Oh my this was interesting on a WHOLE NEW level. I also love that the "real" pros also just use big Stream Decks! Great stuff, really informative and entertaining.
I miss this kind of setup. People who grew up with OBS and Streamdeck would appreciate the efficiency of the software they have. But this… needs top shelf organization skills.
Turn this into a tutorial! Everything from how to manage talent to planning to best practices for cueing. I promise I will like it (can't promise to subscribe because I already did)
This is awesome! Can you please share your link that you mentioned @ 4:21 about the set up for Mix Minus (so that the talent can hear you but not the audience)?
LOL!!! Billy Davis, I went to high school with that guy. We played football together. Small World. Thanks for the content, I’ll trying to add live streaming to my video production business. So I’m in study mode.
That's a wicked setup you got there. Great video. Would love to see more in-depth content like this. Could you maybe talk about the business side to this as well and how you got into production and find clients and such?
Wow. Good job. And your setup totally makes sense to me. At my last job i wonder, if i really need one computer for each instance (zoom, inserts, 'tape') but seeing you doing the same feels good. If one machine crashes, you don't lose it all.
Hi, Thanks for documenting this. With your zoom drones, do all your talent join the same zoom call and then you pin them on the individual drones and then feed that into your switcher or are their 5 individual zoom sessions. If there is a link that describes this, then please let me know. Thanks - Chris
FYI- You can completely eliminate the potential hassle of “the talent has their mic muted” if you enable the option in settings. You can have full control over who is muted or unmuted on Zoom.
Thanks for sharing man! This is out of this world tech! Seems very complex, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that complicated. If we only could get rid of the cableesssss.
OMG I Learned so much from this video. I don't really do this kinds of stuff but i do assist in webinars or anything that uses Zoom or Google Meet. You guys deserve a Sub!
There's so much here I can relate to - I was just beginning to develop livestreaming for our organisation when the pandemic hit and suddenly I had to learn real quick (we are an NHS trust in the UK and getting live information to our workers was vital). Due to the tight security protocols we have in the NHS, we couldn't use Zoom and instead everything was done via Microsoft Teams, which at the start of the pandemic, was way behind Zoom in terms of capabilities, but over time, Microsoft really got their act together. The game-changer was when they implemented NDI - now I could pull in separate NDI feeds for each person on the Teams call (like your drones) plus it would have an "active camera" NDI as well which auto-switched depending on who was talking. I used this in conjunction with Livestream Studio running to Vimeo and it was able to have a similar set up to yours using just two PCs, one operator (me!) and no switchers. This included being able to Supersource using the GFXs. The downside was the lack of redundancy mind - if either PC failed then options were more limited, but had an AJA Helo on standby to go to taking any feed I could. Anyway, I thought you might be interested in how smaller operations like mine managed to adapt but now those times are over I'm looking to move to a more hybrid solution with the new ATEM Constellations doing a lot of the work. Thank you for sharing this great behind the scenes video by the way - I will definitely be showing this to my bosses to show them that my setup was actually quite basic!
this was a great watch. I am but a lowly twitch streamer but I have managed livestreams for the companies i worked with in the past. seeing this was an absolute blast! :D
I believe those nine computers along the wall are all in the same zoom call as the nine participants. Each of them has pinned a participant to the top screen. Then the video from that screen is captured as a feed into the controlling vision switching computer. They are drones because they aren't individually intelligent at all they just sit there providing a feed of a single participant (I could be wrong)
An amazing setup and operation. My compliments! Am doing something similar though less elaborate, hosting church meetings and special events for live streaming using vMix and a combination of Zoom and vMixCall run from my basement. Multiple control surfaces for audio and video mix as well as graphics and effects using stream decks, an X-Touch Universal, and a Newtek LC-11 controller. A software package on my main production computer ties them all together to control vMix. Graphics and additional effects from a second local computer via NDI. Feeds to and from other remote production setups via SRT links to expand operations. vMix has been amazing in this regard. I still prefer to use hardware setups where possible though, Blackmagic mainly.
can you talk more about how you are managing the audio in the stream ? are you patching through the atem ? i have had issues with audio through my Atem
nice setup! mine only have 1 pc with OBS +NDI to capture the video on Zoom/Ms. Teasm, and re-cast to OBS.. i must say, this kind of job are exhausting and you have to stay focus on whatever will happen when we're going live.
how are you guys solving the animated transition? I think you guys are only person in the world having animated transition in atem!. I was thing about making a macro using media player and a delay but just can't make it work as smooth as A2Z Productions... :*(
just wondering, are this setup using another apps, such as OBS ? and the talent and participants in the. same room at zoom? Because for me, zoom is so tricky
For this stream we did not, we just used a zoom webinar. Sometimes we'll use OBS just to stream to places that the mini's don't support. But mostly we'll just stream from an atem mini. The talent would be in a different room from the viewers or the presenters in a zoom webinar.
Nice! I was with a small media company that was just getting into live streaming events (HS grads, seminars, interview, etc.) and something bad will always happened during the event like losing connection, audio issues, and over heating, it was stressful lolll.
Great BTS video! Man, it would be great if you could break down how the drone computers are set up, what goes where, and things like that. Thanks for sharing!
Another awesome video guys :-) You make it look so easy 😉 very professional. What’s your guys thoughts on SRT technology playing apart in the future re conferences (video quality, latency etc)?
I believe there are 4 ATEM Mini's in this setup currently. All really just being used as capture cards. The one you (probably) saw is our main streaming device. In this instance it was livestream program fed into zoom through the ATEM mini.
Yeah, I recently ran a day long virtual conference with 12 different 7 person panels, separated by a 2 minute introduction by a conference chair. vMix with Teams NDI inputs worked great.
Here on RUclips watching channels like ours is a great way... The best way is to find companies that already have the gear you want to learn. Better if it's a company that contracts labor. Tell them you're looking for work and want to make yourself more valuable to them by learning their gear and systems. In most cases, companies like ours need to pay people for training or have them learn on the job. I'd bet most companies would gladly give you some free training or at least allow you to come in and train yourself on their gear. When people do that with us not only do they get to learn, they also move up significantly on our contractor list.
In this instance we just had an ATEM mini pro feeding into zoom. In a lot of scenarios we'll simply stream directly from the ATEM Mini Pro into vimeo, youtube, etc. But we do use OBS when streaming to destinations that the ATEM Mini Pro doesn't support.
Hi Mike, we pull audio from a single zoom drone via headphone Jack and it has everyone’s voice (besides our voices) in the feed and we push that into our audio mixer. If you are local in Arlington VA, reach out to us via email as we are always looking to connect with local guys snd possibly even hire crew for certain events and streams. Thanks!
Do you make a lot of videos like this & how to properly set something up like this? I'm really interested in this type of stuff! New subscriber to the channel!👍

@@westleyleonstudios Right here: ruclips.net/video/hK2vOV95lJA/видео.html
That cost a lot of money. What mean “talent”?
I love how every crew has its own way of doing things, they are so "not the same" but also "they work so they are ok" :D
You’re the man bro. Opening my office and studio tomorrow and I would def love to have you on our show. Learned a lot from you
I am in New York learning and taking notes. Please keep posting showing us how you guys get projects done.
It's like watching 20 youtube videos all at the same time. 😂
You make the complicated look simple. great job.
Excellent video Brandon and Brian. Can you explain how you did the back end communication with the talent without the audience hearing you?
I feel this brother. We run two man in studio ( two led walls, disguise, lighting, audio, cam op). Love how you did this in detailed explanation!
Nicely done. The video was easy to understand and gave me some great insights. Thank You.

I run a video production company. Your live streaming/broadcast industry is blowing up!! Great video, explained everything well.
This is so impressive. You've managed to make something very complex (look) relatively simple.
Amazing work, how come you dont use NDI tech as a source output from zoom?
oh my, i'm not complaining about my hot wheel's pc and 3 cam setup anymore. great work dudes!
interesting, I've always wondered how this stuff was done on a commercial scale
would love to have seen the set up. getting each person associated with buttons on the streamdeck
Wow. Good job. And your setup totally makes sense to me. At my last job i wonder, if i really need one computer for each instance (zoom, inserts, 'tape') but seeing you doing the same feels good. If one machine crashes, you don't lose it all.

Just making sure the transition goes well...."AD POPS UP"
That was very cool! And I thought I was doing alright with OBS and a midi for shortcut keys, haha
Great stuff… great to see you all doing good and working this tech… it’s fun seeing it all come together
FYI-
You can completely eliminate the potential hassle of “the talent has their mic muted” if you enable the option in settings. You can have full control over who is muted or unmuted on Zoom.
Only if the Allow host to Unmute before entering. Having a Talkback is still best practice.
Thanks for sharing man! This is out of this world tech! Seems very complex, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that complicated. If we only could get rid of the cableesssss.
Very nice, how do you get each zoom feed into your switcher? as NDI source or regular HDMI out?
Just a single HDMI out to a bmd converter which splits sdi to the switcher and hdmi to those displays on the wall.

@@RickMeasham That makes sense and is a good solution. Thanks. I’d like to see a video on that!
Yup, that's correct! Thank you! We picked the name up from other people in the industry -- they're just the zoom laptops.
You make it look so easy, I am still scared to touch my ATEM extreme during an event for fear of breaking something ;-)

Why you use only ATEM MINI without software streaming like OBS or VMIX with NDI to do such streaming?
Please do more videos like this!!

This is probably a dumb question, but for a newb, what's a Zoom drone? What the purpose/function?
i would love to have your macros for my atem switcher
Super interesting video! The efficiency is inspiring
how are you guys solving the animated transition? I think you guys are only person in the world having animated transition in atem!. I was thing about making a macro using media player and a delay but just can't make it work as smooth as A2Z Productions... :*(
Can you point me to the link about how you talk to them off line? I can’t see it 😘😘
Mind-blowing work! Perfectly done!
Thank you very much!
I've been working in the backstage e-sport competitions, so operating live stream is so hard, need teamwork, and a leader to command what to do next

So each laptop is used to capture individual cams? that's cool
What kind of bandwidth do you need for this kind of event?
Interesting to see how you do this but, fortunately, it is way beyond anything I'll ever have to do.
Another awesome video guys :-) You make it look so easy 😉 very professional. What’s your guys thoughts on SRT technology playing apart in the future re conferences (video quality, latency etc)?
SRT is future with H.265 or H.266!

This is brilliant.
How do you enable 5 box on ATEM 4ME ?

I use VMix…
Works great, with less gear!
Yeah, I recently ran a day long virtual conference with 12 different 7 person panels, separated by a 2 minute introduction by a conference chair. vMix with Teams NDI inputs worked great.
Got a stream tomorrow, 3 camera, NDI zoom and presentation….

@@A2ZProductions Great insight! I'll work on that. Thank you very much!
I have heard that live stream is deyaled some seconds or minutes.. So if something bad happens they can beep the audio or cut the video... Is it true?
Great video. thank you!!!!
Sorry if I missed it but what broadcast software do you use? can you just simply use OBS or is this setup too complicated for that?
In this instance we just had an ATEM mini pro feeding into zoom. In a lot of scenarios we'll simply stream directly from the ATEM Mini Pro into vimeo, youtube, etc. But we do use OBS when streaming to destinations that the ATEM Mini Pro doesn't support.
Hi mike from Arlington How do you handle audio for all callers
Hi Mike, we pull audio from a single zoom drone via headphone Jack and it has everyone’s voice (besides our voices) in the feed and we push that into our audio mixer.

I'm in Alexandria, VA.
Zoom drones are a brilliant Idea. I've been searching and pinning....hahaha
You should do more of this!
ever used vMix?
Yes, but we don't use it here at A2Z. The main reason is because the physical hardware suits us better for in person live events.
Do you make a lot of videos like this & how to properly set something up like this? I'm really interested in this type of stuff!

Live Q&A with the audience.
What’s the cost for such projects?
I also want to now :)
GoodWork, nice Setup. But next Time: do it with vMix Pro and vMix-Call.
Good one! I missed the explanation of how those 8 little screens work
It's just a single hdmi out to a bmd converter which splits sdi to the switcher and hdmi to the little displays on the wall.
