How I setup my ATEM MINI PRO for Broadcast & Livestream - The Complete Tour

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi guys! After 2 months I review the Atem Mini Pro ISO and how it stacks up against the Pro version. Should you upgrade? Watch it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4vVnmqjmbOff9E

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi everyone! A lot of comments seem to mention there is some lag/stutter/shuddering etc during certain time frames of the video. However I have looked back at the raw file recorded directly from the console closely and found there is no lag/frame drop etc, everything is very clean. It could be during editing and rendering of this final video that caused the stuttering. Hope that clears up any doubts regarding the raw file recorded direct from the console. Thanks for watching again, appreciate the comments! Steph

Steph, that skit was funny. I watched a couple of ur ATEM Mini Pro videos already. Very informative. I don't know if U did a video dedicated only to hook up of wires yet...but I love to see a video like that. All of the videos I've seen, people just zip pass that section of the hook up. I'm personally having a problem with hooking my HDMI to my Samsung smart tv. Always, keep the videos coming...awesome stuff!

in the audio settings of the atem software, you can setup the delay :)

[@shawnebrown]

Yes, that is a new feature added after this video was made...

[@buelnanews]

Steph, can ATEM mini pro use NDI features from software streaming programs like vMax? NDI allows multi source video feeds (think; user switchable Zoom) to be fed as independent cameras into a compatible device. I need to have remote video streaming guests, but must be able to control who is on-air and have the ability to see two guests at a time with bugs and lower thirds. I want a physical switcher, not just the iMax gui. thanks

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi! I'm sorry your message went into the Spam section, not sure why! I just found it. Are you talking about VMix and OBS? Yes you can integrate the Atem Mini Pro with these NDI features for a more comprehensive and robust experience for livestream and broadcast.

[@michaelharris9183]

Hi: I'm having a weird problem with the ATEM Mini Pro that even Black Magic (BMD) support could not figure out. My church is just getting started with live-streaming. I'm using the ATEM Mini Pro with a Canon XA11 and Canon Vixia HF R800 cameras. There is only one camera setting (1080P/24mbps) that will give me a clean, sharp image on both the livestream and USB-C hard drive recording. If I try any other camera setting, the output will be a blurry, somewhat choppy/wavy output on both recordings and livestream. The issue with using the 1080P/24 camera setting is that the multi-view monitor goes blank and has a message about "signal out of range". I have tried multiple HDMI monitors and they all show that same issue. It would be very hard to livestream without the multi-view monitor working. The ATEM Mini Pro video setting is also set to 1080P/24. If I try to change that to most any of it's other settings then I get the blurry livestream image or the multi-view monitor goes blank again. BMD's suggestion was that maybe I have a defective unit, which is only a few months old. What camera/ATEM Mini Pro settings are you successfully using for the "video quality"? Thanks, Mike

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Mike after reading your message a couple of times I might have to second BMD on this. It is indeed showing abnormalities that I don't experience with my current setup. I use the GH5 (I do 24p/30p/60p) and with different resolutions ive nvr experience what u experienced. Are your cameras new? Does it happen for both cameras?

hi sir - if i will not go live streaming but just recording, do i need to connect the control ethernet to internet?

[@aminoacid8814]

Yo dude, amazing content! In-depth and very easy to my brain cells! But I've got a question. Course your setup is by connecting your wireless mic into your main camera 1. So your audio comes directly from your camera then through Atem Mini Pro. What about your Camera 2 audio? Assuming you have a wide angle shot of you and your guests for your Camera 2, Will the audio be capture via Live stream at the same time if you connect a wireless mic into your camera 2? Is it possible to have two audio source that are connected to two different camera mic input and activate them using the Atem Mini Pro? And please share more videos about new gadget and keep it the way it is! Thanks for this amazing videos once again!

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Amino Acid thanks for your kind comments! The audio is taken from the hotel/DJ's mixer. Cam 2 has no audio. And yes you can use the AFV Audio Follows Video function on the Atem Mini Pro to trigger which audio you wish to get from the respective camera. Hope this helps!

[@aminoacid8814]

@@StephLeeTech - Thanks for your reply Steph! So far no one go so in-depth, so please dont' stop! Alright, but is possible to have both cam 1 and cam 2 AFV mode on? Or only can be cam 1 AFV on and cam 2 just activate the 'On' button below AFV button? Basically, wanna know if it's possible to have few speaker talking at one go while output to one speaker?

[@QippysChannel]

Thanks for this review, btw I wanted to just ask I have noticed that some of your video looked like it had some jerkiness throughout parts of this review (i.e. at 6 minutes 5 seconds you can see this) , was this by anyway chance caused by the the camera settings, Atem Mini pro or the recording to ssd ? Just wanted to know as I am preparing myself for a review unit myself so I want to familiarise myself first with what to expect from it, Thanks

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Qippy! Thank you for your comments and for watching our videos! Yes I did mention that a few times when a few other people saw the stutter and lag, I wrote this comment and pinned it a few days back "Hi everyone! A lot of comments seem to mention there is some lag/stutter/shuddering etc during certain time frames of the video. However I have looked back at the raw file recorded directly from the console closely and found there is no lag/frame drop etc, everything is very clean.

[@QippysChannel]

Steph Lee Films thanks bro for taking the time to answer me really appreciate it 👍😊

[@JaiHoParty]

Thanks so much for the super informative video! I’m getting excessive delay (compared to U-TAP) with atem mini pro. Someone mentioned i should match my camera output to that of Atem Mini Pro so the scalers won’t be at work & that will reduce delay. Scalers apparently help convert the resolution for atem mini, as I’m sure you know... Do you know what camera output would be ideal to avoid scalers?

[@StephLeeTech]

It would be good to try 720p first

[@herbert.w]

in this video, when steph switches to the main camera, there's some lag/drop of frame... am i the only one seeing this? (eg. 1:52, 7:22...) but thanks for the demo! it's great!

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Herbert thanks for watching our video and thank you for your feedback! Similar to other comments, there seems to have some lag/stutter/shuddering etc during certain time frames of the video.

[@TallBoyGareth1]

Why is your main camera such a low frame rate?

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Gareth I usually shoot at 60fps... That considered low? 😆

[@ClimateRealism]

If I take a feed from say an iPad bringing in a remote guest on Skype or similar on channel 2 and I want to have both my voice on channel 1 as well as the person's Skype audio on channel 2 - how can I have both audio feeds at once? I would need both vpoicveds to conduct an interview.

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Paul in my opinion this is not a very ideal situation. My question to you is How would you want your output video to look like if you want to do it an interview style? Will you be carrying the iPad and talking to it while the main camera (Cam 1) is facing you? But to answer your question regarding having 2 voice channels I would use the MIC1 port (your own sound) and MIC2 port (from the iPad).

[@ClimateRealism]

@@StephLeeTech I would want to show myself and the person i was interviewing on the screen at once. Your suggestion would split the sound and video from the iPad and maybe cause sync problems? There seems to be no way of mixing the sound of the two channels.

[@ClimateRealism]

@@StephLeeTech so when you do a split screen with two screens do you get both channels sound coming from say input 1 and 2?

[@StephLeeTech]

@@ClimateRealism Hi Paul as far as I know the Atem Mini Pro is not able to do split screens and if you plan to split the audio and video yes there may be sync problems.

[@ClimateRealism]

@@StephLeeTech But it can do picture in picture and in that event does the sound come from both?

[@mthobisix]

I'm planning on purchasing the ATEM Mini Pro, I just need to know if I can use any DSLR with an HDMI out and is it able to receive clean audio from a mixer and sync it with video without any delay between audio and video and final question if I'm not using a Black Magic camera, can I still be able to have remote control over a camera (Canon DSLR) using the ATEM control software to adjust things like sound, focus and changing between camera A,B and C?

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Mthobisi! 1. DSLR with HDMI - yes 2. Delay - Maybe but you can fix it with the Audio Delay button available in the latest Software 3. No - only BMPCCs can allow you to do that. Good luck and enjoy if you decide to purchase!

Hi Rojas yes I have mentioned that a couple of times in the video as well

[@JuusoHoo]

marvellous humour you have :D thanks! I learned from you that the IMPro has to have the internet via Ethernet port, that is the only way to go to the net.... or is it? So the usb-port is not for my laptop to route the AMPro cameras out to the net? May be I have to read the user guide once more.... :D AH THE STREAMING GOES EITHER USB OR ETHERNET! FROM THE USER GUIDE"..TIP When recording to disk using ATEM Mini Pro, the USB connector will be busy recording to a disk so it won’t be free to use as a webcam output. However the ATEM Mini Pro model also has live streaming direct via its Ethernet connection. If you want to use the USB connection to record to a disk you can use the Ethernet connection for streaming. You can even use the Ethernet for external control using ATEM Software Control. Please refer to the ‘additional features on ATEM Mini Pro’ section for more information...." BUT! I still do not get my Nikon 3300 via HDMI cable to work with this Atem... no video, no audio...incredible...

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Juuso! Thanks for dropping by my channel! I'm glad I gave you some good entertainment :) Yes both the USB-C port and ethernet cable can connect your console to the NET but I always use the USB-C for recording hence I recommend using the ethernet port. Thanks for sharing! I'm sorry I have very little experience with Nikon cameras, have you tried using the Nikon DSLR to connect to your laptop or to another monitor via HDMI and does it work?

[@JDAfrica]

There seems to be some shuddering in the movement of the video. Is this because of the frame rate you filmed at (ie: 60p)? Or has it got something to do with the hardware conversion. At 9:13 part, when you moved your arm, movement looks shuddered

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi JD thanks for watching our videos! The 9:13 seems pretty normal to me but on the contrary when I rewatched the video, the first 10s seems to have some stuttering if I looked closely, the part where I introduced myself "Hi everyone ..." I dug up the raw file which was recorded by the ATEM Mini Pro and I watched the whole clip again: it was perfectly smooth. I guessed it is very likely during editing on the FCPX something came up. But again, to answer your questions I can safely and confidently say the raw recorded file from the ATEM Mini Pro was perfectly fine. I'll probably do another test again sometime soon to confirm that! Thanks again for taking time to write back.

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Captain Jose! :) Thanks for dropping by my channel and watching my videos. I'm super happy to help out with any questions you have so PLEASE don't find it a chore to ask. 1. The older macbooks still have the ethernet ports, I think they phased it out in 2014? or somewhere around that time, that is why I had to use the adaptor. You can try attaching a LAN cable directly from your Macbook to the Atem Mini Pro Ethernet Port, I think it will work. You don't need a router because the magic of the Atem Mini Pro allows you to use the internet connection from your Macbook (which is connected by Wifi) and sharing the internet with it. (read: support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/mac-help/mchlp1540/mac_) The only reason why it may not work could be that Apple has phased out certain updates to older Macbook models but I think it's worth a try... hey! You can even save on purchasing the adaptor! [I bought it for about $50 :( ] 2. I have not really used the Mic Ports on the console for my recordings as I usually use the AFV (Audio Follows Video) option but I have heard about the audio delays. Let me know if you experience it. 3. I'm working on the Lower 3rds Downstream Key for animated overlays and it should be out sometime this week. Do keep a lookout for that video coming up soon!

@@StephLeeTech There are sections of the video that get choppy - I think just from the front on camera. I wonder if this is the camera overheating, or having trouble pushing through the data to the ATEM, or something else..

[@StephLeeTech]

@@nikharrison Hi Nik! Do you mean on our KZbin video or the one that you recorded from your own ATEM Mini Pro? I have another comment mentioning about the choppy playback. I suspect it has gotta do with the recording speed of the hard disk connected to the console. Black Magic Design said you could plug in a thumbdrive to do the recording but in my experience thumbdrives can't keep up with the fast recording and the thumbdrives get overheated pretty quickly.

Damn it!!!! That video was so good now I gotta get the Atem 💸 . It would really step up my productions. I’m sure you already covered this in a different video but I gotta ask. Can you live stream with this model and record to your USB c hard drive and can this setup be used on IG Live?

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi 404 thank you for your kind comments! Yes you can record to USB-C to an SSD hard drive and I don't think it is workable with IG Live. There may be some apps that allow you to do that I'm not too sure.

If we could Write our own macros and assign to unused buttons - that would be amazing!! Come on BlackMagic, make it happen! Then I could save a variety of PIP and split screen presets, to my custom look and use at a press of a key.

[@StephLeeTech]

You know what, if you compare the Atem Mini and Mini Pro the console is EXACTLY the same, just with missing buttons (which was later on added on the Mini Pro). Well from what I see, there are still empty spaces on the Mini Pro console (above the big buttons 3 and 4. My suspicion is they will introduce another version in the future (maybe the Pro 2?) and add something there. Just a hunch, we'll see!

Hey Steph I want to know about sound here is my question, for example I am using 4 cameras and I just want to use sound from camera1 to all 4 cameras when I am switching angles how should I set it up ? I will appreciate to see your answer so far you're doing a great job.

[@StephLeeTech]

@@fistonwabu2913 Hi Fiston thank you for your kind comments and feedback and time for watching my videos. If you are using 4 cameras and want to use sound ONLY from Camera 1, push the AFV button above Input 1 (on the console). I talked more about this somewhere from the 2:00 onwards you can take a look from there

[@astridhelgesen2652]

Thanks a lot for the most informative video I have found so far. I'm wondering about the PC specs for live streaming - apart from having Windows 10, are there any other requirements? Does it need a powerful cpu or lots of ram to work well for livestreaming? Or can a 6 year old pc with win10 work just as well?

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Astrid thanks for the kind comments and I appreciate your time to watch my videos! Ok IMO and real life experience, I would say that MOST pcs should be able to handle the requirements of livestreaming if you take note of certain points 1. internet connection 2. upload speed 3. dont open any other apps/programs when you do a livestream, best is to restart the pc to free up the RAM before the event 4. don't stream at very high quality, a decent 720p should be good enough With the above tips (in general) I think you should be good to go. The macbook pro that I'm using right now is 2014 (oh, that's 6 yrs too!) and it's doing perfectly well. Hope the information helps!

WAIT WAIT !!! everybody is so enthousiastic about the atem mini pro but as of tonight I have serious doubts about the maximum streaming quality output of the atem. In highest quality setting, I have seen the image is still way fuzzier then the same images recorded and then uploaded to youtube. What is going on here? Did you test or compare thiss. Your images look razor shaprt but you did not live stream this video right? You recorded it end then uploaded it to youtube.

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi, this was taken off the USB-C port recording. Livestreams are hardly this razor sharp, unless you are streaming at 4K. And that is provided your upload speeds can handle 4K streams :)

Interesting but not for me. I was using this unit last week and... is so bad! Only 1 HDMI out? Only 1 USB? Minijack? and XLR? only HDMI? and SDI? and why is so complicate to use an RTMP? You have to edit a xml file to add a RTMP. Is nice but not for me :P (by the way, I love your videos).

Thank you Daniel for watching and your kind comments! Yes the ATEM mini Pro may not be perfect but it fulfils many needs of many livestreamers. I'm sure BMD is working on the existing problems. Hang in there!

Hello, Such a nice video. 1. What will be the video quality when recording through C-port.. Frame Size - Frame Rate - (Streaming High & Hyperdeck High) Codec - Approx size of Recorded Files per hour - 2. C- port always have program output only ? 3. Can we use the microphone output as a line input from audio console? (Incase of no embedded audio from camera) 4. what will happen if incase suddenly power goes off during the work time. Can we get the video files recorded in the Hard drive?? (All files or Last saved file or till the few previous seconds of power cut). 5. When Streaming, incase of slow network speed what will happen to the live either jump cuts or adjusted with video quality?? and also will it affect the recording in the C-port?? Thanks.

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Mahendran! Great to see you on our channel! Appreciate your time. 1. The video recording is in 1080p, 60fps, in a flat profile. For my recording of about 20mins, the file size was about 2.5GB 2. Yes the USB-C recording port only records the Program output 3. This is a microphone input, not output. So if you have a external audio console you can connect to this Microphone port. 4. All files will be saved until the point of power off 5. Livestreaming most important is upload speed, so from your end you need to make sure you have fast upload speed from your Internet provider to prevent laggy video. Video quality is adjusted from the console, so if your internet speed is slow, try to choose a lower resolution for live streaming. This may result in a lower video quality but at least there will be no lag/jump cuts from your viewers No it will not affect recording in the USB-C port, it will still be recorded in the H.264 compression at 1080p 60fps I hope I have answered your questions, if you have any more I'll be happy to help.

[@MrMahefx]

@@StephLeeTech wow.. Thanks a lot...

[@StephLeeTech]

@@MrMahefx Hi Mahendran! Just a quick follow up on your Qn 1. In case I did not explain myself clearly, all ATEM Mini models automatically set the program output to match the format and frame rate of the number 1 video input signal it detects. All you need to do is connect your camera to input 1 and the ATEM Mini will follow its video standard. Any other inputs will then be converted to the ATEM Mini’s video standard, which is automatically set to the video standard of the camera plugged into input 1. Of course you can always select a specific video standard manually in the ATEM Mini settings if you choose. Therefore my answer was 1080p 60fps because that was my Camera 1 settings. Hope I cleared that up!

What cameras are you using for your livestreams? Do I need to buy specialised cameras for them or can I just use my mirrorless cameras that I currently already have? Thanks a bunch for this video. Hopefully more to come. Subscribed!

[@StephLeeTech]

Hi Zach thank you for watching our video and subscribing! Currently we use the Panasonic GH5 for our livestreaming and film-making. You don't have to buy specalised cameras as cameras nowadays should have the basic functionalities to do livestreaming. Just a couple of tips based on our experience: 1. Make sure you have an option to set clean HDMI output. That means that you have an option to disable the display icons (e.g shutter speed, ISO, battery remaining etc) from being displayed on your output. 2. Camera does not switch off/stop recording after 30mins of recording (some cameras have a limit). 3. We used the Canon 5D Mark 4 for our Camera 2 in the video and the 5D Mark 4 has a mini HDMI in, meaning you need a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable. The one provided by the Canon isn't long enough so we had to use an extension. The GH5 has a full sized HDMI input so we could use our existing very long (up to 50m) cable, as well as our wireless HDMI setup.

[@charsiewpao4152]

@@StephLeeTech Thanks for your reply! I think my Sony A7iii can do clean HDMI output and it can run continuously without stopping. My last question would be on the audio sync issue as you have mentioned. I ordered the ATEM mini pro and it's arriving tmrw. I'm quite concerned about the audio sync issue especially when it comes to livestreaming an interview with a few microphone inputs. Do you have an audio mixer in mind that could help delay the audio to match the video source? I know OBS has the feature to delay audio, but I would prefer to use the Blackmagic livestream interface as much as possible. Thanks for answering my questions, you are very helpful!

[@StephLeeTech]

@@charsiewpao4152 Hi Zach I would suggest you use the audio feed directly from the camera which is recording the video to be sure of the video/audio sync if you are doing a livestream via the AFV button. Yes OBS and Vmix has a Delay function to delay audio but for livestream usually we take in audio directly from that particular camera itself, it is better to be on the safe side esp. for live events. And yes I think the Sony A7iii is great for livestreaming!
