The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro is my favorite piece of equipment for live streaming video to Facebook, RUclips, Zoom and more. I love it so much that I bought a second one so I can have a permanent setup in my new studio and one in a road case to go. If you’re looking to livestream or even conduct multi-camera setups this is a fantastic piece of gear that should be in every videographer’s kit.

So Thank you for this video. Question tho. What the shotgun monitor for if yours already gonna use the other monitor?
Great video, and very helpful info! In your reply to another comment, you mentioned a “clean” HDMI output. I’m working on improving my streaming set up, using several JVC GZ -E 10 cameras. They have HDMI Mini out, how would I know if they are “clean” , and what does that mean? Thanks for your great videos, I’ll be referring and re-watching your videos often!…………oops, watched a bit more of the video, you just answered my Q.
THIS IS AMAZING
Hope it helps!
Great video

Great video. Can you go into a little more detail about your audio syncing? If I run mics into two cameras, could I expect echoing/syncing issues?
Good questions. If I have more microphones than inputs on one camera (usually 2 XLR inputs on my C70) then I will resort to bringing a sound mixer so I can have a sound person control the levels and turn mics off when they're not in use. This will help to avoid echo or feedback. As for syncing, some people complain of audio going out of sync when they either A) use OBS to stream on an underpowered computer or B) use the ATEM's 3.5mm microphone inputs (this is why Blackmagic updated it to add in delay features). This is the nature of light hitting the camera sensor, going over the HDMI signal, into the ATEM Mini and ultimately out to the final destination occurring at a different speed than sound. To avoid that, I send one sound feed into a camera so the sound and image hit the ATEM at the same time. This has always given me a great result with little to no noticeable delay on audio. For audio mixers I use the Zoom Livetrak L8.
Great video Zephan, lots of interesting info. Thanks and please keep up the good work, I've just subscribed...
Best wishes, John
Thank you!
Can you make a video on how to stream through the Atem Mini Pro’s Ethernet port? How to setup the connection to the internet while still controlling the Atem Mini Pro through the same internet port so that you can record the USB out to an SDD
I'll take note of that! It's pretty easy. The big ingredient most people are missing is making sure you have an ethernet switch. The switch plugs into your router and acts as a splitter. Once the atem mini and your laptop are plugged into the switch they can easily find each other and you'll be able to control the atem as well as stream over ethernet. We're actually in the process of producing a course that will cover all of these things. Feel free to contact me directly if. you're interested!
Great video. With the USBC out to the live stream computer is there a way to also connect to a SSD (Samsung T7 what I use) to record for post editing and live stream at same time?
No I’m afraid you would need the extreme model which has two usb-c outputs.
Love the video. It was very informative. I have a question. If you route the audio into the main camera to mitigate sync issues, when you switch to, say, camera 2 do you still hear the audio that is going into camera 1 or is the audio gone?
Depends if you use the audio on button or the AFV (audio follows video) button on the atem.
Super
Hello Zephan, are you planning to revisit this video and how your setup will change with the new ATEM Mini Extreme/ISO? I saw your video after the Blackmagic keynote and how excited you are about it! Would be great to show off how you would change this setup or even simplify it, but I do understand this must had taken a lot of time to plan and setup, plus editing! (Plus if the HDMI port one issue is better/resolved in the new ATEM Mini Extreme!)
im having the hardest time getting my ATEM Mini Pro ISO hooked up and I'm not sure why. I would also love a video on that!
Do I need a 'special' monitor to connect to *ATEM Mini Pro* for multi view
or may I use *any monitor* to connect the HDMI output to view the multi
view screen?
You don't need a special monitor so long as the one you are using is compatible with the resolutions and framerates that the mini pro outputs. So essentially the monitor must be able to take 1080p signals at a range of framerates from 24-60p.
@@zephanmoses Is there a way to make my monitor always be on mulitview?
Your tutorial stopped being just about how to use the ATEM Mini Pro when you connected to the Feelworld monitor. I was hoping to see how to use a standard monitor with program out and still record with the USB port to an SSD. AFAIK being a new user of the Mini Pro, that's the standard setup for this device that doesn't require additional hardware. Other than that, I enjoyed your simple breakdown of how it all works. It.was worth making a 26 minute video.
Thank you
Enjoy!
Hi Moses, how can the recording and streaming feature of the Atem mini pro be added to the tv studio hd using a raspberry pi4. Thanks
I'm sorry I don't have a Raspberry Pi so I couldn't tell you. All you need is to take the TV Studio HD output into any capture device such as an ATEM Mini or even the Ultrastudio Recorder from Blackmagic.
Hello love your video, I have a question . I followed all the instructions to set up the stream (Facebook and RUclips) and when I start streaming on the switcher, the sign ON AIR is turned on but on timecode, there is nothing happening and I don't get any video source on Facebook or RUclips. I tried on both platforms (FB, YT) and on MAC and PC software.
Hey Gerven, there's a lot of things that could be at play here. For starters, you can only stream to one destination at a time. You cannot stream to both Facebook AND RUclips from an ATEM. It only has one encoder built in so you have to pick one or the other. Alternatively you can use a service like Restream.io for streaming to multiple platforms at once.
If your timecode isn't moving, can you tell if your cache is filling up? If the cache is starting to fill it means that your internet connection is either too weak to stream or it's non-existent and the way you connected your ATEM to the internet was done improperly. Make sure you have an ethernet cable directly from the ATEM to a solid internet connection with a good upload speed. You can use speedtest.net to test your upload speed. If you're using an internet switch, the ethernet cable must be run from the ATEM to the switch and the switch must be plugged into your internet router.
Excellent video. I just realised you also work with C70. I have two and I'm planning to add a third one. Just wondering if you are about to change to ATEM extreme ? Do you have a way of playing alpha channel lower thirds?
I mostly use the atem extreme these days! I have two. For lower thirds 99% of the time I’m using PNG files loaded in the media pool but I’m playing with Titler Live for Broadcast.
Hi there, if out in the field, what LTE modem/router do you recommend to use? I need to setup a live stream on a beach in FL and I researching the best options.
Teradek Vidiu Go is one we like. You can also look at LiveU Solo
Zephan, great video thank you! I have an atem mini pro and I need to send a live stream to the in-house jumbotrons and Vimeo. The stream is directly from the mini pro. Will the decimator allow me to use the output from the USB c converted to HDMI from the atem to feed into the decimator allowing me to provide SDI to the house for playback on the jumbotron screens? If not, do you have any suggestions since the HDMI from the atem will be used for multiview? Thank you in advance!
Hey Jim, thanks for the question. Your USB-C output on the atem is ONLY for a webcam feed into the computer or as a data stream to a solid state drive for external recording. This USB-C feed cannot (I repeat for everyone in the back!) cannot be "converted" into any other type of signal. A Decimator would allow you to take either a HDMI or SDI output and convert it/scale it and output it as HDMI or additional SDI outputs. It's a scaler/convertor and in some uses can act as a splitter. Since your HDMI is being used for multiview, I would suggest getting yourself a Streaming Bridge. You'd use the ethernet port to "stream" to the streaming bridge which will give you additional HDMI and SDI outputs of your livestream feed to send SDI to the jumbotron screens and the HDMI feed you could then send into a capture device like another atem mini or an Elgato Camlink to send your stream out on your platform of choice. Unfortunately with the mini pro you only have one output whereas if you had an extreme model, you'd gain an additional HDMI output (one for multiview and one for the program/live feed).
Great video, what is the small portable camera you are using?
That's the DJI Pocket 2
How did you hook up the DJI osmo pocket to your stream?
I didn't. I recorded this video and edited it after the fact. This video was not livestreamed.
Hi Zephan; with the SEETEC monitor - does this add an additional delay with running the HDMI cables through it to the Mini-Pro, given that HDMI already has quite a lag when comparing to SDI equipment through puts? Thanks!
(Trying to ascertain whether this would work in a live presentation setup, or would the overall video lag be too noticeable to make it useable?)
Hi there - no it does not. This is a loop out so it's not converting or transcoding any information. It does not add significant delay.
So... can you use the Network cable to stream the Program on RUclips while using the HDMI Out to preview a MultiView while also recording to an SSD using the USB-C?
Yes
Love your video! Can I use a regular tv monitor instead of the Seetec Multiview monitor?
It all depends on what frame rates and resolutions your tv is compatible with so you’ll need to check the specs for the TV. The atem can be set to various framerate outputs in HD.
@@zephanmoses thank you!
How do you reset the Feelworld 15.6" quad split monitor to factory settings?
I’m unsure if it has that ability but it would be in the menu if it did.
Hey Zephan thanks for the great video. So does that mean since the Atem is conncected to the computer via USB-C you cannot record program at the same time?
Great question. There’s a couple things you can do. If the atem is using the multiview monitor from Seetec by looping the hdmi feeds into the atem, you have a few options. You can 1) stream via USB-C 2) stream via Ethernet/encoder or 3) stream via hdmi output into a capture device like an Elgato camlink.
The way I set it up is I usually record my program output in my Atomos shogun 7 and use the hdmi output for the program feed. You could potentially take the usb-c signal and record in QuickTime if you’re on a Mac (or OBS on Mac/Pc).
There’s a lot of ways to do it. You just wouldn’t record directly to a hard drive using the USB-C port if you are using that port to send a video feed out.
@@zephanmoses thanks so much! You rock!
How to set up the switcher
Hi Zephan,
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have an ATEM Mini Extreme, just moved up from the Mini Pro for the added features. I use it to teach classes through Zoom. I have 3 PTZ cameras and a second computer connected via HDMI inputs to display various graphics programs for my students. Like you, I’m running my ATEM and Zoom through a separate computer, both which are Macs. My issue is that when I run the computer through the Mini, the image is not as crisp as when I share my screen through Zoom. The computer currently plugged into input #4. This makes my workflow far clunkier. Would moving it to input #1 solve that problem? Or if that doesn’t resolve the issue, would running it through the Decimator MD-HX work? Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hey Marvin, at the end of the day, Zoom is only streaming in standard definition any time there are more than 2 people on a meeting call. They have an HD feature you can enable in the settings but Zoom states on their support site that they are throttling even paid users. It’s important to know that what you see in Zoom on your end will always look better than what your audience sees unless you have an enterprise or business account with 1080p streaming enabled.
It’s always a good plan to plug a computer into input 1 but that’s not going to make the image “sharper” per se. Thats just leveraging the YUV color space over the RGB color space of inputs 2-4 on the mini pro. On the extreme I believe inputs 1+2 are both YUV.
Getting a Decimator is always nice to have but it’s not going to change how sharp your image is. I would check your display settings on the computer because you’ll want the computer to be outputting something like 1920x1080. Some smaller or underpowered laptops might output a weird resolutions like 1024x856 or something like that. That would obviously show up blurry if the atem had to scale that up to fit 1920 and very well could be what is happening.
Check your display output settings first on the laptop then keep in mind the quality you see on your zoom streaming computer is always better than what the audience sees.
Hey Zephan! Awesome! 1) Why don't you use the ATEM's encoder and connect ATEM directly to Ethernet? That seems like a way to offload processing load and is simpler. 2)Do you think the ATEM mini Extreme's second HDMI out is now a better way of getting multi view since it eliminates 4 HDMI cords?
Good questions! Since this video I’ve actually sold all mini pros and traded up for extreme ISOs. I originally liked offloading the encoding to OBS because I didn’t want to overload the mini pro. Many times on site we actually offload the work to a Teradek encoder or a bonding encoder because of internet issues. Regardless there’s no real reason to not use the built in encoder other than dealing with the pain of editing the xml file if you are streaming to a custom rtmp location that isn’t a default in the atem software.
@@zephanmoses Many thanks! I'm a 'new born' (VERY young newbie! For our needs, the pro seems the right fit. We'll just be using FB and RUclips
Do I have to set the camera to 1080p60 if that is what I'm streaming, or can I leave them in 4k mode as they are for normal shooting? Will the atem capture at 1080p60 regardless of camera settings?
The camera must output 1080. The atem is not compatible with 4K.
I question why do you loop through each camera through a 4 input monitor when you can just use multiview out of the switcher?
Thanks for the question, it's because the ATEM Mini Pro only has 1 HDMI output. If you want to use the HDMI output for something other than multiview like a program or recording output, you can't due to this limitation.
This video was created before the creation of the ATEM Mini Extreme models which have multiple outputs. So at the time there was no solution to be able to output both multiview and a program output from the ATEM Mini Pro. So in this case, I was using the HDMI output so that I could record a program video feed to my Atomos Ninja recorder and then I could still leverage the USB output from the ATEM for webcam input to a laptop rather than recording to a solid state drive.
This means that I could still stream into platforms like Zoom using the USB.
So if I was using the HDMI output for multiview, I would be forced to record my program feed by plugging in a SSD to the USB-C output. If I do that, then I can't use the ATEM as a USB capture device because the USB port is used. This was the best work around at the time.
Now of course the best work around is just to pay a little more money for the extreme model so you can have one hdmi output for multiview and one hdmi output for anything else plus two USB outputs, one for SSD recording and one for webcam streaming.
The Mini pro Iso has integrated streaming. Is it necessary to use a laptop?
You'll still need a computer in order to input the proper streaming destination and streaming key in the blackmagic software control. You'll also want the software control to import graphics into the media pool among other settings that you cannot access from the atem itself.
Why would you use the second laptop for streaming when there’s a direct streaming output on the mini pro?
Thanks for your question, there's two computers involved here because one computer is being used for video playback and the other computer is being used to access the ATEM software control in order to set up stream settings in the ATEM such as your streaming key. The ATEM Software Control also allows for you to adjust more settings that cannot be set within the ATEM itself such as a streaming framerate, making adjustments to the audio inputs, adding audio delay, etc. In later ATEM models the software control allows you to adjust things like the SuperSource.
While you could in theory use the same computer to manage the ATEM software control and play back videos, it's not ideal. What if you need to be able to access the software control while a video is playing back? Then you'd wind up in needing a second monitor output so you could keep the software control open on one monitor and the video playback on the second monitor output going into the ATEM. If you accidentally swipe the wrong way, press a keyboard shortcut or a hotkey, the video is going to disappear therefore displaying the error into your livestream.
With that said you can stream from the ATEM's built in encoder but you still need to set it up in the software control. It's also worth mentioning that for events that have more than 20 images, you'll need a bigger media pool than the one that the ATEM supplies in which case you might want to use the USB output of the atem into a streaming computer that uses OBS to manage the encoding as well as insert graphics since there is no limitation on the amount of graphics you can insert in OBS.
There's a lot of reasons why you would want to use two computers and in our setups we aim to create the most reliable experience that is error free for our clients.
Please help my Atem mini pro output monitor stop working first to start flickering and know it doesn't work at all sometimes it just comes on for a moment and then gets a black screen again. I am using a Dell monitor. Also, try a second Dell monitor same problem. Did try different HDMI cables, did use different VGA cables also make use of a DisplayPort. All the other functions on OBS worked 100% it's just the ATEM output that is not working.
Don’t use computer monitors. They’re not compatible with all frame rates that the atem outputs. Use a production monitor or occasionally a TV. It’s not the atem output - it’s the computer monitor.
Does using software like obs or wirecast affect the overall picture quality?
Thanks for the question! The software itself doesn't necessarily affect picture quality but it is important to remember that if you're sending the signal over the USB-C output of the atem and into a program like OBS, you're already taking a compressed webcam feed which will probably not look as good pixel for pixel as the HDMI output will. On top of that, you're going to be compressing the video signal further by encoding it to send it out to your final destination platform. So your bitrate settings will dictate the quality of the image on the final platform. It's a combination of your bitrate of the encoder you choose and your internet connection that will determine final image quality.
Maybe I missed it, how is the Atem having internet. Is it through the USB C to the laptop or Ethernet port. I did not see that
In this setup the atem does not connect to the internet. The video signal goes over the USB-C cable and then you go live from the MacBook Pro. You could just go live on Facebook or you could use OBS. It really depends on your final destination. You can still plug the atem into the Ethernet cable and into the internet switch that you see me hook up in the video. Then you could use the built in Encoder. I’ve used both the built in encoder and the usb-c output to go live. They pretty much work the same so long as you’re willing to rely on something like OBS to do the encoding. I found that when I use OBS it used less than 10% of my CPU so it really uses very low resources on the computer.
Zephan Moses cool, sounds good. Meaning you will have your MacBook connected via Ethernet too for better streaming correct ?
@@michelomulambo6169 yes! I always make sure that I’m live streaming on a wired Ethernet connection.
Typically I will run a wired Cat6 cable from the router or Ethernet port on location to my 5 port gigabit switch. This basically gives me 5 ports to use so if I have additional computers or devices I can connect them too. Think of it like a splitter.
I don’t ever livestream on WiFi because I can’t guarantee that the connection will stay live during longer events and I have no idea how many other devices are connected to the networks. We have used hotspots and cellular bonding routers in the past when we didn’t have a reliable connection but as a professional service I don’t feel comfortable charging someone money to stream over WiFi or an unreliable connection.
We have a clause in our contract that makes it clear we aren’t reliable for a livestream failure. We also try to bring as many backups as possible.
Your video was very helpful. QUESTION: How are you getting video from the DJI Osmo Pocket to the ATEM Mini Pro? Is it the original Pocket, or the Pocket 2? I have the original DJI Osmo Pocket and would love to get video to the ATEM Mini Pro but can't find a reasonably priced way to do it.
I only used the Osmo to record and then edited it later. I did not take the video feed from the Osmo into the atem. I have the pocket 2. But they don't have an easy way to take an HDMI output at the moment. There's some RUclipsr I've seen that did it but it's pretty hacked together.
@@zephanmoses Darn … I was hoping you had the magic beans to get HDMI out of the Osmo Pocket directly into the ATEM Mini Pro. That would be so cool. Thanks for the quick reply, though.
@@EightWheels1 On the larger scale you can take an HDMI out of a DSLR on a gimbal but at the end of the day the Pocket is a consumer product so an HDMI output is a bit of a more advanced feature that their average user won't be using. Have to bring the right tool to the job but I do agree, it would be a pretty killer combo.
Very helpful video. want to stream band sessions in studio. Budget is the biggest issue but will get there eventually
Thanks for checking it out!
We have been having issues when we hook up the Atem Mini Pro, getting a quick blue glitch on the projector. Our system is set up computer>switcher>Transmitter>projector. Projector goes to Cat5 the rest is hdmi. Any ideas?
I always see people have issues with cat5 converters or projectors struggling with certain framerates or resolutions.
Seen and solved.
Very thorough, but I'm trying for a simple setup that doesn't involve 2 expensive switcher monitors.
There are plenty of more affordable monitors that can be used with these setups. We use $99 TVs in some setups. At the end of the day though if you’re looking to get multiview AND a program recording you’ll still need the ATEM 15.6” monitor with the four HDMI looping inputs otherwise it’ll be worth it to invest in the atem mini extreme since it has two different hdmi outputs.
@@zephanmoses is the Lilliput A7s Full HD 7 Inch Monitor a fine replacement for the shogun?
@@NateReelz the shogun is a recorder too. The Monitor will work fine as a monitor if that's all you care about but I prefer to have equipment that serves as more than one purpose so I have backups. My Shogun can record 4 simultaneous SDI feeds so if I ever needed a backup ISO recorder, I have one.

Is there a minimum (GPU) or operation System for Windows for the Atem Mini Pro ISO. Can I use a small Celeron Laptop for my Streams? I use the Atem Mini Pro ISO with OBS and I stream to RUclips. I had a ASUS Rog7 i7 8th Gen, but with all the off site streaming, the Laptop fell and broke... so If I can get a smaller less expensive Laptop for the streaming, that would be great.
On BlackMagic website I can only find that you need Windows 10 64bit...
If you are using OBS as an encoder I do not recommend using a laptop that is underpowered. You may see issues with your livestream. Remember, OBS will be doing a lot of the work and video requires a lot of power. If you are streaming using the built in encoder of the atem then you shouldn't need much.
@@zephanmoses we have horrible internet in our country, and it is my understanding that if you do use the mini's encoder that you need stream at, at least 3 Mbps (so you need an upload speed of Mbps? - We currently stream at 1.5 Mbps through, just to be safe. So is It likely that i would not be able to bypass the strong laptop?
@@TheVlakkie You'll still need a powerful laptop regardless. In fact, if you are compressing the video that low, you might need more computing power because of the compression needed. You might want to look into using cellular connections for streaming instead.
@@zephanmoses average upload speed in SA is below 2 mbps.
@@TheVlakkie Yes unfortunately you won't have many options. Livestreaming requires good internet.
Is the decimator nessesary? I though the Pro had all of that built in? I can’t get my Mac book pro to show up. -Atem mini extreme iso.
The Decimator isn't exactly necessary but we find it useful in many cases where we might have to split out PowerPoint slides to other screens. It's also been a great troubleshooting tool. One thing that we like to do is offload easy tasks like scaling from the ATEM when possible so it's not doing EVERYTHING at one time. I'm surprised you're having trouble getting a Macbook Pro to show up on a mini extreme iso. How are you connecting it? What's your cable path?

Can you try plugging the HDMI just into a monitor like an Atomos Ninja or a BM Video Assist to verify that the signal is working using that USB-C adapter?
Only found this today. So your Atem is not on the network?
Totally depends on your setup and how you stream. These days I use a dedicated encoder (LiveU) to offload the streaming from the atem.
Question: I have an Atem Mini Pro. I am having an issue where I can't seem to get rid of whats on my camera's LCD screen when it goes through the ATem. Is there a setting I'm missing to get rid of what's on my Sony's LCD screen in the ATEM? I try to do it on my Sony Camera but I can't get rid of everything STB will always remain or battery. Now a capture card works to completely get rid of everything but I was hoping not to have get 3 or 4 capture cards to work the Atem. Is there a setting I'm missing on the Atem that will fix this? Anybody? Thanks in Advance!
This is called "clean HDMI". Not all cameras have a clean HDMI output meaning you will see the menus and settings overlayed over top of the camera feed when using the HDMI port just like how you would see those settings on the camera screen. It's crucial to double check that your camera actually has the ability to output clean HDMI before using it with the ATEM. The easiest way is to google the camera make and model with the words "clean hdmi" and you'll find your answer pretty quickly. For cameras that do offer clean HDMI output, there will most likely be a setting to disable these settings from showing up. It might be called "OSD" or "On Screen Display" on some camera models. It has nothing to do with the ATEM and 100% everything to do with your camera.
@@zephanmoses thank you. Sorry for spamming you. 😂 trying to figure it out.
@@calvarychapelleander3605 all good. It’s just a matter of clean hdmi and whether or not your camera can do it.
I didn’t understand what happened to the RUclips video in the set up?
The MacBook Pro that had the RUclips video on it was set up so that the displays are extended, not mirrored. This is great if you’re plugging in a second screen and using two screens on a computer. In this setup the extended or second display is the hdmi feed going out of the Mac and into the ATEM. That’s all. Nothing crazy. It’s just not setup as a mirrored display.
Where do you get your backdrop from?

On one of the earlier steps you put in the monitor then you have two other laptops,
Can I use my laptop as the monitor?
I have my HDMI cable hooked up to the HDMI out and it's plugged into my laptop isn't that sufficient?
Thank you!
I AM LITERALLY DYING FROM THIS ATEM MINI PRO
The hdmi port on a laptop is output only. You can’t send a hdmi feed to a laptop for viewing without a capture device or capture card.
@@zephanmoses crying but also thank you so much that’s extremely helpful
Any recommendations??
Thank you for kindly replying I’m so new at this 🤟🏾💛
@@ToriManleySpeaking realistically you need a video monitor like the ones that Feelworld or Seetec makes. You would connect the atem to the monitor using the hdmi cable. You can see the one I use in the video.
Hey man good info much appreciated. I'm planning on using my ATEM mini for a live concert. I'm a piano player / singer and I want a shot on my hands / piano. There is a slight lag in the video - is that the Camera or the ATEM. MacBook Pro hooked into HDMI 1, camera into HDMI 2. The video syncs up perfect with my backing tracks / computer but video from camera shot lags very slightly. Using HDMI output from ATEM to monitor to a HD TV Vizio. Just curious if you ever dealt with the issue? Thanks for any advise or fixes! Dan
What type of camera are you using? How is it connected to the atem? What type of cable and what length? Usually I add 3-4 frames of delay on my audio input on mic 1 to get things lining up. Audio tends to hit the atem faster than video signals so adding just a slight delay tends to kick it all back into sync.
@@zephanmoses Thanks for the reply. Actually the audio is not the issue as all I need the ATEM for is video for the venue. The issue is the video delay from what is happening live. For instance, when the piano player plays, and the camera is capturing his hands playing the keys, the video output is delayed by a slight amount. Like he hits a note, and the video shows his hand hit the note immediately after it actually happens. Using HDMI cables (not fiber but not junk I don't think?), 15' length, and right now just using iPhone XR w/ FILMEC Pro.
@@dharrell002 so you’re broadcasting what would be considered an IMAG feed? Filming on iPhone, sent out over hdmi to atem and the atem is feeding an HDMI to a screen or tv in the venue?
That’s pretty typical that there will be a slight delay. Only higher end switchers will have close to 0 latency on an output like that.
@@zephanmoses Yessir I didn't know IMAG but that's what I'm trying to do. Suggestion on the most cost effective switcher that has 0 latency? Again thanks for your time!
@@dharrell002 You'd probably want to look into the higher end Blackmagic TV Studio 4Ks and use SDI
port 1 only has YUV capabilities. not both like the other 3 ports. it's the reason why it can do extreme low latency.
Correct I have a video that explains that.
I would really be interested in a full parts list if possible.
Hey Dennis, I've updated the description there should be links to most of the gear now!
@@zephanmoses thanks
how is the ATEM Mini Pro hooked up to the internet?
Look at the 20 minute mark and I explain it there. Let me know if you have any questions.
Depending on how you set up the atem mini pro you don’t necessarily have to use the built in encoder. This means the atem mini pro doesn’t need to be plugged into the internet so long as the computer is plugged in and you are using the usb-c cable for a video feed.
Really informative, Zephan! Nicely done! If I'm conducting Zoom meetings, is it necessary for me to have a second computer? Also, I connected my Lumix DMC-G5 and I am only able to display the videos and pics already taken (but not live). I'm sure I'm missing something:)
Hey Nick, thanks for the question. It's not necessary for a second computer. I've just gotten in the habit of having backups on hand if need be. It's way easier to plug up a computer that's already on and running if need be (things do fail when live - it happens).
As for the camera, I'm not familiar with the G5 model but you'll need to do some searching around to see if it has a "clean HDMI Output" as that will be required in order for the camera to show the live video feed to the ATEM.
@@zephanmoses Thanks for the response, Zephan. I'm guessing my camera doesn't do the trick, since it's already 10 years old, despite having a mini-HDMI port. Zero info on the web, so far, and various folks asking the same question. Oh well. I enjoyed your video.
@@nicktubach7874 sorry to say it most likely doesn’t have a clean hdmi output being that old. You’d probably need to upgrade to something from the last 5-7 years.
@@zephanmoses Agreed. I guess I need to get the BMPCC 6K:) Now I just need to figure out what lens:)
@@zephanmoses I see you mentioned a “clean” HDMI output. I’m working on improving my streaming set up, using several JVC GZ -E 10 cameras. They have HDMI Mini out, how would I know if they are “clean” , and what does that mean? Thanks for your great videos, I’ll be referring and re-watching your videos often!
how to use phone camera to set up with atem mini pro
It depends on the phone that you have because you will need HDMI output from the phone. Most phones won't do this without converters/adapters which introduce lag. With the iPhone you can get a lightning to HDMI adapter like this: amzn.to/3Ew3gwZ and then you will need a camera application that will output a "clean" signal meaning it doesn't output any of the settings or other displays on screen. Apps like FilmicPro can do this: www.filmicpro.com/
@zephanmoses I got android phone
I work out of various football stadiums...some have ethernet....some don't. I either have to use my cell phone or a hot spot.
Yes, you can also consider a cellular bonding unit if budget allows.
@@zephanmoses wow..I see it...how does that thing work???
@@kduane1 we use the Teradek VIdiuGo and it takes multiple cell phone SIM cards with data plans, merges the signals and gives you a more reliable method of streaming to your final destination. It basically splits your data across multiple cellular networks.
Bummer, the decimator isn't available anymore.
They have a newer 12G model but it’s backordered. Check out Lumantek as an alternative.
You went through all that complicated detailed cabling etc but never actually connected the atem to anything ? There’s no Ethernet or USB-c connection to anything from the atem.
Refer to 24:51 on the video where I clearly state "Last but not least, we didn't plug in our USB-C cable" and I clearly pull the USB-C Cable out. Thanks for watching.
Can you relabel this video “how to use a $400 switcher with $2k extra worth of gear”.
Thanks for your comment. Livestreaming (and video in general) is not a cheap hobby. That's why I've made a career out of it and use around $100,000 worth of equipment on a daily basis and earn multiple times that per year. A $400 switcher only goes so far. To really put it to good use in the real world you need cameras, cabling, adapters, converters and a lot more. This video was intended to show the way that I along with many other professionals are using it.
Tie a knot in a cable when you discover it’s bad. Knotted cables are banished.
Is it me or is the engineering of this thing stupid? With regard to the ability to record the clean program HDMI at the expense of having a multi view seems to be a fatal flaw in the design. Every TV studio I've ever worked in had both the ability to record a clean program feed, AND preview not only the inputs, but the preview and program feeds. Would it have killed BMD to throw in another output?
I agree and that’s why they made the atem mini extreme which fixes most issues. You have two hdmi outputs so one can be program and one can be multiview. They also released the streaming bridge which gives you SDI and hdmi program output so you can reserve the single hdmi output on an atem mini pro for multiview.
Why do you need 2 computer wtf
I prefer to use one computer as a streaming computer and one computer for video playbacks or for PowerPoint presentations. We have been doing livestream work professionally for 8 years and we’ve learned it’s always a good idea to not only have backup devices but also to offload certain processes so no one device is doing all of the heavy lifting.
@@zephanmoses Why not stream with the atem?
@@jacvanderspuy5618 if you use one device for everything (streaming, switching, graphics, etc) what happens when you have a failure and your client is paying you thousands of dollars to make sure things don’t go wrong?
I think this video gets convoluted by all the other resources he adds 😢
Hi Dudley, thank you for your feedback. As we've found in a professional working environment over the past few years, you need more than just the ATEM to run a good livestream. As you'll see in the more recent videos, I'm documenting my process as my video production and live streaming business grows so for some users who are not doing this for a living, they may find that I'm sharing more than what is necessary. Everyone will have their own needs and this video is simply for you to determine what works best in your workflow. Thanks again for watching.
Blurry and a waist of are time
I’m sorry you’re having trouble seeing the video. It’s definitely not blurry. Try checking your internet connection.
omg no thanks. a complicated expensive mess.
If you get into doing this professionally you’ll realize that it requires the additional equipment to do it right. It’s not for everyone and there’s ways to simplify but you’d be sacrificing reliability and the ability to expand your setup to achieve the clients needs. Thanks for watching.
