Can you do a CCLI v CCS video? Pros, cons, differences kind of video….

Be in a country with support and hope yours is a church of prayer and faith. Only one in three of these devices worked for me

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 TH-cam video from my Mac, we can display that as well. Thank you in advance, and take care!

what I want to do is create a video that will play Fullscreen for about 30 minutes, while I'm setting up my live stream, then stop I'm ready to start . can you tell me specifically how to do that?

Thanks for the review! This X1 Ultra sounds interesting… My church got a BirdDog P120 in 2022 that we weren’t as happy with as we would like (price paid for what we got- disappointed!). The image was decent and it didn’t have as much delayed frame rate as the old ones - one plus… but doesn’t outweigh the bad... It’s less responsive than the PTZ Optics Camera we’d had for 2 years, it flashes when you first change the preset, and the firmware update is atrocious (we are a Mac based system and had to borrow someone’s PC laptop to be able to update the firmware). WHY doesn’t BirdDog go more into the Mac space?

What are your recomendations if I want to get these PTZ cameras to record each camera feed for post and retain 4k image for output to a projector? I'm having a hard time finding a switcher that ISO records 4k. Is there a way to record 4k from the NDI stream in a computer or is there a 4 channel 4k recorder that can take the 4 camera feeds via HDMI?

That NDI has very noticeable Delay

Does it only support PTZ controls for OSBOT cameras? Or can I use the onscreen joystick to control other PTZ brands? I can't find any definite info about that.

Seems perfect for a mobile setup 👌🏽

Thank good Video.. what about shift worship software.

I just found your channel automatically subscribed!! I’m glad I found d you !! ❤❤

I use a atem mini pro and rodecasterpro. The rodecaster audio runs into the atem. How do I make audio work

Hey, What do you mean when you say you need to have some Networking I.T Chops?? is that just an other way of saying experience??

Pretty cool product.

Would be affordable for churches. Because they don’t play tax

Hey Ryan. Local to Seattle (Bellevue) as well. Wondering how well this works with Ecamm? I just started working with a church up in Mount Vernon using their setup. It's pretty nice, but interested in the X1 for my own personal use-specifically how well it might hold up as a live streaming camera out at Boeing Field? Besides Ecamm integration, also curious how this does with optical zoom and AI tracking. Maybe at some point, I can get you to come out with a unit and we can do a live test. :)

loving how the AIDA looks. thanks for the video!

I see you do not recommend using wireless on a streaming computer and I absolutely agree with that. However, I installed wireless as a emergency connection and I'm glad I did. One Sunday I walked in to find the internet was down. I turned on my cell phone hot spot and connected the streaming computer to my phone. I had to lower my stream bitrate somewhat and we went live using the phone.

Wireless would benefit in a trip hazard situation. I have surveyed rooms for wedding receptions and events with performers and it is always one spot I can't run anything other than power. You can battery power these cameras or use an outlet that won't cause a trip while still eliminating the ethernet run. The real issue is latency. I still couldn't use the camera wirelessly in those situations due to sync issues with the other cameras and audio mixing. It is good for extra shots, crowd reactions, etc. but I am not so sure about live shots along with wired cameras.

Hi, thanks, i have a X1 and love also the image quality, but how about the framing when you useAI auto traking?

When I hear this story, it strikes me as highly irresponsible behavior from the company. If "every single customer that you sold a BirdDog kit to was unhappy," it raises serious concerns about the company's practices and the quality of their products. This kind of widespread dissatisfaction is a red flag for potential customers and partners alike. Even if the company tries to shift the blame onto their partner, it doesn’t absolve them of responsibility. A reputable company should ensure that all aspects of their product and customer experience are up to standard, including the performance of their partners and suppliers. Simply pointing fingers at someone else is an attempt to dodge accountability and reflects poorly on the company's integrity and professionalism. Such tactics are not only unprofessional but also detrimental to the trust and reputation they hold in the market. Businesses and consumers should be wary of engaging with a company that displays such behavior, as it suggests a lack of commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. In the end, it’s crucial for companies to take full responsibility for their products and services, including any third-party partnerships. Only then can they build and maintain the trust of their customers and partners.

The PTZ optics Move 4K is only a couple hundred bucks more and is a 20x. They have great image quality for the price and have some really nice features.

This or the Roland SR-20HD, which I could grab for 100 Euros more at the moment?

Interesting, I was just researching them. We film indoor and outdoor live music events. We are a nonprofit and I built our mobile rig with Avkans, ATEM Mini Extreme ISO, and such. Since everything was out of pocket until we got our 501(c)(3) and we are stuck are 1080p and now I can go after in-kind donations. Our biggest issues are night time, low light settings. I'm glad you were honest with your review. NDI /HX should not be difficult and should not require high end network equipment because the bandwidth requirements are so low, so why is theirs? We have 2-20x and 2-30x, an iPhone 14 Pro Max on a Hohem gimbal/gimble, the ATEM, PoE switch, WiFi Router and a 5G cellular gateway for streaming all on a 20" xx 20" x 48" server rack with Dolly wheels. We can go into any venue and setup. BUT, I'm tired of buying optical HDMI cables. Unless your setup is static they break frequently. I WAS going to buy an Ultra for a stage cam (only 12x doesn't work for our main venue) so the WiFi-NDI/HX built in almost sold me. Currently, the ATEM requires us to use HDMI and Ethernet (for PoE and PTZ control) and the thought of just needing a power cord was great. I understand your reasoning for not caring about WiFi video/control because you are in a static environment, but if you have to go to different venues you wouldn't say that. It doesn't sound to me like you really know if the WiFi-NDI/HX combo is any good because you didn't need to try very hard. They vibrate - good to know because we are recording and streaming live rock shows and that will cause vibrations. All in All, thanks for the honest review and their promise of improved firmware as time goes by might be worth something. I will probably buy an Ultra off Amazon, give it a try, and then send it back. BTW, if you really think they are on to something I'd spend $7,500 and pick up 10,000 shares of their stock.

I did not have a great experience with this camera. It seemed to work fine when fully zoomed out, but when zoomed in it would look like it was dropping frames even though it wasn't. Maybe they fixed that in the firmware, but the issue felt pretty deep. Beyond the technical issues that I had, ultimately I chose to send it back due to the image quality. While it was in line with other PTZ cameras at the price point, it really wasn't great compared to the iphone 11 NDI camera I was using to A/B the image... Also, this video you can see the video tends to jump around (not talking about the jump cuts); it really doesn't feel natural to me.

I don't have colour grading menu in my mini edge

Thank you!

Truss is typically made from non magnetic material. - but I do like the cameras.

Can you do the same trick with the Atem Advanced Switcher 10, maybe using the select bus? Thanks

Just what I needed to learn, thanks very much.

It’s expensive damn it 😅

Wondering whether there's a way to to make it work with an Intercom System, such as Mars T1000...

How would it be used for PTZ cameras with an NDI setup?

Ashique pavrakkla

Who is the manufacturer of this unit? I'm looking for it and cant find it. Beautiful unit.

Great video. Ever get hit up by any churches in the nw burbs of Chicago?

Closed Caption, please!

If u going to test a camera u need it

wow. this thing is amazing.

great video.

This is an excellent video. I really didn’t know much about a PTZ camera for our church. This video really allowed me to spin up quickly

Hi my question is how do you connect your output from black magic atem mini extreme to your LED Wall Screen?

I do live streaming of our morning devotion on Facebook. This would be a perfect one for me.

I purchased one from Amazon and returned it within 2 weeks. 3 issues I found. 1st: Colors were muted and super flat color profile. You could have the camera set with a Rec. 709 color profile and it would come out looking like log. 2nd: the T bar glitch when going between transitions. 3rd: camera buttons would stick down. Summery: not worth the money. I really wanted to like it but I ended up getting a Atem mini pro and like it so far.

Where does PTZ control come in? Is the communication done via the HDMI of cameras?

Impossible due to zoom limits. Not all churches can put a camera in front of everyone. That is disturbing. I'm churches we need huge zoom.

Intro is really nice. Needs tightening up after, but main discussion is well done.

How does this compare to the Mini mx? Which one is more superior?

I’m trying to find but there is no much videos about using animated plugins or video ads in your stream. I need a solution not just to stream multiple cameras but I want to have my own graphics available, I want to play video ads during live stream, and still have no idea which switcher will let me do this. Does Blackmagic devices downstream video quality? If I want to record in each camera in 4k quality, will atem mini be able to downstream that signal to HD and stream? Thanks and regards.
