Ryan, as a touring technician I recommend labeling both ends of your cable looms! You can make yourself look like a boss when it comes to a clean professional presentation of your work, fast deployment (what hired hand hasn't been asked "How fast can you get setup? We're running behind."), and of course SAVE YOUR BUTT for any troubleshooting you might have to do. Not to mention making it super easy to work with the ubiquitous "volunteer" assistant that shows up. There are TONS of labeling tools. I've found that a hand-held labeling device (
I’m with you there. I am a touring audio engineer as well, and usually I do have everything labeled. This will eventually get labels but I’ll be doing a more permanent version of this with some heat shrink and Techflex and alllll the goodies. That’ll be V2. Thanks for all the great suggestions and for checking out the video!
In this case, the ATEM power is DC, so not likely and issue. Best practice is to run analog, digital, network and power each in its own space. In practice, ain’t happenin’ and not likely an issue with short runs and simple networking. In the ATEM wiring scenario, your biggest risk is unbalanced audio run parallel to AC power (than would be power cords to displays and such). Just make sure you have good quality shielded unbalanced audio cables. Use balanced cables where you can, especially from a dynamic microphone to your mic preamp. Mic 1 and 2 inputs are unbalanced, so you would need and external preamp.
Thanks for the video! Would love to see links for the HDMI/audio cables you are using/plugging into the ATEM MINI. With so many cables on amazon, having a link to a trusted cable would be great.
I’ve heard that the Atem mini pro iso starts losing hdmi signal over 15 foot of cable. What’s the total length of your hdmi cabling? Do you have trouble with signal lose or strength? Have you heard anything like this?
I haven’t heard of this. I can confirm that the signal is strong on the ATEM Mini Pro. My total length on all my cables are over 20ft each. Let me know if you see any other reports. Thanks Coy!
Excellent video! At the beginning of the video you have an adapter at the Usbc outlet. I think it's a usbc to hdmi adapter. Can you tell me which one do you use? since I am needing that this output can be connected to a monitor with the hdmi input. thank you very much from Uruguay
Hi Maxwell! Sorry for the delayed response. I didn’t make them. I think I’d mess them up too much if I tried that! The links to the different cables are in the description if you want to try it out for yourself.
Hello, could you explain me one thing about ATEM mini pro… I will record a video from all the camers to a usb-c hard disk. Can I download these files on my computer directly from ATEM, if I use only the ethernet connection with ATEM mini pro?
I don’t think it’s possible over Ethernet since the hard drive doesn’t show up on the computer if you connect it like that. I believe you need to move the hard drive over to the computer.
It's just the one that came with the ATEM Mini Pro. I'm not sure if they differ from model to model. I believe the Pro has a BIGGER supply, but not necessarily longer.
Ha! I probably mentioned that in the wrong video. My wife had her tonsils out today (I’m actually in the waiting room right now), so we’ll see if I go live tonight or not. She’ll probably be resting so I might be able to do something, but we may have to wait until next week! I’ll pin a comment at the top of this video letting you know what’s up.
@@RyanKnowsNothing We'll get over it! Hope she is doing well. My wife is in bed, arm in sling, after yesterdays shoulder minor rebuild. I'm going to fire up the "puto" factory now and make her some nice high carb steamed bread like thing... that's stuff is like crack.

That is an insane setup! and yeah, cable management must be a nightmare! It sounds like you have quite a bit higher knowledge and intellect than I do. Thanks for all the info!
Very clean setup! I've got a pretty neat setup at home, and not really going out with the ATEM and I didn't think I was going to get anything since I've got a good cable management system setup done for my desk and coming out from the side of my desk, etc.
I actually haven't done that yet. For now, since it's gaff tape, I'll just write on it with a silver sharpie. I have a more "enhanced" cleaner version I am working on in my head that will have proper labels and heat shrink. Hopefully I can get that done soon as a "version 2". But version 1 is holding up okay right now. Thanks Dan!
Hey Louis! Sorry for the late reply. I took the last month of the year off from RUclips. Thanks for the kind words. To answer your question, I am really not sure. I haven't noticed a difference. I think it's more length driven. I am using a mixture of 6' to 15' HDMI cables in addition to the 6' extensions and I haven't noticed a difference. I do run some 25' HDMI cables for other things and they seem pretty snappy to me. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
I haven’t noticed any signal degradation at all. Some people have reported that the longer lengths have caused problems but I haven’t seen it. In addition to the 6ft extension I am running 15ft cables out to each of my cameras with no problems!
Hey Tony! That was a last resort type thing. If there are no cable ties. Plus with audio cables it’s easy to cut back a couple of inches and resolder if needs be.
Oooh that's a fine Atem Snek. Love that cable termination 'block' with the gaffertape, looks really good! I'm planning on doing like a pedalboard, have everything velcro mounted and the wires coiled up inside, still kicking around ideas for the best approach to it.

I found that very interesting but was concerned about the strain on the cables coming out of the ATEM. Those velcro pads you used near the end made me think about fastening the ATEM and the cables coming to a board to give a bit more stability. Some rubber feet on the board could be used to stop it scratching the table top. I'd also be tempted to have a board at the other end so that each cable could be labeled.

Tip: make cable ties with electrical tape. Get like a couple of inches, and fold it about halfway going up, leaving enough adhesive exposed, so that you can bring it around a cable, and have it stick to itself.
Hope that was clear enough lol.
Also if you have a long cable, at the end leave a foot or two and wrap it around the bundle a couple of times.
Great vid as always!
If you think electrical tape works well
then you will come unglued when you try GAFFERS TAPE as a cable wrap!

Two of my laptops have Windows 10 on them, I use these laptops for applications that I code, that run on windows and I also use these machines/laptops for testing applications and also, on the go gaming, and one laptop has Kali Linux on it, which I use for pen testing jobs/security jobs and so on.
Like I said,on the go I USUALLY, take one linux machine and one windows machine, unless im doing any security work, then I bring my Kali Linux laptop/three laptops; Because of this, all of my laptops NEED to be able to be removed/portable, at anytime.
Anyway, you can see why I have issues, with cable management.
