RouteEffect is the modern way to control your — built from the ground up for power, customization, flexibility, and automation. Whether you're switching live video feeds or managing complex signal paths in a studio, RouteEffect gives you full control with an interface that's intuitive, responsive, and incredibly capable.
RouteEffect offers several views for understanding and managing your video routing setup:
No other app gives you this much visual flexibility — and you can switch between views any time to fit your workflow.
RouteEffect isn’t just about controlling your router — it’s about supercharging your workflow. These advanced features give professionals the tools they need to route smarter and faster in high-pressure environments.
Create virtual outputs to group multiple physical outputs into one logical unit. Need to send the same source to a video wall, a recorder, and a monitor? With Virtual Outputs, you can switch them all with a single action — no need to route each one individually.
Build and trigger Presets for common routing configurations. Whether it’s your default studio layout, a guest-specific setup, or a “showtime” switch-over, you can apply full or partial crosspoint states instantly. Presets make complex routing changes predictable, repeatable, and fast.
The Multiview gives you a clear, full-screen visual representation of your Videohub’s signal flow. It's perfect for at-a-glance monitoring — especially in fast-paced or high-stakes environments where clarity is critical. You can open multiple Multiview windows, one for each Videohub, and place them across displays or spaces. Use it to keep an eye on routing activity in real-time, with clean labels and a grid layout that makes it easy to understand what’s going where.
It’s perfect for:
Learning how routers work
Building and testing presets in advance
Demos and offline workflows
Take control of your routers from Apple Shortcuts! Trigger presets, switch specific crosspoints, or automate entire routing workflows — hands-free or using voice commands via Siri.
This opens up incredible automation possibilities:
Change routing based on time of day
Trigger presets from your stream deck or NFC tag
Integrate with home automation and production workflows
RouteEffect runs beautifully on:
iPhone — Pocket-sized routing control with full feature access
iPad — The ultimate touch-based routing interface
Mac — Keyboard, mouse, and windowed productivity
Your settings and router connections sync across devices with iCloud, so you’re always ready no matter where you are.

Modern, touch-friendly UI
Full-featured simulator
Multiview routing
Multi-router support
Shortcuts integration
