Thanks for the info on the Intensity Shuttle. I already had that for my video synth which was working for composite connectivity. I bought a Sony video camera that only seems to output at 1080p60. Been fighting with the the Shuttle and Blkmgic Express for the last hour. Really frustrating that it won't support 1080p60.

I have not been able to confirm this, but I've heard reports you can use this device and it will successfully negotiate the HDMI connection between camera's and input devices that don't support 1080p60.

[@mikepruett1745]

have you gone over a pc and how much process speed u need?

[@torgeirhauge]

First of all: Thank you for a a great channel! We are building a multi camera set up in my local church in Norway, and have watched many of your videos with great interest! This may be a stupid question, but what is the difference between the BMD Intensity Shuttle and an encoder. As far as I can see, the Intensity Shuttle is cheaper than, for example, the AJA HELO or BMD Web Presenter.

[@BallastMedia]

The Intensity Shuttle, AJA U-tap and BMD Web Presenter are all video interfaces. They convert a video input in to a "raw" video stream that is passed to your computer. An encoder (like the BMD H.264 Pro Recorder) "encodes" meaning it compressed the video in the hardware of the device, before passing it to your computer as a compressed video stream. Many streaming software, like OBS act as the encoder for streaming - hence the reason they don't work with the H.264 Pro Recorder. Limitation of the Intensity Shuttle is that it doesn't work with all video formats.

[@BallastMedia]

The devices like the H.264 Pro Recorder and HELO take some of the processing burden off of your computer. It can also be useful for recording because it makes the file size smaller, which in turn means you don't need as much disk space and as fast drives to record video. As far as streaming goes, most software now acts as the encoder, and with computers getting faster it's becoming less of an issue.

[@torgeirhauge]

Wow, thank you for quick and clarifying answer! Would you recommend us to invest in a device like HELO, or is it unnecessary if the goal is streaming to Facebook and post embedding to homepage?

[@BallastMedia]

Torgeir Hauge Not necessary. I'd go with the AJA U-tap for streaming.

[@14othniel]

Silly question, but when you plug the HDMI into the camera and the blackmagic device, the camera onboard mic will work when streaming online?

[@BallastMedia]

I recommend you follow this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJfKmH6voplmntU) and use the AJA u-tap. You'll need to take the HDMI feed out from the camera through a video interface to get it in to a computer. The USB is only used to transfer already recorded files. Also, for most video interfaces, they won't support 4k, so you'll need to make sure the camera is set to output an HD resolution on it's HDMI, which usually just means setting the camera to an HD format for recording.

[@electricalelectronicstech9613]

[@trevorjacob]

What about Mac? Can you stream live on youtube with an external camera?

Sure, OBS works on Mac. Depend on what ports your Mac has, if you have usb3, you can use the Aja u-tap, or if you have thunderbolt only you can use the thunderbolt version of the shuttle, or the Mini Recorder.

Unfortunately, HDV (firewire) isn't really supported by any current software. (OBS doesn't support it for video). That camera doesn't have any other HD outputs, so you'd be stuck using the composite video output to an SD video capture device (like this: amzn.to/40ja75p) But really you're better off getting a newer camera that supports HDMI output or SDI.

[@BallastMedia]

cludford Unfortunately, that's correct. I haven't found a good solution to get them to work together yet other then a scaler/format converter. Even for +$300, that's still going to be less then you'll pay for most cameras that can force the video standard on the output.

[@BallastMedia]

Bruce Audie When you go through the "connect" tab instead of the "camera" tab on fb there is the added functionality to embed your stream on your website. Also, if you only have a single camera, you can do other things in OBS, like cut away to a graphic, etc. It gives you a bit more flexibility. Other then that, no.

[@bnaudie]

It sounds like the audio/video quality will be the same either way? Just starting to do this, so maybe I'll keep it simple and use FB directly while I explore the features in OBS. Thanks!

Hi sir , i have a 4k Panasonic camera so, what is the good hardware unit and software for giving live through skype and QQ international in windows...

[@BallastMedia]

Are you wanting to stream in 4k? Then you will need a 4k capture card - and a whole lot of bandwidth. But if you are just wanting to use that camera for an HD stream, then the AJA u-tap should work fine. You should be able to configure the camera to output an HD signal on the HDMI. amzn.to/2LLZ01z

[@snapshot6289]

Was going with you 800 camera recommendation but seems each one mounted would be fixed.

[@BallastMedia]

Ya, the R800 won't work with the AG-MX70 video mixer - unless you were to down convert the HD signal from the cameras to SD. But by the time you do that, you may as well pay for an actual HD switcher. Check out the ATEM TV HD: amzn.to/2Uitv0R

[@romariosamir]

very useful, thank you alot.

[@harishmrudangam]

Hi mate, is there a possible way to use it as a Webcam instead of the live stream on FB? Thanks

[@BallastMedia]

Yes, there is a plugin for OBS, virtual cam that turns the output of OBS in to a camera that shows up on your system.

[@harishmrudangam]

@@BallastMedia Got it, Thank you so much!

[@bnaudie]

I am currently livestreaming a single camera through a BMD into my Mac. And recording onto the camera at the same time so that I can edit the video for posting on KZbin later. What would be a good choice for a basic switcher so that I could use multiple cameras? What would then be the best way to record the video on my Mac so that I can edit it and post it to KZbin later? Thanks.

[@BallastMedia]

The Blackmagic Designs ATEM TVS HD is a good simple switcher to start with. amzn.to/2GrHfPv Then you could get an AJA U-tap SDI to get the video in to the MAC, and you could record in OBS. amzn.to/2Cx4WU9 If you need to send the video to more then one place, use a distributor on the output of the switcher. amzn.to/2HuLYkQ.

[@saiprasad1366]

Thank you so much sir why because I am using the OBS

[@ALBUMJSK]

please can i used tue ultrastudio mini recorder with my pc (windows) ?

[@BallastMedia]

No, the mini recorder only has thunderbolt connections.

[@ALBUMJSK]

@@BallastMedia even with an adapter? yet on the site of blackmagick is written compatible with Windows and Mac! I because I already bought it. on the internet with an adapter.Gofanco mini display port (thunderbolt2) please help thanks.

[@BallastMedia]

@@ALBUMJSK Give it a try, theoretically if you do have a pc with a proper thunderbolt port and the appropriate windows drivers for it, it may work.

[@ALBUMJSK]

@@BallastMedia thank you very much :)

@@BallastMedia if not, you can advise me another cheap device ?simply with pc windows

Hello. Need your help. Just acquired the blackmagic television studio hd, blackmagic design inensity, 2 sony nxcam, video capture card, blackmagic converter(sdi to analog), avercapture hd. PLEASE HOW CAN I SET UP MULTICAM LIVE STREAMING

[@santiagogalarzagualaceoecuador]

saludos amigo tengo una canon xa35 si me funcionaria bien ??

[@BallastMedia]

It should work fine. I believe in the professional canon cameras you can go in to the menu -> system setup and find the 1080p output. Turn that to OFF, and you should be ok to work with the Intensity Shuttle. Please let us know if that works!!

[@kcalhoun0580]

Hi. I recently just returned my ux90 because I could not get any feed to show through on BMD media express. How were you able to get anything show? Is there a setting within the camcorder that needs to be changed?

[@kcalhoun0580]

I am using a BMD mini recorder.

[@BallastMedia]

kcalhoun0580 Just set the video standard of the camera to anything other then 1080p60.

[@BallastMedia]

Mini Recorder shouldn't be any issue. Using HDMI or SDI?

[@kcalhoun0580]

Ballast Media Any suggestions as far as possible settings for the UX 90 to get it show?

[@BallastMedia]

A couple thoughts... Make sure you aren't on a 4k setting. Set the camera to an HD settings, like 1080. Since you're talking about Media Express, you must have Desktop Video installed (good! you'd be surprised how many people don't install it and wonder why the camera signal isn't showing up!) Check that you have the latest version of Desktop Video installed. The SD card that comes with the Mini Recorder usually has an old version. As long as your sending signal that is supported, it usually doesn't take much to get video to show up in Media Express.

[@JmackJah]

Do I have to set up a fan page or can I use a personal page. I tried using an interface box from LiveStream but it only worked if I used Facebook live via our church Facebook page.

[@BallastMedia]

I do believe you have to setup a page, yes.

[@cludford]

Any other recommendations

[@BallastMedia]

I have not used this device, (so take this advice at your own risk!) but it's the cheapest HDMI scaler that claims to do what you need. amzn.to/2A2MfKL I think they have it on B&H for about $80

[@charlesmarz9620]

How the blackmagic capturer conects to your computer?

[@BallastMedia]

USB3

[@sukhbirsingh890]

can you please describe here the software links used for live streaming fb, i m using macbook air , macos , also the hardware needed for this.

[@BallastMedia]

This is what I recommend now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJfKmH6voplmntU It works the same on Mac or PC. OBS software is available for both, and the AJA u-tap will work on either.

[@MarcinSteczkowski]

Hi, can You tell me what is my problem. When I connect my camera (Sony RX100V) HDMI 1080p 24, or auto, I don't see a capture video. I see only black window in Black Magic Media Express. When I click log nad capture button nothing happens. Still only blac window :/ When I connect Olypmus OMD E-5 MII - it is the same problem. HDMI cabel is working with TV and Monitor. The Black magic Intensity Shuttle is new. Mabey You can help, no support from Black Magic, and in internet :/

[@BallastMedia]

Are you sure you're setting the HDMI output format, and not just the camera's internal recording format? (In the toolbox menu - HDMI Settings, not the Camera menu) My first guess would be that it's outputting 1080p60 on the HDMI, which the Shuttle doesn't support.

[@judequinston]

Hi Ballast, I'm looking for a capture device with 4 hdmi inputs. Or i will go for 4 capture devices with single hdmi input. Which one you recommend according to the video delay. If i use 4 devices do i get 4 different video delays? Share your idea please. Thanks

[@BallastMedia]

Jude Quinston What are you doing with 4 inputs? No single interface will support that many, its just way too much data. It takes a USB3 connection to support a single uncompressed 1080p60 link. And you would be a monster computer to support 4 individual interfaces. I think you are taking the wrong approach. Get a switcher to connect all your inputs and then connect the output of the switcher to a single interface in to the computer.

[@judequinston]

Ballast Media i mean i want to connect 4 canon HF R800 cameras thru hdmi to Vmix software is it impossible to use 4 hdmi capture devices on my pc

[@BallastMedia]

It's definitely possible. You might take a look at something like the Decklink 8K, it is supposed to be able to handle 4 HD-SDI inputs simultaneously. go.magik.ly/ml/9u59/ You'll need a computer that can support that data flow though, and I'm not sure how vMix would handle the different sources from the same card. While it's possible, you could just use 4 video interface devices, my concern would be how reliable it would be in the end. In all honesty, you'd end up spending so much on a computer to support it, when you could purchase a switcher for $1000 (amzn.to/2ouCJJu) and a computer to stream for $500 (i7/16GB amzn.to/2GL8ULC) and that is a proven reliable way to do multi-camera. And, using a hardware switcher opens up a lot of other possibilities, like integrating with your projection system, etc.

[@ryanellis3865]

im using a roland v1hd and i have the output going into my mac. I have no idea how to get that signal into adobe premiere. is that possible? what should i be using to record a video podcast with a switcher. not trying to stream, live just wanna record and upload to youtube later. please help!

[@BallastMedia]

You can use OBS to record as well, it's not just for streaming.

[@ntshembomashaba2937]

I have a switcher and tried as per previous videos but camera(Canon D3400 and camcorder(Nikon Legria) can't appear on pc or OBS. What am I missing? I connect using HDMI

[@Chulo69x]

I'm using a Logitech 920 can you make a video on using the lower end Cams such as the one I'm using, for Facebook Live?

[@BallastMedia]

That webcam should just show up on your system and you can use it in FB Live from the Camera tab. Is there anything in particular that you'd want to see?

[@giaophandanang]

I am using intensity shuttle Usb3.0 to livestream with OBS. However, the image from the camcorder displayed through OBS is jagged when the image is moving. I do not know how to solve this problem. Can you help me solve this problem? Thank you very much

[@BallastMedia]

Ban Mục Vụ Truyền Thông Giáo Phận Đà Nẵng Sounds like your camera is set to interlaced. What video standard are you using? Do you have a switcher or just one camera?

[@giaophandanang]

I follow the standard SD Video Standards, I plug directly from the camcorder to Intensity shuttle

[@BallastMedia]

What camera is it? Is it set to an interlaced format, or progressive?

[@giaophandanang]

This one I do not know, because the cameraman just gave me the plug and asked me to choose NTSC system only

[@BallastMedia]

So most likely the camera is set to an Interlaced format. As your cameraman to change to a Progressive format.

[@JmackJah]

One more question. The stream key... where will that be located? Is it generated by the software or can it be found on the Facebook side?

[@BallastMedia]

It's found on your page. Publishing Tools -> Create -> Live Video -> Connect tab.

[@BallastMedia]

Look at about 3:20 in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f33QnY1op96anM0

How do you get in house sound mixer audio to Obs per this setup? Thanks
