BirdDog Maki LIVE Control Surface

The BirdDog Maki LIVE Control Surface turns an iPad into a real switcher. It connects over Bluetooth and gives you the physical controls a touchscreen cannot: six program and six preview source buttons, plus a T-bar for smooth manual transitions between shots.

It drives the free Maki Studio app for iPad, which adds a built-in HTML5 titler and NDI with transparency for lower-thirds and graphics. The controller is what activates the app, so the two work as a pair. The iPad is not included. BirdDog part number BDMK-CS.
