Wow thank you, that’s VERY much appreciated!

[@libertywhite5549]

By far the best explanation of when, how, and why you would want to connect your ATEM Mini Pro via USB-C or Ethernet. Especially, when it comes to using your Atem as a webcam. This video helped to connect the dots for someone like me who has been trying to figure out how to use the ATEM Mini Pro as a webcam while simultaneously wanting to record to a hard drive. The short answer is that you can't. Thank you, Joseph.

great clear and understandable info. Will you be doing a video on stream deck and companion? I could never get companion to work but did get my stream deck to control my atem extreme iso for switching which was all I really needed.

Thank you! I’ve talked about it in several videos but never done a setup one. I guess I should!

[@JakeGuptill]

Educational comment from IT: “Hub” is a common name for network devices, but actual hubs are older tech and you probably won’t be able to buy one. Switches are the new standard! Buy a switch! Also, if you simply plug into switch with no router or DHCP server behind it, your ATEM won’t be able to automatically obtain an IP address, so if you use a switch, be sure to connect your switch to your router. Additionally, your computer and ATEM must be on the same network, so if you plug in a separate WiFi router (not your internet modem/gateway/router) to your switch for WiFi access from a computer, chances are that additional “router” will hand out it own set of IP’s and be on a separate network. This is resolved by using an “Access Point” as an secondary WiFi device instead of a WiFi “router.” You ‘could’ use a secondary WiFi router as a pseudo access point by connecting your switch to a LAN port instead of the WAN port and disabling DHCP on the secondary WiFi router. But if you’re buying a device as a secondary WiFi device that you intend to use with your existing router, get an access point instead!

[@photojoseph]

Thanks for the knowledge bomb, Jake! You rock.

[@dmitriifilatov9435]

Some more educational comment for Jake: if you plug in your ATEM into switch w/o any DHCP, you still be able to access the device, because it WILL obtain an IP address called Link-local address from address block 169.254.0.0/16

[@erichnk]

Your reply is appreciated. To correct typos: I connected the Netgear 5 port SWITCHER's ethernet ports to the Mini Pro ISO, MacBook and internet, for software control, to free the USB port for recording and later re-mixing (the point of the ISO). This worked, but when I connected in another room, my stream no longer got through to "my" KZbin live site as an internet stream. Can stream via USB connection to Mac, as a webcam but thus lose it for recording. Resetting and new keys didn't help. We got the mini to produce a better, multi cam live-mix streams through the internet systems of concert venues but have had to continue using a fixed lens plastic gadget which does stream reliably through the U's Twitch. I'm trying to understand "subnet masks" and such, but generally baffled by the KZbin interface. Should I be copying more than just the key? Or try twitter or Vimeo?

[@bouldersoundguy]

I have the Mini (non-Pro, non-Iso, non-Extreme), and I had to look at the address range of my router and manually change the address of the switcher to fall into that range. I believe that's due to it having a static rather than dynamic IP address.

[@mcblackwell3763]

I am so new at this that I am a bud that has yet to turn green, TBS, It never occurred to me to connect via USB, I automatically connected via Ethernet, My problems arose when I purchased a streamdeck XL and attempted to use companion. I can't get the companion and streamdeck softwares to play nice together for love nor money, Yes I did download the companion software into streamdeck, Companion will find my iMac as localhost, wired or Wifi but there is no way to input the ip address directly for the Atem Switch. (I think I confused myself trying to explain that ). I'll try connecting via USB to see if it works that way now.

What is it connected to? Did it ever work? Try the simplest connection possible; plug it into a monitor and see if that works.

[@camre.one_]

good

[@jacksummers1736]

Knowing what I know about networking and the Atem working with Companion , and Stream Deck it is also a good idea to assign the Atem a static IP address to keep it out of the DHCP pool.

[@photojoseph]

The only advantage of that would be that the address can’t change - which is a real advantage but also on a small network it really shouldn’t change. But you’re not wrong.

[@gdro]

An elegant solution would be to make a DHCP reservation for atem’s mac address, this way you keep the flexibility.

How do you use the cell phone internet (via USB-C) AND do recording???? I can add my cell via USB-C to Ethernet via converter, but then ho do I manage it on PC. PS. A quick test did not allow a switch between my cell's converter & Mini Pro... no internet, suddenly. Will still test more... Can I use a USB splitter to do multiple USB features at once???

[@photojoseph]

You need an Extreme with dual USB ports to do both. You can’t use a hub for that; different protocols.

[@buildingsheriff]

Hey Joseph. Thanks for the great videos! I've just subscribed. Quick question. Is there a way to see an Item that is at a remote location? We have an Atem on a network at our local church and I'd like to be able to access that from home. Is this possible? Kind regards.

[@photojoseph]

Absolutely! Set up a VPN at your church. Once you connect to the VPN from wherever you are, you can access the ATEM as if you were there. Or, run the ATEM Software on a computer at your church, and use a screen sharing system to view it. I personally use a system called “Jump” as it’s proven the most reliable. You can see it in use in my “5x BGH1” video.

[@buildingsheriff]

@@photojoseph Thanks!

[@stormingenigmatv]

I just subscribed and will watch your video again. Should the ATEM and computer and router be necessarily connected to the internet to work remotely?

[@photojoseph]

what do you mean by "remotely"? If you mean outside the network, then they have to be on the same network that has internet access and you'll need to set up a VPN. They are not natively available over the internet, but if you VPN into your location then you can control them as if you're sitting on that network.

[@stormingenigmatv]

[@CareyScape]

Hi Joseph, Great channel, its really been helping me out alot with my camera network but am having a few issues pulling up my network cameras in OBS without an Atem Mini switcher. Also am considering getting an Atem Mini Pro, I see you connected yours in this video without connecting any HDMI cables, will that setup allow me to operate my cameras on the network? Hoping you can help me.

[@photojoseph]

I’m not sure what you’re referring to. There’s no cameras connected without HDMI here. Can you timestamp me what you’re looking at? This video is about controlling the ATEM over a network, but the cameras require an HDMI connection to the ATEM. The ATEM has no “network camera” (such as NDI) support.

[@CareyScape]

@@photojoseph OK let me see if I understand you here. Are you basically saying if my atem is connected to an existing IP network with my cameras (also IP) I would have to also run hdmi wires from the cameras to the atem? Another concern, Is there a way to use NDI toolkits and obs plugin for NDI in obs with IP cameras or is it only limited to cameras equipped with NDI features? If am still not clear, are you available for paid consultations?

[@photojoseph]

The ATEM is not an IP camera switcher. So, to answer your first paragraph, yes that's correct. You could also get NDI to HDMI converters to receive NDI at the ATEM. Second question; I'm not super familiar with NDI and IP cameras, but I'm pretty sure OBS can read NDI cameras. My understanding of IP cameras is that they are streaming to a network destination (i.e. youtube), whereas an NDI camera is broadcasting for a local network to be picked up by hardware or software. And yes, you can book time at www.photojoseph.com/1to1 although again I'm not an NDI/IP expert.

How would I connect an ATEM Mini Pro ISO, Wacom Continue, External Monitor and a Henge Deck Docking hub to a 2021 MacBook Pro at the same time? I only have 3 USB C ports on the MacBook and the ATEM nor the Wacom Cintique 16 pro seem to work through a hub. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear...

[@cbchartwellvideo]

We have ATEM MINI Pro Extreme ISO. It is connected to a computer via the Ethernet connection. The computer runs the ATEM software. The computer is connected to an ORBI router and then connected to a high speed internet connection. I have not been able to get the computer to share its Internet connection with the ATEM Mini for streaming to Vimeo, YT or FB. What am I missing?

[@maxwilson7001]

I am having this same problem. The computer isn’t sharing it’s connection yet the ATEM has an IP address

[@photojoseph]

@maxwilson7001 that’s not how it works; the computer doesn’t share the connection (unless you’re trying to bridge the computer’s WiFi to the ATEM?); the ATEM should have a unique IP address that is similar to the computer’s address (or 192.168.1.x). The ATEM should be connected via Ethernet to the same router as the computer.

[@TheFalaah]

Can this method be used to control the Atem for a completely different location (i.e. a different city)

[@photojoseph]

Two ways to do that. VPN into the network at the remote location, and control the ATEM through an instance of ATEM software running on your local computer, or just a screenshare system like Jump to just share the screen of the remote computer. Both work great; the first one is cleaner but requires more setup (a VPN).

Hi please how can I connect atem mini extreme to my windows laptop and sharing the Internet from laptop to atem to stream live.

[@photojoseph]

Your laptop is getting internet over wifi, and you want to stream from the ATEM using your computer’s wifi, is that right? If so, then do what I showed here for building a tiny network between your computer and the ATEM. You’ll need your wifi and ethernet networks to be on the same router and subnet setting, with different IPs, and that should do it. However keep in mind that wifi is not good for live streaming and you are likely to experience buffering and dropouts.

[@chrisvinkable]

Can we get a better "quality" stream when going directly out the ATEM Mini Pro over the ethernet cable vs sending the signal out the ATEM's USB to the computer and then to youtube? I know from experience that I get a better quality stream video when going from the camera through a Camlink 4k to my computer to a live youtube stream (no atem). I would love to get that same quality directly from the ATEM Mini Pro (without a computer). Is the RTMP-encoded H.264 live stream of the Ethernet the same quality as the USB webcam output (using OBS to encode the USB webcam output into a streamable format) from the ATEM Mini Pro?

[@photojoseph]

hm, debatable. The HDMI output is the full quality signal. SUB video is definitely compressed quite a lot. As far as streaming (via ethernet, as you say), then that depends on the compression level chosen in the streaming settings.

@@photojoseph Mac Computer. The little black round one that’s been dubbed the Trash Can.

[@photojoseph]

@@freakyrandy I understand. If you connect the ATEM directly to the computer, then you need to follow the instructions in this video. The path of least resistance is to plug your ATEM into the network switch that your modem and your computer are also connected to. That way, everything is on the same wired network. If you don’t have a network switch, then presumable your modem has multiple ethernet ports. Plug your computer into one of those, and the ATEM into another.

[@wait4weight]

Ok so what if ethernet connection is not possible? Can the ATEM access the internet through the macbook and type c? The macbook will have access from a mobile hotspot. I know it is not ideal, but it is the only way in some scenarios. Ok, you explained it on your next video thanks!!!

[@noris511]

one question: how do I stream only to my local network without going to the internet?

You have to have something to stream to; hardware or software. You could set up an RTMP receiver on a computer, or the easiest way is to get an ATEM Streaming Bridge, and stream to that on your local network. geni.us/ATEMbridge

[@lewkmiller]

Do you have any videos that address connecting ATEM to network and connecting to it off site via VPN or other methods? I am searching everywhere for this information.

[@photojoseph]

Not in video, but there’s nothing about the ATEM to set up differently. As long as you have your VPN set up correctly, then you can access the ATEM just like any other device on your network. Just open the Atem software remotely, and enter the IP address of your ATEM. It works great; I do it all the time. As far as configuring your VPN goes, I can’t help you with that. That is totally hardware specific and will depend on your router.

@@Morpheus170 Couldn't you copy and paste a clip from each cam out of the master DR track onto separate tracks and stretch them on the timeline?

[@Morpheus170]

@@chenangocreativelabs Yes, that's exactly my process as of today, but imagine doing this for a 2 hour-long event with 3 cameras.

Great explanation but as with most BM hardware, it never works as easy as it sounds. And of course, it is suppose to be so simple that there is nothing to trouble shoot. Well, I plugged the ATEM into my router. And NOTHING. Not a thing. I can stream from the ATEM, but it is not showing up on my network. Ugh. I have this problem with everything BM. The streambridge never worked, the atem mini network doesn't work... Zoom is so much cheaper and more reliable. Ugh. Why even try :( Note: I did get it to eventually work, but not one video on KZbin told me how and the BM website was useless.

[@photojoseph]

Do you want to share what eventually worked? ATEM setup since adding DHCP years ago is typically plug and play. The Streaming Bridge is definitely complicated and requires router configuration but then again it’s a complicated process that it’s doing.

@@photojoseph I had to connect via USB and ethernet. Then open the ATEM Setup. It only recognized the USB. So I opened the USB and found the IP address. Then I had to manually add the IP via the little plus sign at the bottom right of the ATEM setup page. But even this wasn't easy, because it was prefilling the wrong IP for some reason. So I have to disconnect the USB. Close the ATEM setup app. Then reopen. It of course did not recognize anything. But it said "add device manually" and I then clicked that and it let me add the IP manually. Ugh. So clunky. Love your channel though. I just obsorb your info each time I watch. Thanks.

@@GoLiveAlaska interesting. The software should just find the ATEM on the network, no USB required, unless it’s a really complex network (like an office building with tons of routers, subnets, etc.). Glad you sorted it out. Networks can be tricky. And thanks for watching and learning with me!

[@focuspulling]

This isn't a thorough guide, because it makes a judgment on Wi-Fi not being a valid connection, and skips that gigantic subject -- even though there may be "emergency" situations when Wi-Fi is the only option, and the user is smart enough to balance the risks.

[@photojoseph]

Then you should make a video on that. If a user is savvy enough to bridge wifi to the ATEM over their computer, then they don’t need me telling them how to do it.

[@focuspulling]

@@photojoseph Rather comically insecure response. The universal truth for ambitious KZbinrs is: it isn't all about you. Tethering the ATEM Mini Pro to a Wi-Fi-connected computer is not a matter of "savvy," just a few quick clicks. It's another major subject that belongs under a purported "everything you need to know" guide entitled, "How to Connect (the) ATEM Mini to your Network."

[@photojoseph]

@@focuspulling _sigh_ I’ll repeat what I said in the video. Wifi is not recommended. I’m not going to turn around and then tell you how to do it. If you’re so convinced that it’s necessary for emergencies, make your own video and I’ll go comment on it.

[@PrestonBates]

Great video! But still cannot get my ATEM Mini to connect to network with a direct ethernet from router configuration. I know the cable is good, and the network is good from testing. Just cannot get the Mini to show the network logo on the setup app. Help! I'm willing to pay someone to help me fix this! @PhotoJoseph

[@photojoseph]

connect the ATEM to a computer over USB-C and open the setup app, and make sure the ATEM is set to DHCP (assuming your router is set to DHCP as well). You can book time with me but I’m on holiday until late next week. www.photojoseph.com/1to1

@@photojoseph Awesome. Just booked.

See you then!
