Hey Alex, If you’re ever stuck with the Blackmagic SDi>HDMI converter in the future, I believe the problem might have been with the DIP switches. On the underside of the converter box there are 8 dip switches, which change the signal coming out of the converter. I had a look at the manual. If I looked at the right model, Dip switch 8 changes the output from analog output (ie. it wants to come out the analog port) to digital output (ie. it wants to come out the hdmi port). Liking your vids, man! Keep em coming!
Interesting. I had a feeling it would have been something simple. I don't think we even looked twice at the ATEM or the SDI converter, we figured it was something to do with the input routing in the laptop. But that's very good to know, I'll check it out next time I'm on set with one!
Thanks mate! That's a tough question to answer - I'll put together a short video and try to explain it. It's difficult because the camera and recording setups on set are always changing, so it's hard to give you an answer that applies to every scenario. Stay tuned!

My guess is incorrect settings in OBS. I've used the atem mini with OBS and you need 2 input sources, 1 for picture and 1 for audio (using the 3,5mm, and obviously correct settings in atem software too), but I've only used Mac so maybe driver issues with windows. Thanks for great videos!
Thanks mate! I’m pretty sure it was an OBS problem too, the signal pathway was fine right up to the point of input into the ATEM and the laptop. It’s something I need to get back into and do some test runs
This kind of setup doesn't seem to be done that much anymore - but just in case it's useful to anyone: - On that vision mixer there's a seperate on/off button for audio. It's the 'on' button at the very top of the mixer (seperate from the larger 'on' button towards the bottom which is for video) - Back in Covid shoots I would bring both a USB interface allowing me to go from an XLR input to a USB device that could be selected as the 'microphone' in a program like Zoom/Skype/etc - Lastly I also brought along a USB mic and a USB extension lead and a short mic stand. That way if all else failed I could just pop the mic a bit closer to the actors.

Nice work.
Please show how you integrate with video playback. And how you send their return to ifbs for adults on set. Cheers.

That’s a great idea. I wish I’d thought of that
I’ve had this issue happen with OBS before, it’s a setting hurried in the app. Once I figured that out my Atem obs setup worked perfectly.
It’s called the dumb side of the camera because the witness marks for the lens are always on the camera left side.
