We get tons of questions and support calls about "bad audio" in the live stream. Almost every time, it's because there is a clipping volume control somewhere in the audio chain.
In this video, we take you on a journey (trust me) to figure out how to start at the beginning of the audio chain for each channel and ensure your live stream mix is clear and sounds great.

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!
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 :)
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.
That's a great question. My assumption is that it controls them through the NDI connection - however I'm not 100% sure. Right before we tested this out, we moved all our PTZ cameras to a new studio. We'll have to do some testing on that and get back with you.
@@ChurchSetup Thanks!! I'd really appreciate the update about that. I know that any camera connected solely over HDMI will probably not be able to be controlled by it (you can't control PTZ over HDMI, not that I know of at least). But if this product can control other brands of PTZ cameras over NDI, VISCA, or something similar, it will be a godsend for our use case. Looking forward to hearing more about this product!
Seems perfect for a mobile setup 👌🏽
It would be good for that, yeah!
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??
Sorry. Yeah 🙃 It means you need experience and a measure of expertise. In our experience, BirdDog's NDI needs a some tweaking of settings to get it to work right. Otherwise, performance suffers. If you're using their NDI, you also need an AV-level switch that can prioritize video data with low latency. But, if you're not depending on NDI, none of that really matters.
@@ChurchSetup AWesome thanks for the feedback. Just invested in X1's for my channel so consuming as much info about them as I can atm as I try to get them working ;)
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. :)
@@jeremyhubbell sounds like a plan. What are you shooting at Boeing? The footage examples in this video are all recorded through eCamm. 😁
@@ChurchSetup Mainly Boeing test jets (777x, 737-10Max, etc.) but anything interesting really. With Seafair coming up, the Blue Angels should be there as well as Fat Albert and probably a handful of other cool planes. The point is to be able to live stream air traffic at the airport for a few hours on the weekends. We're doing our first tests this weekend with a FX-30 on a RS3 Mini gimbal and a Osmo Pocket 3 but I'm already thinking I'll need more zoom and AI tracking would be bomb.
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.
When I say wireless, I generally mean WIFI - as in the LAN wifi to connect cameras, etc. In a pinch, streaming from a hotspot is viable. The ATEMs and the Yolobox for example all tether to your phone so you can use mobile data to stream. As long as the upload speed is enough, there's nothing wrong with it.
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.
Ah! Good point, I hadn't considered that kind of a use case. Yeah, I'm not sure what kind of wireless router you would need, and even with a AV-level wireless router, you never know what kind of interference is going to affect your signal and speed. Even hard-wired, these cameras seem to need very specific networking to reduce latency for NDI.
Hi, thanks, i have a X1 and love also the image quality, but how about the framing when you useAI auto traking?
I haven't tested the auto-tracking yet. It's the complaint of most PTZ cameras as autotracking features usually zoom to whatever is best for their algorithm. Canon's is more sophisticated, but it's a $1250 add-on to the already higher-priced cameras. Canon's new firmware has free autotracking, but it's limited so it might have the same issue. I've yet to find an autotracking engine that I LOVE. Hopefully soon.
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.
You should understand all the facts. Yes, there were problems they tried to fix. In the end, BirdDog refunded every single one of our customers the full price of their cameras and equipment. The company is a legitimate company and not out to pull one over on people. They just did not execute on a product very well, which made us pull the plug on them. However, it seems like they are rebooting and taking a new step forward fixing the past issues. If they follow through, they will be a market leader. If not, they won't.
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.
The Move-4K is our best-selling camera. The pricing is about a $500 difference between the X1 Ultra and the 20X Move-4K - the 12X Move-4K is $1799 and the 30X is $2199. But if I had to choose, I would probably still choose the go with the PTZOptics just from being gunshy. PTZOptics is the best brand we work with, by far.
@@ChurchSetup I know $500 is a lot of money, but for the quality and durability it’s a no brainer. Buy once, cry once.
This or the Roland SR-20HD, which I could grab for 100 Euros more at the moment?
THat's a great device, but it's 2 HDMI sources only. That's a steep price for a 2-camera setup in my opinion. For a desktop streamer or talking-head kind of show, the Roland is excellent.
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.
"There are somethings wrong with it. It just worked for the most part."
I don't have colour grading menu in my mini edge
On the Menu of mini-edge from V2.1 version, you will find "Color Management" on the bottom of Menu, after you enter color Management, you will see configuration details.
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?
No NDI support at this time. I reckon they could add that in a future firmware update, but for now it's strictly VISCA control.

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?
It’s over the network via VISCA
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.
Exactly. It's main use in a large auditorium is for creative shots, like in a drum cage or next to a musician or something. THe bigger optical zooms are needed for normal PTZ work.
@@ChurchSetup Yes, they are amazing, hope one day the include zoom and better optics. The tech seem to be already there.
I believe so. It takes the VISCA protocol too so joystick controllers can do it as well.
@@ChurchSetup that sounds pretty amazing
@@ChurchSetup Ok, that is a key.
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?
Hey Carlos, here are the key differences between the two. Hope this helps. Thanks. 1. The Mini MX has a touchscreen, but the Mini Edge only works with buttons. 2. The Mini MX can play media from a USB drive, while the Mini Edge can’t. However, the Mini Edge can connect a USB camera as a fifth video input. The Mini Edge supports 8 audio channels, and the Mini MX supports 10. 3. The buttons on the Mini Edge can be customized for quick functions. Overall, the Mini MX is better for complex, professional content production, while the Mini Edge is easier for beginners.
@@Cooper-RGBlink that was perfectly explained! Simple & concise exactly what I was needing to know. Thank you so much! I am happy to say that I made the correct decision on purchasing the Mini MX. I am a beginner however I am hoping to become more of an advanced user and being able to know that I have room to expand & grow with if I shall need with the purchase of the Mini MX. I greatly appreciate your help & response.
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.
