Steven, I Am running a setup that consist of: DN-312X Audio Mixer, BM 1 M/E Prod. Studio 4k Switcher, and a BM Web presenter. The production setup for the event consist of 3 cameras running SDI connection, Podium microphone XLR. How should my audio configuration look? Should I run the -Mic XLR straight to the mixer then to the ATEM switcher and then to the Web presenter? Or - Mic XLR to the ATEM switcher then to the Audio mixer then to the web presenter? There IS ALSO audio coming from the cameras via SDI that is not needed, yet the ATEM switcher is seeing it. Will that audio feed get utilized or do I need to turn it off on the cameras? I hope this question made sense and appreciate any direction/feedback that you can give. Thanks
Hello, many thanks for this amazing video, our newly procured, ATEM Television Studio Pro HD is displaying bluish video output on all the PGM and AUX output, the multiview display is okay though, can we be supported in resolving this issue?
I currently have a single camera setup and I use Wirecast instead of OBS and love it. I want to switch to 3 cameras using Data-Video PTC-140 cameras. What is the best way to get these cameras in to Wirecast and utilizing PTZ controller?
I'd say get an ATEM Mini ( amzn.to/3bQqhLc )and switch cameras outside of software. Then its just one interface in to the computer. Control of the cameras remains the same.
I'm stuck with my switcher SE-500, please i need procedures on how to set it up to my computer then projector and what are the right gears or tools to use
That's an analog switcher, so unfortunately it will cost more to do all the conversions to work with HD equipment then to just purchase a new Atem Mini line of switchers. If you need to drive a projector, you need an Aux output though, so you would need something like the Mini Extreme amzn.to/3pePwOC
Hi ! Thanks for your channel, I learn a lot ! I just bought a Atem TV HD, got all the cameras and computer to work on the screen of the Atem, but my hdmi multiview doesn’t work properly. I can see the multiview windows, the names of the cameras... but I don’t see any image of what my cameras see. Do you know why is that ? I was thinking of the hdmi câble maybe... and if I want to use the SGI multiview output, do I need to do a special setting into the Atem or not ? I’ve tried this but nothing appears on my tv. Thanks a lot !
Hi Steven this was useful am from India but it’s expensive here. But I have my friend in the USA so am planin to get it so where to buy and at a reasonable price. Plz send me information regarding that !!
Just want you to know I implemented your recommended system with the ATEM Studio HD and 3 R800s. Your videos helped me immensely. Even the one with the AJA Level A/B garbled screen was critically important for me. Thank you for making your videos! I am not all that impressed with the R800 optics, but this is a great place to start. Ideally I would like to use a DSLR for my wide angle shot. As for the ATEM Studio HD, wow; that is expensive and it seems to be well worth it. I also got a hyperdeck mini to record the program so I can edit and charge for the replays. Thanks again!
how do I reset the switcher, because the multiview display in my switcher is missing, there are eight frame boxes, and 2 preview boxes and PGM but there is no image display from each camera input
Hi Steven, we're using this exact setup (as per your recommendation) at our church. This includes the ATEM Television Studio HD, U-TAP SDI and Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorders. We're using OBS on Windows 10. We managed to get everything configured correctly, but the audio from the soundboard to the computer is not working. We have confirmed the audio is working on the switcher with headphones plugged into the audio jack. However, we can't hear the audio when plugging the headphones into the PC. The audio from the soundboard is plugged into audio port 1 and the U-Tap in plugged into PGM. As a workaround, we've plugged a cable from the switcher headphone jack to the microphone in on the PC., This actually works, but the audio quality is inferior. Can you think of any reason why the audio isn't working from the switcher through the U-Tap to the computer via USB?
Try this, in OBS on the u-tap in the source, go to it's properties (gear icon in source panel) and scroll to the bottom of the properties. They're will be a check box something like use another audio device, check that and in the drop down box that appears, just select the u-tap.
@@BallastMedia Thank you for your prompt reply! I have forwarded your suggestion to my colleague at the church. I'll follow-up here once he's had a chance to try it.
@@BallastMedia Following up on this topic. Your suggestion did work, thank you! We're now getting sound through the PC. However, when comparing the sound output with headphones, the quality through the video switcher is much cleaner and sharper than through the PC. We have checked our cable connections between the switcher and computer. Everything is well-seated and securely fastened. We have tried switching USB ports on the back of the PC, but it didn't make a difference. Do you have any suggestions to improve the sound quality from the video switcher through the u-tap to the computer? Perhaps it's sound driver related.
@@BallastMedia Hi Steven, I meant to follow-up and let you know that we finally got video streaming working properly. Fixing the aforementioned audio signal problem was related to device firmware updates and using the correct USB speed. Thanks again for all your assistance! I'm wondering if you have any advice for connecting an analog projector (mounted to the ceiling) to the ATEM as another video feed source. We want to share the slides shown during the sermon with the streaming audience. We tried a cheap VGA to HDMI adapter, but the ATEM doesn't recognize the signal. Do you know of a video converter capable of taking an analog signal and converting it to something the ATEM will recognize (via HTMI or SDI)? Something like the UTAP would be awesome. I checked AJA's website, but didn't see anything.
Hello!!! do you have any video with the Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M / E Prnoduction Studio 4K. I want to know how to connect 16 cameras and watch them all at the same time for a LIVE broadcast with 16 cameras. If I connect it to a PC, can I use the keyboard to change cameras in the transmission? As if the keyboard was the switcher?
The 2ME requires 2 multivew TVs to see all 16 cameras. Each multiview only shows 8 cameras. the ATEM 2ME has 2 multiview outputs. You can use the keyboard to control the switcher, but it only puts the camera on the preview bus, and you have to press another button to take or auto transition. I find it's better to use something like x-keys, or a streamdeck to control camera switching.
@@BallastMedia I consult you. I am looking for a switcher for 16 cameras and to be able to operate it from a computer keyboard. Is there a team that you know or that you recommend me?
I connected canon VIXIA HF R800 to ATEM Television Studio switcher , but switcher is unable to detect the camera. I set ATEM switcher format 1080ip59.94 , whereas the camera output only 1080ip60 . How to fix this issue.
How does OSB fit into the switcher equation? Does OSB just see all of the cameras as 1 input and you have to use the switcher buttons to change cameras? Great videos btw!
hello! i have two cameras 4k ultra hd 48 mp video. When i connect the cameras with my switcher (Black magic ATE Mini PRO), the screens of cameras close. Can you help me please?
Is that a mirror less or dslr camera? This is pretty common on some cameras to turn off the screen when the hdmi output is used. It's a "feature" of the camera, not much you can do but change cameras.
Laudelin Infante Do you have a video switcher? The quick method is to take an aux feed from your mixer and send that to your switcher. If you just have a subtle camera, send the audio from the mixer to your camera's audio inputs.
Hi there! We have a Canon Vixia HF R800 and a Canon XA15 but can't get them to sync together into a Blackmagic Television Studio HD. We're having some trouble lining up the video frame rates into the switcher. Can someone please help us. Many thanks in advance!!
Man, Is possible to connect three different models of cameras with different resolutions ? I mean, I have a Canon HD, a Sony non HD and a JVC everio HD all SD card cameras, Is possible to connect all to that device ?
The atem switchers require all cameras to be the same video standard coming in. You would be to pick one and use format converter to change the cameras that don't match. amzn.to/2UupKqs
Hi Steven, I'm am artist trying to set up a two or maybe three camera setup to use for both TH-cam and live streaming on Facebook and came across your TH-cam channel. I have watched several of your videos and WOW - I'm thankful I found you. Obviously I'm not a place of worship but your solutions to do what I would like to do seems like it would work for me and would appreciate very much if you could let me know what setup you would use to do what I just described. I already have a Canon Vixia HF R72 and plan on purchasing another except the 800. I will use one camera placed as an overhead camera over my painting which will show the painting as I am doing it along with my painting palette and mixing area. I would like the other camera to show me as I am painting. Can I use the AJA U-TAP computer interface - SDI - as you suggest or do you recommend a different one. Should I use the OBS software as well? As far as a video switcher, would the ATEM work for me or do you recommend a different switcher. I'm not a tech guru but you make creating the setups look so easy to put together, which I appreciate, I think I can put the equipment together ok and probably will need a tech savvy person to help me set up the software stuff. Thank you very much for your videos and I would seriously appreciate your advice on the above. Thanking you in advance, Gene
Take a look at some of my most recent videos about the Atem Mini. (or there is a newer model that was just released, the Atem Mini Pro.) I think that's the best thing going as far as interface and multiple cameras goes.
Question: is it possible to use one laptop for both ATEM control and live streaming via OBS? If I had the laptop connected to the internet via Ethernet, would the ATEM connect via USB? Or is a router necessary? Using Mac with Mini Recorder via Thunderbolt. Thanks for your video!
Yes, you can use the same computer. Use a switch to connect the ATEM & Computer to your internet connection, and then configure your computer and ATEM to be on a network address that will work on your network so they can see each other. (The USB connection to the ATEM is just used to set the IP address, all control through the software is over the network.)
Ballast Media thanks for your response! Sounds great. Looking for a Wirecast replacement as the endless upgrade cycle is getting a little old at $250/year.
Hi Stephen - Great video I currently livestream our Worship service on FB using a Canon XA30 and wirecast. I am was planning to purchase the BM TVS HD to add 2 HDMI cameras and to bring the Media Shout presentation to the livestream. Since the TVS does not have a HDMI out would it be possible to use the SDI OUT and a SDI to HDMI converter to record the mixed video to a Atomos Ninja 2? Thanks Raj
Hi Stephen, I have Atem 2/M production 4k and we always use HD format, now I want to use the UHD format because we have 4k cameras and CCU 4k also, I already change all the format, in the cameras, ccu, atem II but I still can´t see the signal. Do you know how i cant resolve this problem?
Not exactly sure, my first guess would be that the camera format and the ATEM video standard aren't quite the same. The UHD formats that the ATEM is compatible with are pretty specific. What video standard do you have your camera's set to? I assume you're running this over SDI? What video standard is the ATEM set to?
Would it be ok to use the same computer that you run the actual video stream on to also run the ATEM control software at the same time while steaming? Or is that not a good idea and would recommend to run separate computers? Similarly, what about if you were running software based audio mixer (DAW) during the live stream for audio mixing? Would it be ok to run all three on one computer? What combination might be ok to do and what’s be best scenario?
You can probably get away with running the atem software while streaming. I would not run a daw and stream, those two things each need their own computer.
If the camcorders I use only have HDMI output do I need hemlock to this atem? Because the switcher I use for now will cause unstable lantacy for about 20 seconds. I am wondering if I should change this atem. TKS!
MyNews99 Are you using a physical switch to switch between HDMI devices? Yes, a real video switcher like the Atem will solve the problem of the devices having to resync when you use a physical switch.
Ballast Media I use Roland V-1HD. I don't know if it is a physical switch. If so, do you have any suggestion for me? Or, if I can get the ATEM as a switcher to solve this problem. Thanks again for answering my question so soon.
I haven't used the V1hd but it shouldn't cause sync to be lost like that, it's supposed to be a video switcher. You should be able to fade between inputs. What devices are you connecting to the V1hd?
How can I see the cameras that are not on program (able to see the cameras on the preview screen) with Vmix? Since the I'm only take the output of the ATEM SWITCHER to the AJA U TAP and from there to my pc? Is it possible to be able to see a preview screen before I program it on Vmix or obs?
I am using a SDI to HDMI converter and then again HDMI recorder to take signal from ATEM to my PC. However, the converter is not BMD, but it is compatible for 1080p 60fps and still I am getting no signal when I tried to get Program output via SDI to HDMI converter. Do you know what might be the actual problem here?
Hi again!! The problem was because of cheap SDI to HDMI converter. Just today I have received original Blackmagic-design and it is working absolutely fine. But I am facing another issue. Facebook live video is terribly lagging at 720p.
If you have 22mbps upload that is great. (Your sure that's not your download?) As long as OBS isn't reporting dropped frames when you are streaming, then the lag is happening on the viewer end. You can help the viewer by sending a lower bit rate stream, try 2000 for your setting in OBS and see if that helps.
You will need a video interface. Only the ATEM Mini has a built in video interface to the computer, all other ATEMs only use the USB to set the IP address. Which ATEM do you have? Some have HDMI ouputs, some only SDI. You will need a video interface for that video type.
The ATEM has limited "media storage" built in, just a few seconds worth. If you need a decent amount of CG graphics, then you need to get an external device to generate them. The ATEM does have upstream and downstream keyers that you can use to key in any CG you have as a source. You can also control a HyperDeck for video playback from the ATEM control software.
Do you know of ways to do this without buying the Hyperdeck but instead using a computer setup to output into the Switcher's Input? Which combination of software would a setup like that use to play videos?
Then I'd recommend getting a switcher like in this video, the ATEM TVS HD is a good place to start. amzn.to/2PZKT8Z Then you'll need a way to take the video signal from the switcher's output and stream it to facebook. Use the system shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/2fggKym43hs/w-d-xo.html
So if you want to use multiple cameras, then I'd recommend getting a switcher like in this video. Then you'll need a way to take the video signal from the switcher's output and stream it to facebook. Use the system shown in this video: th-cam.com/video/2fggKym43hs/w-d-xo.html
Man we are ranting too about all those doubts we have, what if you make a video for the fastest easiest setup from scratch with Blackmagic switcher multi cameras and live stream? don't you thin is a good idea community?
@@BallastMedia we had input HDMI cable into the multiview thats why.So do we have to input into the PGM port. We have the ATEM , intensity shuttle and blackmagic SDI to HDMI. Is it okay to input PGM to the SDI to HDMI converter then the output HDMI into the intensity shuttle
@@BallastMedia its still not working We have 1) ATEM television studio pro HD 2) blackmagic design intensity shuttle 3)blackmagic design SDI to HDMI converter Is there anything else that we need? Or is there a video of yourself explaining how to setuP the ATEM with OBS
Sir when u used the xlr from the mixer will all cameras remain in sync - and if you are using the ATEM mini with line level (mic 1 or 2) (and sync) will all cameras be in sync to the audio or just the one camera you use to sync the audio ---- my overall question is how do u sync audio mixer with the newer ATEM mini switchers with mutliple cameras and all cameras have sync audio... thanks --
The audio in the mixer should be in sync with the cameras. Usually you only have sync issues when you bring audio and video in to a computer through different interfaces.
You are amazing , Great tutorial and very very helpful , 10000000 likes , I want to ask you with Semi Pro camcorder supports wife and has Stream option with IP address , How can We stream Live Video From this camera to Live TH-cam for our church ? Is there any Possibility to Stream Live to TH-cam . Our 2cameras are Sony PXW Z-150 and also we have Another DSLR canon 5D Mark4 , How can we Stream Live to TH-cam with out any wire if possible ,but if not what is your Recommendation???/ Many Thanks
I don't know what the WiFi capability of the camera is. Can you enter an rtmp server address and authentication key for it to connect to? If you have two cameras I'd recommend you get a switcher (like in the video) and run an SDI cable to each camera. Then stream using a computer and an AJA u-tap.
Hi sir, I'm using this exact setup . This includes the ATEM Television Studio pro HD, Intensity Shuttle for USB 3.0 and Canon5dMK4. I'm using VMIX on Windows 10. The video signal come to Vmix software on and off, i check the Supported Hardware list from Vmix.com, i can't see Intensity Shuttle for USB 3.0 on the list ( it has Intensity Shuttle for thunderbolt only), could you tell me what should i need to do please. Thank you
Not exactly sure, The obvious thing.... Make sure you are using the latest desktop video version. Also, is the intensity shuttle connected directly to the computer or through some sort of hub?
Stephen, when I plug my Sennheiser wireless mic into the XLR input on the switcher, it is super quiet. Do I need some sort of amplifier between the mic and the switcher? Can you recommend a device? When I bring in the audio through an HDMI along with one of my cameras, the volume is normal, I assume because the camera is amplifying...thank you!
Well Your World Yes the input of the switcher is line level and the mic is outputting mic level, so you need a preamp. I'd recommend a simple mixer, something like this: amzn.to/2MnE9zl or Even cheaper like this would work: amzn.to/2K4DPbH
I would like to stream worship service to Facebook. I will use a video switcher with out hdmi and a laptop. I will use also a video capture device to connect the switcher to the laptop. I have two capture devices in my mind: AJA U-TAP HMDI or Elgato Camlink 4K. According to your experience, what would you suggest me to buy between these two cards?
U-tap is definitely better - but to be honest at the moment with COVID, most of these are hard to find, so get what you can find. The Elgato will work fine on PC, it does have issues on Mac.
Thank you Stephen for your tutorial , is there any way to make Auto switch between cams using the auto tracking cams and ATEM Switcher? I mean (select the cam depends on who is talking)
Hello, i will buy two usb identical cameras , i want to record with this software two identical cameras with same framework and synchorism at same time easily. i want to have side by side mp4 video and after make a 3d video. . wich soft do you recomend me? Thanks! sorry for my english-
This is a minor issue, and hate to nit-pick; however, the AJA capture device is facing the wrong way. You probably did this so you could read the label. in the video The reason I mention this is to alert people new to streaming. You did a great job putting this video together.
Hi Stephen, we purchased this exact setup but the ATEM's image is flickering with all 3 R800's. What video standard should be used with these since the ATEM does not exactly have 30p or 60p? Thanks!
How video standard in atem software can be adjusted? Is it possible to set video standard at 720p and camera's hdmi resolution at auto selection can bring the video on atem?
Hi Stephen, I have the sdi output version for my atem. I'm puzzled over which component to purchase. Aja sdi to hdmi converter or a BMD video capture card, or both? Second, if I get the video capture card, do I need to buy a hyperdeck to record or can I record directly to the computer? My goal is to use a multicam system connected to the atem, record events, and live stream simultaneously. Is this something that can be accomplished with the components mentioned or are there more components required to accomplish the task?
I will do a similar thing, but i want to use roland v1hd instead atem, because of the missing hdmi output. But my question is, how do you record your stream? I want to use any videointerface that bring my stream to my pc and record at the same time. Because i can not use OBS for streaming/ textoverlay and recording at the same time. How do you do that?
ATEM does not work as encoder. Only the new ATEM Mini has a video interface built in. All other ATEMs require a video interface to get video in to the computer.
@@BallastMedia Thankyou for clearing the doubt and also is ATEM Mini sufficient enough to livestream the soccer match with just 2 or 3 cameras or do I still need an encoder or a powerfull CPU?
@@vishalpatelful the atem mini just acts as a video interface to get video in to the computer, you still need encoding software on the computer to do the streaming.
@@BallastMedia This has been so helpful. Thanks a lot. I request you to please make a video on sports event streaming because there are not many videos on it and beginners like me find it hard to understand some basic concepts. But Thankyou again.
I really like the video. I'm just starting to learn things to help my church present a better facebook live. Right now we are using an iPhone but I hope soon to use a camcorder. Thanks again.
Please help, Why when I add cameras to my switcher there's only one preview screen and all other box's are black but I have three cameras when select camera it shows but I can't figure out how to have all three camras showing on the screen. Thanks
In the ATEM Control Software, click the gear icon in the lower left, and there is a Multiview tab. In there you can configure what cameras show up in the boxes of the multiview. Recently BMD has started shipping the ATEM with the multiview set to Black as the source for all multiview, rather then the camera inputs.
Possibly a stupid question, but just curious why you need a video interface between the computer and the switcher? Why can’t you just use the switchers USB out?
genralaustin The USB is just for configuring the atem. It doesn't pass video. (The old tvs 1u rack version did, but even that was removed in a firmware update.)
HDMI was only designed to go 15ft. Get a converter. amzn.to/2JZfrZh Any HDMI cable longer then that is a hack or converting the signal somehow anyways.
Hello Stephen, I want to buy ATEM Television Studio switcher, but should i buy blackmagic design intensity extreme or minirecorder studio (Video capture cards) in between cameras and the switcher? thank you
The Intensity Extreme is a discontinued product. The Ultrastudio Mini Recorder will work for you. The ATEM has SDI output only, and the Mini Recorder will take an SDI input. There is one caveat, and that is that the Mini Recorder doesn't support 1080p60 video on the SDI input. What cameras are you planning on using with the ATEM? (Because of that, I really recommend the AJA U-tap SDI for you amzn.to/2G8lclx It costs a bit more, but it will work so much better.)
So, if i got ATEM TV studio, i have to get the video interface (both AJA U-tap and mini recorder? I was thinking to hook up the hdmi from camera to ATEM and from ATEM to Mac with hdmi or thunderbolt. (I am using Sony HXR-NX5R NXCAM Professional Camcorder)
Miressa Morka You just need one interface between the atem and the Mac. The BMD Mini Recorder will work for that as long as you avoid using 1080p60 as your video standard. If you need/want 1080p60 then get the u-tap instead. (Also, that camera has SDI output, I'd use that to the switcher instead of HDMI. You can run longer distances and it has locking connectors, cheaper cable, etc.)
Hi Stephen Thanks for sharing all those videos, they are very useful, great Job !!!!. Stephen I want to know if you can guide me, I am new to this, I bought an Atem mini pro to make photo tutorial videos but I could not connect the streaming, is there any way to connect the Atem direct to crowdcast? I like Crowdcast because they have a chat, password, payment system etc, but I can't connect it or if you know of another friendly platform that can have all these characteristics? Any help will be greatly appreciated, I look forward to your comments, blessings!
Yes, if you're streaming service isn't listed in the drop down, you need to edit an XML file on your computer (in the Atem Control Software directory) and add the information. Then it will show up on the ATEM.
@@BallastMedia Hi Stephen, I already tried the XML file but I could not, I want to see if I can connect the ATEM to Crowdcast direct without OBS, thank you very much for your answer, excellent your videos, keep going, God Bless you!
Just purchased a television studio HD and a u-tap with sdi conversion. Just curious if the SDI cable I purchase to connect the switcher to the aja box matters, or if you have a recommendation?
I am using a Panasonic AG-HMX 100 audio and video mixer. If I send my video through SDI to the AJA U Tap is the audio following down the SDI cable into OBS OR do I need to get the audio into OBS in another way Thanks
We just bought a Sony Ipela and we are having trouble getting it to work with our ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio. My teacher and I have looked everywhere for help.
I was thinking 150 feet, I guess I can just get a long SDI port. I just wish there was something less labor intensive to set up and break down. Also, I wish there was a switcher system that was more intuitive, for example, when you use the audio, I would like it to come out of L and R rather than just one or the other. There is no easy way to get LR audio without adding in another task.
Can you use the ATEM and Stream with the same computer? Because in order to use the ATEM it needs to be Ethernet so how can you use 1 computer for the atem and OBS?
Yes you can, you just connect them through a switch. You'll need to configure the ip address of the atem to work on your network and be accessible to your computer.

Did you by chance change the video standard of your switcher? (e.g. what resolution and frame rate it's operating at)
Hi Steven, we're using this exact setup (as per your recommendation) at our church. This includes the ATEM Television Studio HD, U-TAP SDI and Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorders. We're using OBS on Windows 10. We managed to get everything configured correctly, but the audio from the soundboard to the computer is not working. We have confirmed the audio is working on the switcher with headphones plugged into the audio jack. However, we can't hear the audio when plugging the headphones into the PC. The audio from the soundboard is plugged into audio port 1 and the U-Tap in plugged into PGM. As a workaround, we've plugged a cable from the switcher headphone jack to the microphone in on the PC., This actually works, but the audio quality is inferior. Can you think of any reason why the audio isn't working from the switcher through the U-Tap to the computer via USB?
Try this, in OBS on the u-tap in the source, go to it's properties (gear icon in source panel) and scroll to the bottom of the properties. They're will be a check box something like use another audio device, check that and in the drop down box that appears, just select the u-tap.
@@BallastMedia Thank you for your prompt reply! I have forwarded your suggestion to my colleague at the church. I'll follow-up here once he's had a chance to try it.
@@BallastMedia Following up on this topic. Your suggestion did work, thank you! We're now getting sound through the PC. However, when comparing the sound output with headphones, the quality through the video switcher is much cleaner and sharper than through the PC. We have checked our cable connections between the switcher and computer. Everything is well-seated and securely fastened. We have tried switching USB ports on the back of the PC, but it didn't make a difference. Do you have any suggestions to improve the sound quality from the video switcher through the u-tap to the computer? Perhaps it's sound driver related.
@@realistindenial What audio bit rate do you have OBS set to? It could be the compression that is happening in OBS that you are hearing?
@@BallastMedia Hi Steven, I meant to follow-up and let you know that we finally got video streaming working properly. Fixing the aforementioned audio signal problem was related to device firmware updates and using the correct USB speed. Thanks again for all your assistance!
I'm wondering if you have any advice for connecting an analog projector (mounted to the ceiling) to the ATEM as another video feed source. We want to share the slides shown during the sermon with the streaming audience. We tried a cheap VGA to HDMI adapter, but the ATEM doesn't recognize the signal. Do you know of a video converter capable of taking an analog signal and converting it to something the ATEM will recognize (via HTMI or SDI)? Something like the UTAP would be awesome. I checked AJA's website, but didn't see anything.
Hello!!! do you have any video with the Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M / E Prnoduction Studio 4K. I want to know how to connect 16 cameras and watch them all at the same time for a LIVE broadcast with 16 cameras. If I connect it to a PC, can I use the keyboard to change cameras in the transmission? As if the keyboard was the switcher?
The 2ME requires 2 multivew TVs to see all 16 cameras. Each multiview only shows 8 cameras. the ATEM 2ME has 2 multiview outputs. You can use the keyboard to control the switcher, but it only puts the camera on the preview bus, and you have to press another button to take or auto transition. I find it's better to use something like x-keys, or a streamdeck to control camera switching.
@@BallastMedia I consult you. I am looking for a switcher for 16 cameras and to be able to operate it from a computer keyboard. Is there a team that you know or that you recommend me?
Thanks
I connected canon VIXIA HF R800 to ATEM Television Studio switcher , but switcher is unable to detect the camera. I set ATEM switcher format 1080ip59.94 , whereas the camera output only 1080ip60 . How to fix this issue.
hi steve ever use the "remote" on it what is it for
Hi Stephen, so if you're just inputing 1080p30, will the mini recorder recognize that signal? Thanks in advance for answering.
Yes, 1080p30 will work with the Mini Recorder.
How does OSB fit into the switcher equation? Does OSB just see all of the cameras as 1 input and you have to use the switcher buttons to change cameras? Great videos btw!
Yes, I think your on the right track. With a switcher you would just use one source in OBS and that is the switchers output.
hello! i have two cameras 4k ultra hd 48 mp video. When i connect the cameras with my switcher (Black magic ATE Mini PRO), the screens of cameras close. Can you help me please?
Is that a mirror less or dslr camera? This is pretty common on some cameras to turn off the screen when the hdmi output is used. It's a "feature" of the camera, not much you can do but change cameras.
How do you connect the audio for live stream to use the microphones that is be use by the Pastor and not the camera bild-in mic? Thanks
Laudelin Infante Do you have a video switcher? The quick method is to take an aux feed from your mixer and send that to your switcher. If you just have a subtle camera, send the audio from the mixer to your camera's audio inputs.
Hi there! We have a Canon Vixia HF R800 and a Canon XA15 but can't get them to sync together into a Blackmagic Television Studio HD. We're having some trouble lining up the video frame rates into the switcher. Can someone please help us. Many thanks in advance!!
Have you tried 1080p59.94?
Man, Is possible to connect three different models of cameras with different resolutions ? I mean, I have a Canon HD, a Sony non HD and a JVC everio HD all SD card cameras, Is possible to connect all to that device ?
The atem switchers require all cameras to be the same video standard coming in. You would be to pick one and use format converter to change the cameras that don't match. amzn.to/2UupKqs
Hi Steven, I'm am artist trying to set up a two or maybe three camera setup to use for both TH-cam and live streaming on Facebook and came across your TH-cam channel. I have watched several of your videos and WOW - I'm thankful I found you. Obviously I'm not a place of worship but your solutions to do what I would like to do seems like it would work for me and would appreciate very much if you could let me know what setup you would use to do what I just described. I already have a Canon Vixia HF R72 and plan on purchasing another except the 800. I will use one camera placed as an overhead camera over my painting which will show the painting as I am doing it along with my painting palette and mixing area. I would like the other camera to show me as I am painting.
Can I use the AJA U-TAP computer interface - SDI - as you suggest or do you recommend a different one. Should I use the OBS software as well? As far as a video switcher, would the ATEM work for me or do you recommend a different switcher. I'm not a tech guru but you make creating the setups look so easy to put together, which I appreciate, I think I can put the equipment together ok and probably will need a tech savvy person to help me set up the software stuff.
Thank you very much for your videos and I would seriously appreciate your advice on the above. Thanking you in advance, Gene
Take a look at some of my most recent videos about the Atem Mini. (or there is a newer model that was just released, the Atem Mini Pro.) I think that's the best thing going as far as interface and multiple cameras goes.
I have an X32 going to my DAW, how do I send audio from it to my ATEM for my livestream?
How are you getting audio from the x32 to the DAW?
@@BallastMedia out of the USB from the X32
Question: is it possible to use one laptop for both ATEM control and live streaming via OBS? If I had the laptop connected to the internet via Ethernet, would the ATEM connect via USB? Or is a router necessary? Using Mac with Mini Recorder via Thunderbolt. Thanks for your video!
Yes, you can use the same computer. Use a switch to connect the ATEM & Computer to your internet connection, and then configure your computer and ATEM to be on a network address that will work on your network so they can see each other. (The USB connection to the ATEM is just used to set the IP address, all control through the software is over the network.)
Ballast Media thanks for your response! Sounds great. Looking for a Wirecast replacement as the endless upgrade cycle is getting a little old at $250/year.
How much does the switcher cost?
Superb video!!!
How do you compare the Decimator HX cross converter to the datavideo DAC-70?
They do basically the same thing, the DAC-70 includes a VGA input that the Decimator doesn't have.
Hi Stephen - Great video
I currently livestream our Worship service on FB using a
Canon XA30 and wirecast. I am was
planning to purchase the BM TVS HD to add 2 HDMI cameras and to bring the Media
Shout presentation to the livestream. Since
the TVS does not have a HDMI out would it be possible to use the SDI OUT and a
SDI to HDMI converter to record the mixed video to a Atomos Ninja 2? Thanks Raj
Photo Bot Yes, it should work fine to convert the output of the switcher.
Thank you.
Hi Stephen, I have Atem 2/M production 4k and we always use HD format, now I want to use the UHD format because we have 4k cameras and CCU 4k also, I already change all the format, in the cameras, ccu, atem II but I still can´t see the signal. Do you know how i cant resolve this problem?
Not exactly sure, my first guess would be that the camera format and the ATEM video standard aren't quite the same. The UHD formats that the ATEM is compatible with are pretty specific. What video standard do you have your camera's set to? I assume you're running this over SDI? What video standard is the ATEM set to?
Would it be ok to use the same computer that you run the actual video stream on to also run the ATEM control software at the same time while steaming?
Or is that not a good idea and would recommend to run separate computers?
Similarly, what about if you were running software based audio mixer (DAW) during the live stream for audio mixing?
Would it be ok to run all three on one computer?
What combination might be ok to do and what’s be best scenario?
You can probably get away with running the atem software while streaming. I would not run a daw and stream, those two things each need their own computer.
Appreciate your insight. You’ve been very helpful
If the camcorders I use only have HDMI output do I need hemlock to this atem?
Because the switcher I use for now will cause unstable lantacy for about 20 seconds.
I am wondering if I should change this atem.
TKS!
MyNews99 Are you using a physical switch to switch between HDMI devices? Yes, a real video switcher like the Atem will solve the problem of the devices having to resync when you use a physical switch.
Ballast Media I use Roland V-1HD. I don't know if it is a physical switch.
If so, do you have any suggestion for me? Or, if I can get the ATEM as a switcher to solve this problem.
Thanks again for answering my question so soon.
I haven't used the V1hd but it shouldn't cause sync to be lost like that, it's supposed to be a video switcher. You should be able to fade between inputs. What devices are you connecting to the V1hd?
Ballast Media Panasonic Camcorders with HDMI output
Ballast Media I use dissolve, which is also understood as fade effect between two video source.
I have a question for you. Can I use Blackmagic Design ATEM 1 M/E Studio 4K Switcher with my vMix application?
Yes, but you will still need a video interface to get the video from the switcher in to your computer running vMix.
How can I see the cameras that are not on program (able to see the cameras on the preview screen) with Vmix? Since the I'm only take the output of the ATEM SWITCHER to the AJA U TAP and from there to my pc? Is it possible to be able to see a preview screen before I program it on Vmix or obs?
Can i use decklink capture card?
Sure!
I am using a SDI to HDMI converter and then again HDMI recorder to take signal from ATEM to my PC. However, the converter is not BMD, but it is compatible for 1080p 60fps and still I am getting no signal when I tried to get Program output via SDI to HDMI converter. Do you know what might be the actual problem here?
Aditya Kuche Can you tell me what specific models you are using? My first guess is thatsomething isn't able to operate at 1080p60.
Hi again!! The problem was because of cheap SDI to HDMI converter. Just today I have received original Blackmagic-design and it is working absolutely fine. But I am facing another issue. Facebook live video is terribly lagging at 720p.
Are you using OBS to stream? What is the upload speed of your connection? What is your bit rate set to?
Yes I am using OBS to stream. Upload speed is roughly 22 mb/s and my video bit-rate is set to 2500.
If you have 22mbps upload that is great. (Your sure that's not your download?) As long as OBS isn't reporting dropped frames when you are streaming, then the lag is happening on the viewer end. You can help the viewer by sending a lower bit rate stream, try 2000 for your setting in OBS and see if that helps.
how to configure atem switcher to obs ???
You will need a video interface. Only the ATEM Mini has a built in video interface to the computer, all other ATEMs only use the USB to set the IP address. Which ATEM do you have? Some have HDMI ouputs, some only SDI. You will need a video interface for that video type.

CG Graphics and Video playback?
The ATEM has limited "media storage" built in, just a few seconds worth. If you need a decent amount of CG graphics, then you need to get an external device to generate them. The ATEM does have upstream and downstream keyers that you can use to key in any CG you have as a source. You can also control a HyperDeck for video playback from the ATEM control software.
Do you know of ways to do this without buying the Hyperdeck but instead using a computer setup to output into the Switcher's Input? Which combination of software would a setup like that use to play videos?
I playback video with casparCG.

When I bring in the audio through an HDMI along with one of my cameras, the volume is normal, I assume because the camera is amplifying...thank you!
Well Your World Yes the input of the switcher is line level and the mic is outputting mic level, so you need a preamp. I'd recommend a simple mixer, something like this: amzn.to/2MnE9zl or Even cheaper like this would work: amzn.to/2K4DPbH

You can record the feed as well. OBS can stream, or record, or both at the same time.
How do you set default settings so that everytime you boot the device up it doesn't reset settings such as transition timings and fade to black?
Save startup state in the file menu of the atem control software.
Please help,
Why when I add cameras to my switcher there's only one preview screen and all other box's are black but I have three cameras when select camera it shows but I can't figure out how to have all three camras showing on the screen.

In the ATEM Control Software, click the gear icon in the lower left, and there is a Multiview tab. In there you can configure what cameras show up in the boxes of the multiview. Recently BMD has started shipping the ATEM with the multiview set to Black as the source for all multiview, rather then the camera inputs.
@@BallastMedia thank you !!
Possibly a stupid question, but just curious why you need a video interface between the computer and the switcher? Why can’t you just use the switchers USB out?
genralaustin The USB is just for configuring the atem. It doesn't pass video. (The old tvs 1u rack version did, but even that was removed in a firmware update.)
I wish to be a live streamer professionally... But I don't have any of those equipments.. can't afford it.. I hope to have one
i just have a question, can i use 100 feet hdmi cable from camera to ATEM Switcher? or should i buy hdmi to sdi converters?

Hello Stephen, I want to buy ATEM Television Studio switcher, but should i buy blackmagic design intensity extreme or minirecorder studio (Video capture cards) in between cameras and the switcher? thank you
Miressa Morka Do you have a mac or PC?
I have Mac
The Intensity Extreme is a discontinued product. The Ultrastudio Mini Recorder will work for you. The ATEM has SDI output only, and the Mini Recorder will take an SDI input. There is one caveat, and that is that the Mini Recorder doesn't support 1080p60 video on the SDI input. What cameras are you planning on using with the ATEM? (Because of that, I really recommend the AJA U-tap SDI for you amzn.to/2G8lclx It costs a bit more, but it will work so much better.)
So, if i got ATEM TV studio, i have to get the video interface (both AJA U-tap and mini recorder? I was thinking to hook up the hdmi from camera to ATEM and from ATEM to Mac with hdmi or thunderbolt. (I am using Sony HXR-NX5R NXCAM Professional Camcorder)
Miressa Morka You just need one interface between the atem and the Mac. The BMD Mini Recorder will work for that as long as you avoid using 1080p60 as your video standard. If you need/want 1080p60 then get the u-tap instead. (Also, that camera has SDI output, I'd use that to the switcher instead of HDMI. You can run longer distances and it has locking connectors, cheaper cable, etc.)
Wonderful video. Well done!

Any help will be greatly appreciated, I look forward to your comments, blessings!
Yes, if you're streaming service isn't listed in the drop down, you need to edit an XML file on your computer (in the Atem Control Software directory) and add the information. Then it will show up on the ATEM.
@@BallastMedia Hi Stephen, I already tried the XML file but I could not, I want to see if I can connect the ATEM to Crowdcast direct without OBS, thank you very much for your answer, excellent your videos, keep going, God Bless you!

very helpfull. thankyou for share
Just purchased a television studio HD and a u-tap with sdi conversion. Just curious if the SDI cable I purchase to connect the switcher to the aja box matters, or if you have a recommendation?
genralaustin As long as it's rated for SDI (RG6 cable) and has bnc connectors then it's not too critical.
Belden is a good brand. I usually go here and choose the length I need. amzn.to/2GHzitf
Lot's has changed since then :-)
I am using a Panasonic AG-HMX 100 audio and video mixer. If I send my video through SDI to the AJA U Tap is the audio following down the SDI cable into OBS OR do I need to get the audio into OBS in another way Thanks
Jeff Bridge Yes the audio from the mixer should be embedded in the SDI output.
We just bought a Sony Ipela and we are having trouble getting it to work with our ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio. My teacher and I have looked everywhere for help.
Most likely its a video standard issue. What video standard does the camera output? What video standard is your ATEM set to?
Ballast Media I’ll find out tomorrow morning and I’ll let you know.
But what if the camera is not near the switcher?
Black Film Guild What is the distance? Usually you'd convert to SDI and run an SDI cable from the camera to the switcher. amzn.to/2GhJ7yM
I was thinking 150 feet, I guess I can just get a long SDI port. I just wish there was something less labor intensive to set up and break down. Also, I wish there was a switcher system that was more intuitive, for example, when you use the audio, I would like it to come out of L and R rather than just one or the other. There is no easy way to get LR audio without adding in another task.
I don't follow you on the audio. Are you talking about your camera, or the ATEM?
If you've got the cash, you can always do something like the Teradek Bolt. That will get you 300ft wirelessly. $$$ amzn.to/2GEv6uk
Might have to worry about interference though....
Does the Canon VIXIA HF R800 connect directly to the ATEM Television Studio HD or do you have to use a Decimator for the frame rates?
If the atem is set to 1080p60 it will give an image. Otherwise you'd need a decimator, or the cheaper BMD UpDownCrossHD works as well amzn.to/2Gqvg6r
Can you use the ATEM and Stream with the same computer? Because in order to use the ATEM it needs to be Ethernet so how can you use 1 computer for the atem and OBS?
Yes you can, you just connect them through a switch. You'll need to configure the ip address of the atem to work on your network and be accessible to your computer.
What do I ask for when buying the RG6 cable to connect to the switcher and what should I use to record for distribution?
RG6 is a cable specification, so if it's RG6 your good. (It has slightly thicker cable and better shielding then RG59)
