of digital cinema and mirrorless hybrid cameras. When paired with iOS devices, the SeeMo Pro image can rival pro monitors that cost much more.

DirectorMonitor Control for ATEM Mini DirectorMonitor from Odeon Software Inc. uses SeeMo in conjunction with an iPad or iPhone to monitor and control the multiple video inputs of a Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini video switcher. The ATEM Mini MultiView, Program / Preview out, or one of the ATEM's video inputs is displayed next to the iPad/iPhone touchscreen controls of the DirectorMonitor app in the app interface. You no longer need extra monitors to live stream, just the ATEM Mini, SeeMo, cameras and an iPad or iPhone. This solution is portable, cost-effective and easy to power using batteries. It's so portable that it can even be used to create a simple multiview surveillance setup for use on set. You can also add Accsoon's PowerCage II and CineView wireless video transmitters to complete the installation. The main features of DirectorMonitor include:

- Control of the primary control buttons of the ATEM Mini
- Control of the macro buttons of the ATEM Mini
- Viewing any 1080p video source using the Accsoon SeeMo
- The Video In is configured to recognize the ATEM Mini's MultiView to enable the following push button controls:
- Tap the MultiView panel to select the current preview

- The DirectorMonitor interface displays the output of an ATEM Mini Extreme through an Accsoon SeeMo. In addition, the DirectorMonitor can also:
