  Description     : Open Switcher is a control application for the Blackmagic
Design ATEM video switchers.

Open Switcher is a control application for the Blackmagic Design ATEM video
switchers. These are normally controlled with the propriatary Windows or Osx
application over a network connection. In some cases it's also possible to
control these switchers using hardware buttons but that doesn't expose the full
functionality of these mixers.

Switcher Control is a re-implementation that aims to be as close to the
supported features of ATEM Software Control as possible. Getting to 100%
compatabilty would be quite hard since it exposes quite a lot of extra
functionalities for specific models of mixers which would be technically
difficult to implement or hard to do due to lack of access to the more
expensive hardware.
