# Solution Recipes

End-to-end playbooks that walk a full venue (a sport, a worship service, a hybrid event, a switcher integration) from blank project to on-air.

Recipes compose the rest of the help rather than duplicating it. Each recipe pulls from [Play and update graphics](/play-and-update-graphics/branch-index.md) for Data Controller setup, [Set up your production](/set-up-your-production/branch-index.md) for the signal chain, and [Control your show](/control-your-show/branch-index.md) for the cue/take cycle, with cross-references so a system builder follows the whole journey in order. Open this section when you’re standing up a venue rather than learning a single feature.

## What’s in this section

* [ATEM integration](/solution-recipes/chapter-index/atem-integration.md) — use this when an ATEM is your show switcher and Captivate is feeding it graphics with key + fill, tally, and command exchange.
* [vMix recipe](/solution-recipes/chapter-index/vmix-recipe.md) — use this when vMix is the production hub and Captivate provides the graphics layer.

## Related sections

* If a recipe references a Data Controller you haven’t met yet (Sportzcast, ProPresenter, StatCrew, Zoom), see [Play and update graphics](/play-and-update-graphics/branch-index.md) for the catalog page with the full configuration reference.
* If a recipe needs a Program Out you haven’t set up (SDI key + fill, NDI, virtual webcam, RTMP), see [Set up your production](/set-up-your-production/branch-index.md).
* When a recipe works in print but not in your venue, see [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting/branch-index.md). The articles there are the right tool for symptom-first recovery; the recipes here serve as known-good end-to-end references to compare your setup against.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://captivatehelp.newbluelive.com/solution-recipes/branch-index.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
