## Description

Strata View can be used as a camera tally for ATEM Vision Mixers and also to test connectivity prior to purchase of Strata Pro or Strata Lite.

Strata View Remote Display for BlackMagic Design ATEM Switchers, including ATEM Television Studio, ATEM 1M/E, ATEM 2M/E, Production Studio 4K and 1M/E / 2M/E Production Studio 4K, TelevisionStudio HD and ATEM Mini series

* Camera operators can use this to monitor when they are on air without risk of accidentally making a switch change. 

* Strata View connects directly to your ATEM switcher via Wifi and your switcher's network connection. It does not require a separate computer. 

* Strata View allows display of the status of your ATEM switcher program and preview busses.

NOTE: If you require *control* of your ATEM switcher, you should select Strata Lite or Strata Pro from the App Store instead of Strata View.  Strata requires iOS 8.1 or later and ATEM firmware version 3.4, thru 8.3 Firmware.

IMPORTANT: The control protocol uses UDP and is fairly intolerant to packet loss and network latency. It is very important to have a reliable, responsive WIFI network for Strata to work reliably. Wifi router performance varies between vendors, and best results have been shown with Apple Airport wifi routers. Some 3rd party routers have shown to be unreliable due to latency or UDP packet loss.  See  http://www.gallery.co.uk/livepad/support.html for more details on optimising your Wifi environment for Strata.

## Review summary

Users praise Strata View for displaying live camera activity and serving as a tally light, useful for live events without expensive hardware. However, reliability varies: several reviews report connection failures, crashes after connection, and unresponsive controls. When it works, it’s a valuable viewer, but stability across devices and ATEM configurations remains a concern.

### Pros

- Tally light functionality showing live cameras for operators.
- Displays active cameras/status and works as a straightforward viewer (shows what cameras are active).
- Proven helpful in live event scenarios, offering a cost-effective tally/communication aid for camera crews.

### Cons

- Connectivity issues: multiple reports of failing to connect to the ATEM or IP network.
- Crashes after connecting to the ATEM switcher are reported by some users.
- UI or input controls can be unresponsive or not read inputs even when connected.
