# mimoLive Features Source: https://mimolive.com/technology/features/ Last updated: 2024-10-01 Section: Technology ### [Graphics Engine](https://mimolive.com/user-manual/live-editing/layers/) mimoLive’s powerful graphics engine follows a layer-based concept to compose the final video. There are [many types of layers](https://mimolive.com/user-manual/live-editing/layers/) which can be combined in the way you need them. Theses layers are highly customizable, allowing you to easily adapt mimoLive to your needs. ![](https://mimolive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Screenshot-2021-12-28-at-11.42.15.png) ### Video Feeds and Graphics as a layered concept ![Chroma Key Concept](https://mimolive.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/WeatherNews_Woman-B-768x535.jpg) ##### [See all layers in action](https://mimolive.com/technology/graphics-for-broadcasting-and-live-streaming/#layers) One of the key benefits of mimoLive’s video feeds and graphics as a layered concept is the flexibility it offers. By separating different elements of the production process into distinct layers, users have greater control over how their final output looks. For example, if a user wants to add a lower third graphic with a specific font and background, they can easily do so by adding a new layer and adjusting the settings. This layered approach also allows for easy repositioning, resizing, and manipulation of elements on the fly, which can be particularly useful in live productions where time is of the essence. Additionally, mimoLive’s layering system makes it easy to switch between different layouts or scenes, as users can save different layer configurations as layer sets and variants to quickly switch between them with the click of a button. Overall, the layered concept of mimoLive’s video feeds and graphics provides users with greater control, flexibility, and efficiency in producing high-quality video content. ### Live Video Switcher Connecting the video sources directly to mimoLive gives you the ability to use multiple video sources at the same time on screen, for example, to display two or more camera angles simultaneously. ![mimoLive Video Switcher](https://mimolive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/features-switcher.jpg) #### [Complex Layers](https://mimolive.com/technology/automation-layer/) Create your own complex Layers, including application logic, for example, to build entire gaming engines. This allows broadcasters to easily implement and test new ideas with very little investment. #### [Blackmagic Design ATEM switcher](https://mimolive.com/user-manual/live-editing/add-ons/atem-controller/) If your want to use a hardware-based video switcher, mimoLive supports direct control of Blackmagic Design ATEM switchers\* with the ATEM mimoLive Addon. #### [Video Switcher](https://mimolive.com/user-manual/live-editing/layers/video-switcher/) Built-in switcher supports up to nine video sources in one switcher layer. Of course, you can combine several video switcher layer. ### ISO Recording to disc while streaming mimoLive handles streaming and recording as separate output destinations. You can add and edit various destinations to your needs. Choose **Video: Program Output** to record your live show or any incoming video source for a clean bypass recording. For ISO recording of a single source like a microphone, a mimoCall, or video camera, choose the source from Video and Audio drop-down. For every recording, you can set video format, compression, filename, and destination. ![mimolive ISO Recording to disk](https://mimolive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/mimoLive-ISO-Recording-1024x752.jpg) ![mimoLive ISO Recording Video Format](https://mimolive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Output-Video-Formate.jpg) #### ProRes 4444 Record in ProRes to keep the highest quality for your professional post-production workflow.
