Hello fellow Christian! 😊 I have the following setup, and I’m trying to figure out how to showcase my Mac’s screen-whether it’s a browser window, pictures, or movie clips-as an input source. I’m working on a three-camera podcast and would like to use the Program feed to display a movie clip or my browser as part of the podcast. The flow would look something like this: switch to Cam 1, then Cam 3 for a wide-angle shot, then maybe show a movie clip or browser window, and then back to Cam 2, and so on. Here’s my wiring setup: - The three cameras are connected to the ATEM via HDMI inputs 1, 2, and 3. - My HDMI output (1) is going into my Mac via a capture card before it plugs into the Mac. (This is used in combination with OBS in the event I would like to Live Stream, though for this setup, I’m only recording straight into my 4TB SSD drive via USB (A). -HDMI OUT (2) is going to a single monitor that shows the Program feed for all three participants to see. - USB (A) is connected to a 4TB SSD drive. - USB (B) is plugged back into the same Mac so the person doing the switching can see the multicam feed using OBS. What I’m trying to achieve is to be able to send my Mac’s monitor output so that all three podcast participants can see themselves being switched or, if we decide to pull up a news article or RUclips video from my Mac, we can display that as well. Thank you in advance, and take care!
Hi there... I may be missing something, but it sound like you've over-complicated the setup a bit. I would come HDMI output #2 from the ATEM to a monitor for multiview - the producer can use this to see all cameras at the same time. Output #1 goes to your talent monitor where all podcast participants can see. Then, one of the USB connections goes to the MAC, which can feed the program feed into OBS for the show. Your Mac should let you send an HDMI output to the ATEM just like a camera feed. Depending on which Mac model you have, you may need a dongle to give you an extra HDMI output - though you may have to use the dongle for the mac monitor and use the HDMI output to connect to the ATEM. Either way, the ATEM will see the MAC as just another camera and the Mac will see the ATEM as another external monitor - which you can either mirror or extend - I recommend extend so you can choose to show whatever you want on that monitor while still "working" on the main monitor. THen, you just switch back and forth - and if you want all the participants to see their camera feed, you can create a SuperSource will all of them on the same screen - then send that Supersource to HDMI Output #1 - which is connected to your confidence monitor. Hope that makes sense, but that' show I would do it. I wouldn't bring the ATEM into the Mac through USB AND HDMI -- that's wasting two connections on the same thing, basically.
@@ChurchSetup 1st of Thanks for the prompt response, I have a Mac Studio, so there are plenty of HDMI inputs to bring in any feed from the ATEM. let me go over your insights and circle back with my results. Blessing be Upon you and your family :)
@@ChurchSetup so after carefully going over your suggestions I did want to clear the following: - I only have 2 monitors, those being my Main 32" curved LG monitor plugged into my Mac Studio via USB-C and a Regular 17" AOC monitor plugged into my ATEM HDMI OUT 2. - I like to use my 17" AOC monitor pointing to my 3 guest so when ever the switcher man operator needs to bring up a News Article or YT video we can all see and talk about it. (Currently this is plugged into ATEM HDMI OUT 2) - ATEM HDMI OUT 1 is going from the Atem to my Mac Studio via the use a Capture Card that has an HDMI input on one end, and a USB-C on the other end, this I have plugged into my Mac Studio using a USB-C input. (this is key giving I don't have to use my Mac Studio HDMI Input in the back) - ATEM USB A: is being used by my 4TB SSD Drive - ATEM USB B: After reading you comment it seems I wont be using this and or otherwise as per your instructions. FYI: the Mac Studio has 1 HDMI input slot in the back. (this is empty and not being used) (Not sure if this is the one your referencing for me to use with a single HDMI cable and plug that straight into the Atem HDMI 4 slot. Thank you again. I'm getting close :)
Hi! im in a scenario where we want to live switch 3 cameras and stream that to social media channels but we also need the ability to go back in after the show and retweek angle switches in post to cut separate videos for social. Is that possible? What atem setup will i need?
Yes, you can do that with the ATEM Extreme ISO or the ATEM Mini Pro ISO. ISO stands for isolated, basically means it will record each channel individually at the same time. The ATEM also makes a Divinci file for the multicam edit that you made live, and you can easily load that up and edit the camera switches, etc.
Just what I needed to learn, thanks very much.
Your opinions its totally correct ! Especially about imag and PGM feed
Thank you 😀
Can you do the same trick with the Atem Advanced Switcher 10, maybe using the select bus? Thanks

@@ChurchSetup how cool! Awesome thanks for the info
