Good stuff Marcus it's such a pleasure seeing someone who knows there business and can articulate it in straight forward, simple, concise manner without being cute about it.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you found this video helpful, and I'm also glad my delivery worked......I find that conciseness is hard for me at times, I want to dig into the "why" instead of "just push that button." Aaaaanyway, cheers!
Nice setup! You can always replace the shinobi with an iPad.. run the feed from the Hollyland to the iPad. Lighter, larger screen, no cables, and no extra battery.
yep! I also use my ipad, and it's a good reference because........a LOT of people watch live streams on Apple Products, so it's a good way to see how it will look to the world, even if I'm using a "more professional" monitor on my end. My most recent change to this setup was purchasing the Hollyland Mars M1 Monitor which has a built-in transceiver so I no longer have to have the receiver mounted on top of the monitor. My only issue with using an ipad is that, if I want to switch, I still have to carry my phone, and I usually want one hand-free, so I'd have to have a phone/ipad mount that fits in one hand. You can certainly build out a small rig to hold both, but the monitor/iphone/tripod setup for me is still my preferred way to go IF I want to switch. Anyway, onwards!
You bet! I want to do a 2nd video where I use the "MixEffect" app, the only reason I didn't do that in THIS video is that the MixEffect app is NOT made by Blackmagic, it's a 3rd party app. But, the MixEffect works really well.
Ok is the following scenario possible? I use a camera on a tripod to film the wide shots on weddings. That same camera will be used for live streaming. I will set up my atem mini pro in a corner and the atem will have internet access through my iphone connected on the atems type c. I want to control and monitor the stream. So, can i connect an ipad on the same network ( the iphone will be a hotspot) to load MixEffect and use a small monitor connected with the atem through hollyland mars 300 pro to use multiview? And also, is the multiview compatible with those monitors? Because i saw that you were only using it in full screen. I hope i didn't confuse you with this!
How does a Remote Desktop app differ from the Vnc app. You said you were screen sharing on the Mac but your also using a vnc app. Please elaborate. I’m trying to control my daw software on my iMac from my iPhone, wirelessly. Thank you
Hi there. So, think of it this way: The computer you WANT to control has to have some sort of service running on it and turned on so that another device can FIND and remote control it with proper credentials/security allowance, etc. Then, once the "computer-you-want-to-control" has that service running, it can then accept connections from a "device-you-want-to-use-as-a-remote-control." So, it's always 2-parts: Part 1: Computer-you-want-to-control ("Server') Part 2: Device-you-want-to-use-as-a-remote-control ("Client") For the "Computer-you-want-to-control," (Server) there must be SOME service installed or turned on to allow something to connect to it and remote control it. Years ago, Apple did NOT have that service built-in, so you would have to install a 3rd party piece of software to allow a Mac to be controlled.....specifically a VNC Server piece of software since there was usually a free-version somewhere out there. This is where I got familiar with VNC, because VNC also comes in 2 parts: VNC Part 1 - VNC Software ("Server")......The service installed on the "Computer-you-want-to-control," that allows that computer to be remote controlled BNC Part 2 - The software on the " Device-you-want-to-use-as-a-remote-control" that connects to Part 1 ("Client") Windows has had this style of remote control feature built in to their operating system for a LONG time (Remote Desktop), but remember that on either Mac or Windows (or even linux, etc), there are always 2 parts: Server and client. This is how large companies operate a whole lot of servers (and I used to do this in my IT job years ago). You'd have a room full of servers in refrigerator-sized cases, running Windows 2000 or Windows XP Server, or Windows XP Pro (home-version didn't have the server-part available), but almost all of these servers in server-rooms all had the required Remote-desktop-server-software installed so you could remote-control-it......and you'd walk around with a single laptop and connect to the server to remote control it's desktop and make changes, etc, then disconnect from "Email Server," and connect over to "firewall server" and do some work there. So each server in the rack didn't have its own keyboard, mouse, and monitor, that would take up way too much space.......most people used Remote Desktop. Also remember that EVERY version of Windows had a remote desktop CLIENT so you could connect TO a Windows computer that had the Remote Desktop SERVER piece installed. ........Again, "Server" vs "Client." Luckily, Apple started putting "Screen Sharing" in their Operating System as a default piece of software, which is the same thing as VNC/Remote desktop, etc, it's a "server piece of software" that allows remote connections from "clients," and has the ability, of course, to send a full video-preview to the "client" so that that client (your iphone, another laptop), can SEE and interact with (keyboard/mouse) the other "server" computer. So, on Mac now, you no longer have to install a 3rd party piece of software (VNC Server), because it's built-in to the Mac and is located in System Preferences > Sharing > Screen sharing. But, that's just the "Server" piece on a Mac that's turned on and ready to accept connections. And, now, on a "client' computer or device (another laptop, iphone, ipad) that's on the same network, you can now find and connect to the "server" mac. But, you have to have SOME sort of client-software on the "Device-you-want-to-use-as-a-remote-control" to be able to communicate properly, view the display and interact with the display, etc. On another Mac, you can use the "Screen Sharing client" to connect to the server mac and remote-control-it. But, "Screen sharing" isn't an App on an iphone or ipad, it's not part of ios as far as I can see.......but luckily, the "Screen sharing server" component that's running on the Mac through System preferences CAN actually be controlled from any VNC client-app (I think it's actually using VNC code underneath the hood). So, I just use a free VNC-app on my iphone as the "client" and I connect to the "server" (My Macbook Pro with screen-sharing turned on), and my phone can now see my Mac screen and remote it. So, you could absolutely control your DAW like this, as you're literally seeing and able to interact with EXACTLY what's happening and viewable on your laptop/comptuer screen. It's definitely NOT the most efficient way of doing it, but you can, as long as you are familiar with and good at the VNC client app's interface. And of course, remember, all of these computers (servers and clients) have to be on the same local network, aka your own home wifi or hard-wired into your router. There are other options, like using Avid's Pro Tools remote control, which is connecting directly to the Pro Tools software (again, must be on the same network), and that is available on ipad ios......it's not viewing your entire laptop screen like screen sharing, it's just a specific app for Pro Tools only, and I've never used it, but always kind of wanted to when I was recording more multi-track stuff, but nowadays I control more live-mixing consoles with my ipad rather than software. Looking through the Apple App store, I see a few different DAW remote control apps that can control Pro Tools, Logic, and Ableton Live, so, you might try one of those........of course you'd have to be using Pro Tools, Logic, or Ableton Live as your main DAW on your main recording computer. There's also an app called "ProRemote" in the Apple App store that looks like it can control a lot of DAW's.......although some of the feature may not work in all DAW's (like Cubase, Reaper, etc).......but, worth a shot, the app is free! I hope that helps, good luck!
ha! Yeah, I guess it is. But, in my full time career of live-show-production, this is actually quite a small amount of gear in comparison. For a home-studio, yeah, a lot of gear. But for large shows, it's just a fraction of what I can see and deal with every day. But, it's all still a lot of fun!! Cheers!
Hi there Leonardo. As long as your iphone can send its video signal to the ATEM, then yes, you can use your iphone as a camera-input into the ATEM. The main thing to keep in mind is that if you use the default camera-app on the iphone, you'll still see all of the on screeen controls over at the ATEM (kind of "what you see on the iphone screen is what you get on the HDMI output.....plus the camera isn't full-size on the output, it's got the black borders, again, with all of the camera controls). However, if you use Filmic Pro, that app has a "clean HDMI output" option, then that particular app will literally send a clean, full-screen, output of the camera. I think the new version of filmic pro will let you use it without subscribing/paying, you just wouldn't be able to export recordings, but if you just need it for a live-camera feed from your iphone, it works great. I literally just went and tested this with my iphone & ATEM. You'll of course need the lightning-to-HDMI conenctor for the iphone. But here's a video also explaninng/showing how to do this from Tim Simpson: th-cam.com/video/KJ2ORHcMCiY/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
Hi there. Any Macbook pro can connect to the ATEM Mini Pro and run the free software from Blackmagic. The ATEM switchers do not need a powerful computer, as the software is just sending commands to the switcher. You could even use a Macbook Air. Good luck! (I had to use Google Translate to read your comment, but I'm glad it worked) :)

Sheesh that’s a lot of gear

Your system sounds great. The shame is I’m. Mac person
Thank you!
Could you use an iPhone as a camera instead of a controller?
Hi there Leonardo. As long as your iphone can send its video signal to the ATEM, then yes, you can use your iphone as a camera-input into the ATEM. The main thing to keep in mind is that if you use the default camera-app on the iphone, you'll still see all of the on screeen controls over at the ATEM (kind of "what you see on the iphone screen is what you get on the HDMI output.....plus the camera isn't full-size on the output, it's got the black borders, again, with all of the camera controls).

привет, какая версия макбука подходит для атем мини про
Hi there. Any Macbook pro can connect to the ATEM Mini Pro and run the free software from Blackmagic.
