Atem Mini - Live Streaming to Facebook Live

[@a.kay.c]

You are blessing my church. Thank you and I praise God for your videos!

[@marcusmcgill5393]

Your videos are so helpful for livestream. Out of the countless videos I watch, yours seem the most strait forward. Thank you for making your tutorials so east to follow, these have been great!

[@michaelmims1281]

Thank you for your video! I have looked at so many other videos who rush through the process and left me confused. You walked through each step and helped me to understand my previous errors. After this video, I was finally able to access my Facebook live and see the footage going from my camera, through my ATEM and into my computer on my live feed! Going to look at some of your other videos for Lower 3rds and live switching on multiple devices. God bless and keep up the great work on your videos!

[@alismith2022]

Just for clarification's sake, the ATEM Mini uses usb-c not lightning. So the cable you used is usb-c to usb-a cable to connect to your pc. Awesome video. Can't wait to get mine.

[@BallastMedia]

Correct, but it's the connector that apple uses for "thunderbolt 3"

[@DouglasCouto1984]

Your videos are always tremendously helpful and professional. I always enjoy your content and really appreciate you taking the time to do these.

Thank you very much for this excellent explanation. I was having an audio connection issue with Rødecaster Pro and Atem Mini Pro which was due to having the mic input on "mic" rather than "line" - changed it as you instructed and now it's working perfectly. I output audio via monitor output on the Rødecaster Pro and input to Atem Mini Pro through mic 1 input with a suitable cable as you demonstrate. Thanks again.

[@dirkjuchert656]

Thanks for your videos! They are amazing. I just tried to follow your OBS setup and the look and menus have changed totally. The part of 'properties for atem mini' and so on. New Atem mini Pro is announced. To late for me I received my Mini today. Keep up the speed please

[@JuusoHoo]

do I need necessarily OBS? for youtube...? Anyway thanks for the tips!

[@socalducky]

@9:56 Are we supposed to select the USB port as the camera selection? Great video explanation, well done!

[@BallastMedia]

What you are seeing there is me selecting my laptop webcam in the browser, so the USB input from the Atem isn't in use and can be used by OBS. Once you switch to using a key instead of a camera, that setting is irrelevant to your settings, other then making the atem available to OBS. (Also, most of these settings look different on Facebook now, but the general idea is the same, they like to change how things look every few months, but it still works the same.)

[@Overtheroad-fp6it]

thanks for sharing and helping the streaming world ... i have a canon xl2 camera and i was wondering if you can recommend a bnc to hdmi converter is so many of them .wich one is good for this camera .thanks

[@BallastMedia]

That is an SD resolution camera, so you are going to need more then "bnc to HDMI" converter. What is coming out of that camera on it's bnc connector is analog composite video - not SDI digital video. (Even though they both use the same connector type, it's totally different) If you are looking to capture video from the camera in to a computer, you actually need an analog video capture device like this: amzn.to/2LFpx3e and then convert the BNC output of the camera to RCA with this: amzn.to/2JYghGH

[@idCidade]

Hi there Steven. Greetings and blessings from Portugal. We have a question if you could help us. In our small (for now) church in Porto, Portugal, we just recently started to stream liveI our services online via Facebook. Due to lack of funds to buy a dedicated decent camera (so far), we are using an iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd Gen 2019) to live stream the services. We figured the video and sound quality would be much better than using a smartphone to stream. With the help of a small sound interface - Roland Rubix 22 - connected to the iPad, the sound is turning out OK (we just need to be careful with some possible peak distortions that sometimes happen). The problem is the VIDEO. Honestly we are not too happy with the video quality. It's not even HD quality. When we download the video from Facebook to upload it on our new KZbin channel, it has to be downloaded in SD format. The lighting is good, the internet wifi quality is decent (5G - 100Mbps upload) so that's not the problem. The iPad video record settings are 1080p HD - 60 fps. Should we set it higher? For instance, 4K - 60 fps? Or is it Facebook live that doesn't allow better picture quality? I understand you know a lot about streaming. Could you give us some ideas? - I leave you here our live video from today for you to have an idea of what's coming out: facebook.com/idcidade/videos/236138000928701/ Thanks Steven for your help. Unlimited Blessings to you, your family and ministry. (Eph 3:20) Paulo Batista Igreja da Cidade (City Church - Porto)

[@pastorrichardtorres]

Hello how are you? thank you for taking the time to help with all of the information needed to get Streaming going for all of us small churches that don't have all of the huge resources. I wanted to ask a question that may not be related to this video but hoping you can help me with it. I want to know if it is too much for a computer to manage for 4 cameras via HDMI to video capture devices using OBS?

[@BallastMedia]

There are a couple factors to consider. the 1st is if this is a laptop, will the USB buss be able to provide enough power to power all the USB capture devices needed. If you are on a desktop you could add another PCIe usb card to get additional power. The 2nd issue is just if the laptop CPU is up to processing that much data, you'll need a pretty high end processor and lots of ram.

[@pastorrichardtorres]

@@BallastMedia Thank you for such a prompt response. We are currently using OBS on iMac a couple of years Old. It was purchase on 2018 I believe. We now have 3 Video Capture Cards connected to 3 HDMI cameras and wanted to add a forth Camera at that point I wanted to see if adding a 4th Video capture device will make our system overload. right now on while streaming our service OBS reports about 40 to 60% CPU usage. I didnt know if it would be better to invest on the Atem Switcher.

Need your help.Our two televisions in the atrium of our church are being fed by coax (rg58) from an old video camera.We are installing a new permanent camera that will be fed into cam2 of the item switcher.I would like to use the output of the item mini switcher's "HDMI OUT"to feed the televisions in the atrium.Can I use the Blackmagic HDMI to SDI converter with power supply?The output of the converter would require BNC to F adapters.

No, only one device can use the video input. But you can install the OBS virtual camera plugin and the OUTPUT from OBS can be sent to Zoom as your webcam.

[@Ari_Diaz]

Awesome Video...Do you think the ATEM mini can be modified to go to wireless camera setup? Would be nice to see a video on that topic.

Hi there!! Thank you for the video!! Quick question, Is it possible to connect a wireless video transmitter to the ATEM, because I want one camera wireless??

Great video, thanks for posting. I have a very basic beginners question. Up until now I have been using web cams and NDI for camera feeds with OBS, but I want to progress to live event productions now. So im looking to connect DLSRs or Camcorders via HDMI to my computer to then stream a live event via OBS to Facebook as with your video. Up until now I have been using OBS to create scenes and switch between them, with animated intro scenes and title overlays. Just wondering why it is better to use something like a the ATEM mini instead of just using OBS to switch scenes as I have been? I assume its a number of reasons lol. 1. you need something to connect the HDMI cables to your computer, the mini does that?. 2. The buttons on the mini are more intuitive than clicking through scenes in OBS?

[@BallastMedia]

Yes, your reasons are correct. While you can do it all in OBS with multiple capture devices, the ATEm simplifies things and gives you buttons to touch.

[@joaustin1]

Great video. Do I still need a encoder with this

[@BallastMedia]

Do you mean encoder or video interface? The Mini acts as a video interface to get video in to your computer (the computer is the encoder). The atem Mini Pro has an encoder built in, and doesn't require a computer to stream.

[@joaustin1]

@@BallastMedia thanks so much for your reply. I think I understand. I only have one camera at this point and was looking for a encoder, but it seems like this will do the job and also allow me to add more cameras in the future.

I am working with Mediashout 6 for my media computer and I have the Atem mini with OBS on a separate computer. I am not getting anything from Mediashout into the mini. Did you mention that the settings for resolution must be 1080p for both the computer and the mini? Also do I understand that the mini hooks via HDMI directly into media computer for lower thirds, etc.?

[@BallastMedia]

Yes, you should set your computer's display output that is going to the Mini to 1920x1080. (connect that same HDMI to a TV and see if you are getting the image you expect first, that will rule out your software/computer being the issue.)

[@theresaquijano2479]

on the R800, is there a charger cord to keep the camera plugged in for the service? would the battery life last? we have 2 services.

[@BallastMedia]

The Mini switcher I'm showing in this video is no longer available. Blackmagic now only sells the Mini PRO (at the same price the Mini used to be). The Mini PRO can be configured to output a multiview from it's HDMI out. In other words, all ATEM Mini models that Blackmagic currently sells can be configured for multiview out.

[@ShaLaLaLaProductions]

Trying to understand Persistent key. So based on your definition, if the Livestream should crash at any time. You can use the same stream to stream at the same posting location or do you need to create a new post on Facebook to stream live with the streamkey?

[@BallastMedia]

With a persistent key, you create the post once, and each time you start streaming it will go live. So if it crashed, yes, just restart on your end and it will start a new stream for you on FB.

[@ContinuousmotionTV]

Hello Steven. I just found your channel a few weeks back, due to my research to purchase equipment for my church. I like your recommendation for using the Canon Vixia r800 due to price but do you use these units in your church production? If not, what cameras do you use and also what PC do you recommend for streaming live using the ATEM MINI. I have an older MAC I would like to use but feel my usb and thunderbolt ports are outdated. Thank you.

[@BallastMedia]

The cameras we use at our church are $5k, mainly because we use a CCU (camera control unit) to control them remotely (exposure, color, etc) from the control room. The R800 is an entry level camera, if you have great lighting it will look ok. If you have poor lighting it's not going to look great. Unfortunately for live streaming purposes there aren't many cameras that stand out until you get to about $800. Mostly consumer cameras in between that price range are adding features you don't need for live streaming.

[@BallastMedia]

I really like the HP zBook 15s for live streaming. amzn.to/2u03J9N

[@BallastMedia]

Maybe look for a used Canon G20 or something like that. The $1200 camera of a couple years ago will still be fine and can be found for $400-$600 on ebay.

What specifications your computer has for streaming ? Can i use a laptop? Please give me a recommendation. Thank you

[@kipling1957]

The only thing it doesn't do is video conversion. Can it be combined with something like the AJA U-Tap to take the processing load off the computer?

[@BallastMedia]

Even the U-tap is just a video interface, not an encoder. The best way to help your computer with encoding is to install an NVIDIA graphics card that supports NVENC encoding, then all the encoding can happen on your graphics card. developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix

The USB-c is for taking video in to a computer - only the progam output goes out the USB. And it's for controlling the Mini through the Atem Control Software for extra functionality that's not on the physical control surface. The HDMI output can be used used as a program output, or if can be used as a preview output, you configure which you want in the control software.

Thanks for your videos on using the ATEM mini and OBS! They have been very helpful as we are first time streamers. We are having a problem and I hope you can point me in the right direction. The issues is during our broadcast to Facebook live our audio stops. I believe something is happening between the ATEM software and OBS. I know its not our soundboard or the ATEM because we are using the video out on the ATEM to feed a TV in the church lobby. To make the issue worse it does not happen every week, just when it decides to. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@BallastMedia]

Usually audio stopping is a resource issue. But, first I'd check the OBS log (when a drop out occurs) and see if it give any indication of what is happening. In OBS go to Help -> Log Files -> Show Log Files and find the log that was created when you were streaming. OBS creates a log every time it opens until the program is closed.

[@videosocial0170]

perfect explanation

[@gloryhouse1289]

Can you do this off a macbook pro ? without the suggested amazon coumpter link?

[@BallastMedia]

Sure

[@siskoDE]

Short question. I own a Macbook Pro from 2018. I last connected my DSLR via USB and integrated it into OBS using a software solution. A USB mic is also connected to the Macbook Pro. When streaming, the Macbook Pro box has already reached its limits and the CPU load ensures that you can actually no longer use the computer to work in a program and stream a video tutorial, for example. The ATEM Mini Pro with built-in encoder could solve this problem for me. In any case, I understand it that way, when I connect all the hardware mentioned to the ATEM Mini Pro and also connect my Macbook Pro to the ATEM via HDMI, that I can stream directly from the ATEM Mini Pro and the entire CPU performance would no longer come to fruition yes the ATEM is working. How does it all work when I connect all my hardware to the ATEM Mini Pro and connect it to my Macbook Pro via USB-C and then stream from my Macbook Pro via OBS (source is then ATEM video and audio). Is the CPU utilization of my Macbook Pro even smaller than when I use the first scenario without ATEM? Have you been able to gain experience on this?

[@BallastMedia]

If you still stream through the macbook, you're still doing the encoding on the macbook, which is what is very CPU intensive, so while not having to bring in multiple sources may decrease the load slightly, you'll still be way better of using the Mini Pro to stream.

Yes, that should work. It would be a usb-c to usb-c cable. It won't necessarily change the quality, what's sent over the connection remains the same, but you can use that port.

Thank you for your video! Question I am streaming church service from an Behringer x32 to the atem mini pro. My issue is the output sound has a flanger and I have no idea where it's coming from. I have no effects currently going into the AMP. Any thoughts or suggestions on to check to fix this issue? I appreciate any advice you can provide. God bless!

[@BallastMedia]

First thing I'd check is your wiring. How are you cabling from the x32 to the input of the Mini?

[@atldj71]

Thanks for getting back to me. On the x32 output xlr to mic 1 stereo cable. Same as your recommendation on cables.

Hi, do you recommend to use obs for youtube too or on youtube i can direct use atem mini like a webcam?

[@BallastMedia]

I'd recommend still going through OBS. It give you control over what gets sent.

Everything is set up and looks really nice, except it's very dark. I am using ProPresenter 7 to send graphics and using a Canon Vixia camera to record. Is there a way through the ATEM I can brighten my stream?

[@BallastMedia]

Does it look the same way in camera? If you record on the camera is it the same brightness? Usually brightness is a problem you'll want to fix at the camera or by increasing your light output.

[@mounthope1055]

I’m having issues going from pro tools and being able to hear any output. I’m using Dante from GLD80. Help?

[@covenantagkingman1656]

Very much enjoying your tutorials. Any updates on when the other tutorials about running lyrics from computer to Mini? thanks

[@BallastMedia]

The next couple videos should be coming real soon.

Thank you for your time and posting this video and information. I was wondering is there a way to share my IP address and have someone Remotely from a different location control the graphic overlays for example at a different location. I’m currently working on a live stream show and I would like to have someone else adding titles to the through the software and using my IP address while I am switching video inputs? if not is there a way that I can share my IP address locally to someone with my same network and have them do the graphics? I hope my question make sense

[@BallastMedia]

Probably the quickest solution would be to have someone use screen sharing, like TeamViewer, to control the computer you have locally that is running graphics.

I have a Zoom F6, can I connect it to one of the 3.5mm jacks via a line jack? I would like to connect 4 Lav mics to the sound recorder.

[@BallastMedia]

Yes, just be sure to set the audio input of the Mini to Line Level in the Control Software.

[@DevinWilliamsMusic]

Hi brother! I love your videos man they are so helpful! I have a quick question for you. I purchased the Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorder that you recommended and I think its a great camera but I'm having a problem with the audio. No matter what signal I send, the camera seems to be adding some kind of compression to the audio and its driving me crazy! I'm sending a line level mix to the camera and I even have a direct box that can remove up to -50db but the problem is still occurring. Is there a way to turn off the compression on the Canon HF R800? Thank you so much for your help. - Devin

[@BallastMedia]

It sounds like you have auto-volume turned on, rather than manually setting the volume. In the menu go to Main Functions, and then find Mic Level. Switch that from A to M and set a level.

[@DevinWilliamsMusic]

@@BallastMedia Thank you sir for your response! I will give this a try this week. I've been doing a Facebook Live worship service at my house here in Nashville and getting the sound right has been my struggle. Your videos have helped me get the whole thing up and running. Thanks again for all your videos and work! May God continue to bless you :)

just subcribed to you're channel . Great 👍 job

[@sethgivens]

Can you run OBS and the ATEM mini software from the same computer? Are there any issues with running out of processing speed? What might my ideal processor look like for that?

[@BallastMedia]

Yes, you should be able to run them on the same computer fine, the Atem control software isn't very CPU intensive. For encoding video I'd recommend an i7 processor. Or, if you have a graphics card that supports NVENC encoding you can probably get away with an i5 processor.

[@ericluhmann1374]

Steven can't seem to get the connect or camera option to come up on Facebook?

[@BallastMedia]

Yes, they've changed the "Live Video" interface. When you click Live Video you will get the new "Live Producer" page. There is a big button for "Use Stream Key" or "Use Camera" Those are the equivalent options for Connect and Camera.

[@dugsbugs1]

Hi. A question on the Facebook part. I created a Facebook page dedicated to just streaming but for some reason, it doesn't allow me to find a stream key and I have to use my personal page to find one. Is there an activation for my new Facebook page to show the live key on my new page. Doug.

[@Myluckyfabi]

can you stream on facebook and youtube at the same time ? or would you need another software ?

[@BallastMedia]

Usually when you go to multiple socials you need a service to do that. Castr.io or restream.io are two services that will allow you to go to multiple socials at the same time. OBS only goes to one destination. So you would use OBS to send to castr.io (or restream.io) and they distribute it for you.

multiviewer available on Atem Mini switcher?and only HDMI inputs or SDI input

[@BallastMedia]

No Multiview, no SDI.

Great video. Please help I am experiencing some challenges with my monitor. I finished setting up my brand new ATEM MINI PRO ISO on Saturday night for service yesterday. Except yesterday I get to church and while setting up I think I may have changed a setting on the ATEM SOFTWARE CONTROL (1080p24fps) All of a sudden my monitor stops working and I am unable to use the switcher for service today cause I can’t see any of the inputs/preview/programme on the monitor. I have tried all the different video settings but the Monitor is still saying “NO SIGNAL”. But it was working fine last night. I have tried everything (restart ATEM MINI PRO, COMPUTER, RESTORE ATEM MINI PRO ISO through SOFTWARE CENTER by going to FILE -> RESTORE). Please advise what to do! Obviously a bit down I couldn’t use my ATEM MINI PRO ISO for the first time yesterday.
