How to make a DIY Streaming Bridge with a Raspberry Pi for the ATEM Mini and OBS

[@aaronpk]

UPDATE: The latest version of the Raspberry Pi OS removes omxplayer which is a key component of this tutorial! Until I can make an updated video for the latest Raspberry Pi OS, you can still download the previous version here: www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-legacy

I've been looking for a way to stream _to_ a Raspberry Pi for a totally different application. You have just made my day :)

[@Demo1Garage]

As someone who has taught themselves the very small and finite knowledge about broadcasting, this device is bloody awesome. It's the solution to a problem, I didn't know had an answer. Thank you KZbin algorithm and thanks for sharing this mate. I'll be making one myself now.

[@cyberhikerdd]

Using this approach with a PI3 to feed an rtmp stream from a Mevo camera to an 8x HDMI to feed multiple classrooms. Good tutorial thar made it easy to setup.

Now THAT is how to teach / explain things to people. Even a newbie could understand what he was aying. This guy is blessed! THANKS AARON! :)

[@aaronpk]

aw, thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words!

[@NicholasPOGM]

@@aaronpk Just keep doing it Aaron.. we need guys like you that know how to do it and then know how to teach others to do it. :)

[@rubixsdss]

Just as a test I did this with a pi zero w, works and is Wireless, definitely a huge amount of lag but if live interaction isn't something youre doing then it works pretty smoothly in my opinion

Thanks a LOT for this video. You really make it possible for a newbie "to get to this sledge"! :D

[@upperstage5227]

Thanks!

[@upperstage5227]

Thanks Aaron! I know this has been around for awhile now, but finally got to a point where I needed it. Tolerable on a Pi 3b+ even! Using a RTMP Streamer App on the iPhone to make a wireless camera (where a little delay won't matter). Much appreciated!

[@plrpilot]

Seriously one of the most useful videos I've seen in a while. Great job. You've got my subscription.

[@computerjantje]

Hee Aaron, I had no time yet to setup your perfect diy solution but I read multiple audio problems here. Maybe people just ask here before they really search themselves but I do think that an extended followup on this absolute great tutorial of yours is gonna be highly appreciated.

[@IanOblivion]

awesome! anybody know if this would also work forwarding a stream from usb to hdmi? or is it just meant to forward streams via network? thanks in advance

[@jamesharrell9093]

Great Video! It would be great if you do a video on how to limit who can stream to the device with the stream key. Thanks again for doing this video.

[@Mr.Bahsoun]

Thank you Aaron for the detailed video and helpful content. Keep up the good work! Cheers

[@xennojeremy]

Figured out how to push to KZbin and other sites! Just add these types of lines after the "record off;" function and replace with your stream keys: push rtmp://live-vie.twitch.tv/app/my_stream_key; push rtmp://a.rtmp.kzbin.infomy_stream_key; You can also add whatever entries as well, just make sure that the normal .xml settings are the same, sending from the ATEM to the RTMP site. Basically making a $500 - $1000 piece of gear for $50. Pretty amazing, thank you so much for this. I've been helping setup streaming in churches and the stream grab/restream option is the best solution to send the "program" out to the rest of the church. Thank you again

[@enderpiyale]

I love this kind of DIY setup videos.

[@Jurlan]

Wow, you made it really easy to follow. This is awesome, even if you don't have an atem mini. Thank you alot!

Could Raspberry Pi be used as a streaming encoder?

[@thechucktaylor]

@aaronparecki anyway you could do a follow-up and show some of us noobs how to make the pi ip addy public so we can stream to it from a remote location? It would be most helpful!

Awesome video - Wonderfully presented

[@JadielMaster]

Thank you very much. I did it with Pi 3 model b with legacy os and works perfectly ❤! consuming 17% cpu and 70mb memory. VLC could be an alternative to omxplayer.

[@aaronpk]

Glad you got it working! The main reason I went with omxplayer is it has direct access to the graphics chip and you can use it without installing a desktop environment. All the other solutions like using VLC require that you boot into a GUI first, which causes other stability issues

[@michael.minkov]

Brilliant! Thank you, Aaron. How very informative and nicely presented! Well done! Very valuable tutorial.

[@clauspfisterer8917]

Hi Aaron, very cool. Omxplayer is not supported anymore on raspberry pi 'bullseye'. I tried installing older images, but that was a mess. Then I tried replace the omxplayer witch vlc, but can't figure out what the exact command should be. Do you have any idea, how to solve this?

[@ranvierion]

Thank you, Aaron. You have reignited the fire within me to r&d in the raspberry pi world. Hehehe.

[@AerialVideosPhotos]

Nicely done and your explanation was very clear, thank you for taking the time to do this video. Liked and Sub

[@LuisMigGarcia]

This is awesome content. Now you only need a web interface to change some settings, like Key and not much. You could also use the second HDMI port with a little change to the omxplayer command, using parameter --display.

[@ClydeGravenberch]

Hi, what command would that be? Could you please tell me?

[@LuisMigGarcia]

@@ClydeGravenberch hi, like I said in my comment, using the same command, you must indicate a parameter with the display number (it seems to be 7 for the secondary display). > omxplayer -p -o hdmi -display=7

I’ll definitely give you a thumbs up. I’ve been doing this with an upstream rtmp server and receiving via VLC but keep getting drop outs. Gonna give this a try while i wait for a BM streambridge.

[@wilhelm_jonsson]

This is awesome, with DJI drones you can stream to RTMP, theoretically you could bring in a drone feed via HDMI to the ATEM using this. Has anyone tried?

[@mevocorp]

[@WesAllen]

I set up an older rapi as an rtmp setup for a mevo, but would have never considered trying to output to the hdmi... thanks! My test is way underpowered, but it was a fun exercise.

[@computerjantje]

Absolute Great explanation video. It actually makes it all simple. Thank you very much

[@undergroundnews_dk]

This is great I have improved this DIY with web vlc and srt input and hdmi output to a cheap rgblink mini+ also a restreamer option so the only thing missing is maybe something to make graphics overlays but my setup works with usefull srt input and I can add output from android/iphone with lariks screencaster etc. so this is a possible way to make something the raspberry can get via srt. Buy the way new Bullseye Raspian OS does not have omxplayer but clvc or ffplay can be used - also the cvlc have recorder option anyway this works fine with my wifi srt rpi4 with a camlink that transmit srt stream home to the mixer and diy Bridge - srt input done via portforward so its secure. Maybe I will add OBS Ninja input also. Is it possible to replace rmtp and use udp for lowere latency in output from your atem mini ?

[@thechucktaylor]

@aaronparecki Thanks so much for this tutorial. I built this with a raspberry pi 3 I had lying around. Worked perfectly. There's about a 3 second delay. (I actually had to test it with my mevo as the AMP I use belongs to my church and I can't get to it till Sunday)

[@aaronpk]

I'm glad it works on the Pi 3 as well!

[@nicolamennino7601]

Thanks for the video ! It was really interesting !

[@EddieDemon]

Hi there. KZbin recommended you and for a good reason. That being said; RTMP is slow at minimal 5 second delay. Why doesn’t the system support NDI or WebRTC? Those technologies are way faster than RTMP and even RTSP/RTP.

[@aaronpk]

If by "the system" you mean the ATEM Mini Pro, it's because RTMP is what KZbin and most other streaming platforms ingest. The Streaming Bridge is a product that takes advantage of the fact that there is already an RTMP encoder in the ATEM. The delay when streaming to KZbin is only about 3 seconds so I'm not sure where you're getting the minimum 5 second delay. If you wanted to make a dedicated device for point to point streaming you could definitely get better speeds using other protocols, but it means a dedicated (probably expensive) device on both ends whereas this setup is more flexible and affordable.

[@EddieDemon]

@@aaronpk sorry for the late reply, didn’t notice yours. So if I understand correctly you ingress RTMP to the ATEM and then egress it to (eg) KZbin. Correct? In that case you get twice the delay, agreed? Personally I prefer < 1 second delays, at least on the physical LAN side. Which in my experience RTMP cannot comply to. That’s where my question originated from. When streaming I prefer near-real-time so I can properly interact with my viewers. Yes, I do understand that even TV live broadcasting has a delay.

Works great Aaron thanks. I was able to connect my DJI pocket 2 with do it all handle to the bridge via iOS memo app rtmp and was seeing a 2-3 second delay.

I was able to set up something like this using nvidia's jetson nano and using gstreamer to stream from a CSI camera using H.265 at near realtime (sub 100ms delay) so it's possible for sure.

[@corduroy73]

Nice video Aaron. I am currently designing a remote streaming case and debating if I should go with the mini extreme ($1300) or mini pro w/ streaming bridge & hdmi audio extractor ($750). I really wish there was a pro with 2 hdmi out & audio out! I had plans to use a Rpi in my case to be able have access to the ATEM via ethernet and do some other things where I need a computer in a remote environment. If I use the Rpi as the streaming bridge do you think it needs to be 100% dedicated as a streaming bridge?

[@antoinebillet8719]

Hey Aaron thx for your incredible tutorials. I was wondering how to use an iPad as a display of the program of an ATEM mini extreme or pro trough a local network (my extreme being linked to a router). Thx !!

[@computerjantje]

I followed your instructions exactly and got it working without any trouble on a rasberry 3. However I have to set the atem to streaming low. On Hyperdeck high it does not work. I wonder if that would be a limit of it being a raspberry 3 ? Maybe it just cannot handle the huge amount of info coming in wide and fast. Does the stream work to a raspberry 4 in hyperdeck high (The highest setting)? I ask because with a mini pro I would like to record(using ssd drive on te usb port) in the highest possible quality while sending 'program' over streaming to the next rooms in the building while keeping my multiview over hdmi. I do funurals very occasionally in which only a small group is allowed at the ceremony (corona rules) and the rest stands outside or in others rooms and watch big screens. It is too occasionally to buy the offical stream bridge yet.

[@cubamysoul5201]

[@mattyeagle4503]

Aaron, question for you, have a new install for the Pi 4B and the new distribution of the OS does not support omxplayer. Have you played with anything that can replace the omxplayer. Was looking at VLC, but not sure how to output the stream to the HDMI like you do with omxplayer. Also wondering if you can output to hdmi1 as this PI has two HDMI ports. Thanks for your input. I have Nginx up and running and can stream RTMP to it with my new DJI Action 2 cam, or at least I think I am, the DJI app is not complaining about the RTMP stream to the pi, just can't see the stream anywhere yet. Your thoughts on this are much appreciated, Thanks

[@marcthiele]

That sounds cool. Will definitely look into this. Why do you think, it won't be good enough for real time conversations to be used in a stream? Do you think the delay will be to much of a problem? Like if I have two people "calling" me and I add them to my conversation via the ATEM Mini Pro and stream from there?

[@samsousayt]

The PI3 is likely able to do that, it's not that heavy to decode and playout on HDMI especially if you add the MPEG-4 Licence for the Hardware decoding (Actually maybe PI2) is sufficient for this. The limitation would likely come more from the reduced Ethernet IO capabilities of the PI2/3 could be the most likely bottleneck.

[@aaronpk]

I did try this on the Pi3 as well, and it worked, but the delay was a lot worse.

[@henrypurba1]

This is quite complicated for me but I need to ask a question: We are not programmers but not afraid of learning. Can we use this system to create an RTMP stream for other people on the internet? We are preparing to offer video conference service and need to push our feed to other members of the group by giving an RTMP weblink.

[@aaronpk]

You definitely can! If you made it through this tutorial, there's only a little more work to make the stream viewable at a web page. However I'd probably recommend a different path which is to use OwnCast since it's a more out of the box solution for doing exactly that. It's open source and they provide pretty good instructions for getting it running. It'll be better to run it on a cloud server somewhere rather than on a raspberry pi as well.

[@megamattzero7348]

Can you make a Raspberry PI device that can capture a RTMP broadcast from a DJI Osmo or DJI Pocket 2 or Drone to send into Blackmagic Atem hdmi? I have PI setup to run companion for stream deck and I love to also be able to load a program on the same PI.

[@4e1bhp]

Thank you so much. May I ask what the latency is like?

It's about 2-5 seconds, but there's probably some room to trim it down a bit with some tuning still. I wouldn't expect anything close to realtime though.

[@martinjehnichen]

great tutorial - worked right out of the box! thank you. In my case latency is about 4000ms - is this normal and is there a way to reduce this?

[@aaronpk]

Sounds like about what I was seeing. Someone suggested adding "--live" to the omxplayer command, so give that a shot. If you dig into the RTMP module docs you'll find some info on changing the buffer sizes, and you can also change the keyframe size in the ATEM which may help too. Lots of experiments to do, but I doubt you'd be able to get it below half a second at the very best.

[@criminalshooting]

@@aaronpk Half a second would awesome! I wonder if anyone tried the "real" ATEM Streaming Bridge to see what latency you get with it. I'm trying to hook up my ATEM Mini Pro to my LiveU LU200 to do multicamera and live interaction, if I get to half a second it is feasible as I can go down to 1.0 secs on the LU200 Feel free to get in touch if you want to do tests with my LiveU

As you say it's pretty good for stuff across continents though Do you connect your ATEM Mini to the Streaming Bridge directly via Ethernet?

[@Megavplt]

Cool ! Can this example be completely repeated jn OrangePI One+ ?

I'm not familiar with the OrangePI, but this relies on the existence of the omxplayer software. If that platform includes it then it should work, but it was removed from the most recent Raspberry Pi OS so I'm not sure.

Did you try this with SRT Streaming as well? The delay might be lower...

[@michaelpraetorius]

Could you stream to KZbin via a router and pull the stream from another jack on the router simultaneously?

[@time4021]

@Aaron Parecki If you add "--live" (thats a double "-") to the end of your omxplayer line in nginx config file, ie "exec omxplayer -o hdmi rtmp://127.0.0.1/live/$name --live" it should cut some of the latency down.

[@aaronpk]

Nice, didn't even notice that one in the docs!

@@aaronpk It will work fine on a local network, but it may not cope well with buffering when streaming over the internet with the "--live" option. The Rpi4's are a great piece of kit. I've used the "--live" option a lot on local network video over IP distribution with no issues at all. (have had 17, 720p30 streams pulled concurrently from one Rpi4 running 8hrs a day with no issues at all.)

[@time4021]

@@aaronpk I don't know if this will work from within the nginx config, but I know that it can work from command line. Basically we had run into issues that omxplayer would quit if the stream got interrupted (even briefly) and it was a pain to have to manually restart it in multiple locations. So we used a single line looping command that would automatically restart omxplayer (until you "killed" it, LOL!!) the command is copied below with your parameters from the video. Might be worth a try if you find that Nginx doesn't restart omxplayer if the stream is briefly interupted.
