I recently purchased the 400s and ran into the same difficulty with frame rates when connecting to an ATEM. (I didn't do my homework and thought it just passed what ever the camera put out.) However, I think I found a work around. At least at 60p/59.994, without needing a video converter. (Also worked at 60i/59.94!) You cannot use the SDI out for this, it Must be the HDMI. If you power up the 400s while connected to and HDMI input on an operating ATEM, the output will "Mostly" not be recognized. However, if you start with the 400s already powered on, then power up the ATEM, it will pass video! I say mostly not recognized because in my testing, if you power down the 400s for some reason (After it was working with the ATEM) then power it back up, the ATEM will pick it back up almost every time. As long as the ATEM was not power cycled with the Receiver off. It seems the ATEM is able to workout what ever handshaking is going on during power up to get the HDMI connection going. And yes, it appears you can shut off the transmitter if you want to conserve battery and switch it back on, the ATEM will pick it up no problem as long as the receiver has remained powered on. I have tested this with an ATEM 1 m/e 4K, and an ATEM 4K Production Studio. Both running the latest firmware update as of this comment.
The biggest downside to this is the frame rate outputs. I myself am running the bmd tvs so I need exact frame matching. I’m still going to get it though as the price is great and if I need to I will get the converter box to conform to what I need.
Thanks for hard working and giving relief on church capturing, please d you have a link or video how to connect Beringer 32 mixer to Canon xA11 for life streaming
Hi Stephen...just came across your channel a few days ago and I have to say your explanations and how to's are a life saver and very much valued. I am having problems pairing my aja utap device with my new Acer 713 spin chromebook to go on Facebook live because I cant use OSB on my chromebook. A message comes up to say that no device is paired despite the USB 3 connection from the aja going directly into my chromebook via usb 3. Would you know what the problem could be here?
Thanks for posting this! Is there any difference between the 300, 400, and 400s models besides distance (300' vs 400') and connectivity (HDMI vs HDMI+SDI)? We recently tried Nyrius Pro+ but am getting poor performance (dropped signal and grainy video) so looking to maybe switch to one of these. Our sanctuary is 84' in length, so I'm considering, and our system is all HDMI. So I'm wondering if the 300 model would suffice for our needs. I would still want to prioritize low latency if that makes a difference between models.
Ya, the 300 will probably be fine for you. Just be sure you located the Tx and Rx in a way that they can "see" each other. The 300 doesn't have the iOS/Android app connection, but it doesn't sound like that will be an issue for you.
One thing I've noticed in testing using the Mars 300 pro enhanced (with latest firmware) was that while I could sync with my video and audio from other cam sources through A/V delay... The longer I use the wireless camera the more out of sync it gets. It stays sync for just under an hour (once synced) but starts getting out of sync again after an hour. It's as though the longer we use it the worse the video latency becomes.
What are you sending the video in to? What is your path from the receiver? Not saying it might not be the mars, but usually latency that changes after a long time like that is a resource issue on a computer.
@@BallastMedia work flow. Canon hf m40 hdmi out through Mars 300. Distance from TX to RX always less than 30 ft. Convert to sdi via Blackmagic micro. SDI run 75' to Magewell quad pro sdi capture card into an i7 8700k dedicated streaming pc running wirecast latest version.
What's the difference between these systems and the wireless hdmi systems that are $130? I'm having a hard time finding the answers to this actually. Can't seem to find the difference
As with anything RF, the more line of sight the better the reception you will get. We have the base unit in our sound booth in our balcony, and it works fine with our camera operator, who is located under the balcony, and to our video director who is in an adjacent room (not line of sight at all.) You'll probably get decent penetration through one wall.
Hi There, great video! Thank you so much. Quick question, are you able stream with a Panasonic Camera directly to the transmitter as well as iPhones wirelessly back to the receiver connected to the ATEM mini pro and be able to function as two cameras when you switch cameras on the ATEM? And function that same way through OBS As well? If that makes sense...
You can convert AV to HDMI, but it's still going to be SD resolution. You'd need a format converter to scale it up to HD. Quality won't be great though.
I just got the Mars 400s and I’m getting ready to return it. I did a job the latency was very noticeable. I did test it was 16 frames off. I’ve been using the camwave cw3 for few years it’s about 6 frames off. Can you make a video how to test the latency? Thank you in advance.
Have you switched it to "speed" mode? Are you running through any other devices in your path? What camera, and what else is in your path to the destination? (I do have a video about checking latency: th-cam.com/video/UCmr0KwbXxA/w-d-xo.html)
@@BallastMedia thanks for the reply. the job i did this weekend, the wireless camera (sony z190 50' away) went to the switcher (Lumantek ez-Pro VS4). From the switcher to screens. Yes i did switch to speed. in the test there was nothing in the path, here is the video test i did th-cam.com/video/bCCKi8issDY/w-d-xo.html
Can I live stream using wireless hdmi to two cameras or do they have to be wired ? Please excuse the doubling up of questions...but if I understand it correctly, there is no need for a capture...
Good question. It takes whatever video standard (resolution and frame rate) is coming in to the UpDownCross HD, and it outputs a video standard that you configure it to. So for example, if you have 1080p60 and need 1080p59.94, it will make the conversion, or even if you have 720p59.94 and you need 1080i29.97 or whatever, it will output the format you want, no matter what the input is.
And another quick question. Do you have any guidance about Presonus 24.4.2 ai connectd to PC via Firewire 800. How to configure in capture software by presonus. Thanks
Please always keep in mind you do not have privacy on these. If your production has confidential content then do not use them. Or explain to your client why his footage is live streaming on TH-cam ;)
Thank you! This video answers to many of the questions I had about the Mars 400s!
Our church picked these up last week, they are a great buy!
What sliders are you using ??
Awesome video! By far the best and most useful and appropriately informative content regarding this particular product.
Many many 🙏 thanks 😊

Very nice info I was going to buy one but I realized the upper models are superior but much more costly.
I measured a delay for this model: about 150ms for HDMI to HDMI and 300ms for SDI to HDMI
The biggest downside to this is the frame rate outputs. I myself am running the bmd tvs so I need exact frame matching. I’m still going to get it though as the price is great and if I need to I will get the converter box to conform to what I need.
We use the hollyland cosmo 1200 at my church. Its VERY nice! 0ms latency.
and I literally just asked this question yesterday lol
Could you do a Video about your camera sliders? How you use them in live production and wich ones you recommend. Thanks for your content!
They don't make the exact model I'm using anymore, but I'm using a Rhino Camera Gear slider similar to this: go.magik.ly/ml/ygvm/

Hi Steven, please mention that the latency is double when running lower frame rates. e.g. 25 / 24p will have a higher latency in ms than 50p/60p.
Live video is not good
Image is motion
Thank you for the clear information.

Latency, stability of the link, packaging (eg these have metal cases). Resolution and frame rate you can transmit.

The wireless system just "extends" your HDMI cables. You still need to get that HDMI in to a video switcher/encoder or computer for live streaming.
Thank you for responding.Now I have another question.I viewed a private video but found it to be glitchy...how can I rectify this issue?

Really depends on budget. What is the best camera for your budget is the better question to ask. So, what is your budget?

You'll need a way to capture the HDMI output from the receiver in to your computer.

Can you please explain the BMD UpdowncrossHD
Good question. It takes whatever video standard (resolution and frame rate) is coming in to the UpDownCross HD, and it outputs a video standard that you configure it to.
