The Ultimate ATEM Mini Pro Rig for Wedding Filmmakers

[@lonestarinternetvideosolut9657]

Your setup looks great! I made one very similar for myself about a year and half ago, and I'm pretty proud of it, but yours is next level. Major difference with mine is that I rack mounted a mini pc for my control center, a Decimator D-Mon Quad to convert 4 of the HMDIs into SDI, and POE switch to use Dante gear and be able to plug in. I use the same type of monitor as you, and I am going to replace my router with a wifi router that combines a cellular modem with it. Still, yours looks better, and I love it.

[@derekpreciadophotography]

would be awesome if you guys can do a video of you actually connecting everything with the cameras and or a BTS wedding with this bad boy. Great video! Cheers!

[@bob76451]

That looks like a great setup. I'm going to have to make one of those for myself. One note: HDMI cables are not directional, and they can't go over 25ft reliably. What you likely have is an optical HDMI cable. It transmits picture over a fiber optical cable and has electro-optical converters in the plugs on the ends. These types of cables are usually reliable out to 100m.

Thanks for this video i was getting ready to cut up my 1610 pelican crate till now... Stoked!

[@RafiDean]

This is great! One of the best rigs I’ve seen for ATEM mini pro.

[@WeddingPros]

Thanks a lot! Check out the podcast too!

[@JosartsStudio]

Have you had any signal issues with anything less than 60fps via hdmi from atem?

[@ob_juankenobi2289]

Does the custom patch panel power input pass through to the power bar or do you have to run two separate power cables? Do you have a video that shows how the wiring looks inside the box?

[@DJGeek]

I want to build something similar I currently have a ocsee dual and think of adding a rack mountable poe switch it's sliding tray does not pull up but I did find a 2U version

[@edwnsoto18]

Nice Setup , I am planning to build live stream rig, thanks for the recommendation.. great video

[@chrisrichardson8908]

I wouldn't know the first thing about putting 1 together and how to hook everything up . I do live stream from my phone and stream to our chruch Facebook. But man this is nice .

[@ajleak1]

Would be nice if you could do a video on how you actually put this rig together.

[@hibbasc1]

If the Besign monitor stand was placed on top of your rack (where your laptop is in the video), and the monitor stand in it's collapsed position, would you be able to get the rack top on? Thank you!

[@ctdcreative]

Hi Awesome Video. I am building the exact rig with parts you specified. I received my Custom Inputs and Output Rack plate and Denon DN-312x Audio Mixer. Can you provide a link to a wiring diagram on how you wired the TRX jumper wires to Neutrik NCJ6FI-S Solder Type Combo Jacks on the panel?

[@epicvission]

any luck with the wiring?

[@PrimeResolutionPro]

Bought the Redco i/o plate and ran into the same issue. How are you connecting the back of the combo jacks to you mixer. Any resolve to this???

[@W8HRV1606]

How are you adding delay for the audio ? The mixer doesn't look it has any delay on it.

[@jonchamberlain]

I've made almost an identical rig! haha. Love the stand for your multiview (I also have the same screen). By the way the HDMIs your using are probably fiber which is why they are one-way only. I use a few of the same, just not as chunky as yours.

[@badenrakesh]

Hi mate would you mind sharing some of your build experience please. I have ordered bits and pieces but not sure how to proceed etc any help will be much appreciated many thanks

[@ivanteece]

Very cool! Maybe turn a light on

[@truce11]

Nice... Not gonna lie - that HDMI coupler would make me little anxious on a gig, but I get the reason

[@tedz2000]

would like to see your cameras and your actual workflow ie graphics alt video etc. and also how are you running the mixer over to the ATEM and how are you syncing the audio...

[@abecoulter8550]

You should ad a managed switch and NDI and if your keen Dante..

[@marksee9154]

Nice video. Thanks for the Teradek reco!

[@MrDa105]

Love this setup

[@willmannering]

Great video! Was hoping you would touch on wireless audio in a future video since that's basically a necessity when livestreaming wedding ceremonies

[@justinmillikan2258]

Thanks for this video... exciting possibilities here. Would love more content specifically on live streaming! How to set client expectations, thoughts on pricing, what cameras you use, how to capture audio....

[@JHJOwen]

Amazing rig!!

[@olli_k]

If you do go with an inverter, invest in a pure sine wave inverter. In my experience I have found that some new electronic devices will not work with a modified sine wave power supply. Pure sine wave inverters are more expensive than modified sine wave inverters, on average a good pure sine wave inverter will run you around $1 per watt that it can provide. I have a Samlex 120W pure sine wave inverter that I paid $130 for and it has worked every device I have plugged in to it.

[@shermanstreetchurchofgod]

What are you connecting to the IEC port? I notice when you plug the female side into the male end it turns on the power bar rack below.

[@garrycore]

Great video. Let me ask you. What modifications would need to be made if you're using the ATEM Extreme Pro? Beginning with the case. Is it wide enough?

[@roybaguidy6174]

Cool setup. I was thinking of getting the inseego; but how does the hotspot connection work with the atem mini pro?

[@haroldjohnson7755]

Hello, how is the monitor holder attached to the shelf. Thanks!

[@eldhovettickal5738]

Hi, I'm trying to build the box with your recommendations. can you please send me some information about your Audio wiring?

[@badenrakesh]

Hi mate any luck with your build I ordered some of the stuff. But not sure how to proceed etc. Please let me know how far you got with it

[@Ted2000-p3s]

how are you syncing the audio from the mixer with the atem, are you running a line in into the MIC inputs on the ATEM or your running audio seperately and syncing

[@JeanMarcLavoie]

This is great if you only stream via Ethernet but I personally have found situations where we need to go to a device like the LiveU Solo and need to go PGM out from the HDMI on the ATEM and forgo the M/V.

[@WeddingPros]

We do kinda dress that in the end when discussing using a 4G hotspot.

[@WeddingPros]

@RockDaBeat Yeah. We have and we will always acknowledge cellular bonding is the right way to do it, but we just figure a Teradek is a little outside the scope of most wedding filmmakers budget. I totally AGREE the single (or non custom routable) output on the ATEM is an issue.

[@djw1091994]

@@WeddingPros Might defeat some of the purpose of the ATEM mini, but can't you use the HDMI out from the ATEM for program view and then use the USB for webcam out to a PC and then stream that way? Although now you loose recording functionality on the ATEM it self.

[@epicvission]

@@djw1091994 Yes its totally possible, i do this every week

[@prosafetytrainings2013]

Where can I buy a unit like this already built and ready to go?

[@hourglassmedia9949]

Awesome setup!

[@SteveVickAK]

Damn, that is impressive. So, how is your audio connected to the ATEM mini? You have XLR inputs, where do they go? Do they go into the mixer? Having a hard time figuring out how you got the mixer, custom rack and ATEM to all work together. Would love to learn more. Thanks.

[@gerardobello1747]

This is by far the most professional rig for Atem mini. I guess will fit the Extreme ISO too. Did you tried any wireless solution instead of running hdmi cables everywhere?

[@colbyhodges]

Your world is going to be rocked when you discovery HDMI-SDI converters.

[@gtmb4Jesus]

Nice video. How did you connect the xlr/trs panel connectors to the Dennon xlr/trs so that both options work?

[@badenrakesh]

Hi mate really good setup after watching this I am thinking of making this for my 10 year old daughter who wants to become KZbin vloggers. I got few questions please if you can help out. First of all in uk you can’t use the adj power bar would you suggest something similar please. Second IEC connection how do you set that up inside plus bit more pics of connection inside please so I can make sure I get it right. I have ordered quite a bit from your list provided. Many thanks once again.

[@majorredbeard]

Nice setup! For your XLR Combo inputs, do you have to do anything special to switch between XLR and 1/4" inputs? How are they handled inside of your rack unit?

[@markyboy_productions]

Dope video! Thank you!

[@CGPdude100]

Hold up - some HDMI cables are directional?!?! That explains why my 50ft cables sometimes work and sometimes don't.... Makes so much sense!!!!

[@DJGeek]

It HDMI over fiber

[@ajleak1]

Thanks for sharing this video! If you don't mind, could you tell me what you plugged into the IEC port on the input and output rack? I noticed that whatever you plugged into the IEC port powered the audio mixer rack below. I am trying to follow your layout, but that part has me a bit confused.

[@EwEsco]

would you build one.. how much?

[@epicvission]

Howdy! Really digging the setup. Cant wrap my head around how you're running audio. Q: So when I get to my gig and need to plugin to vocal mics for the talent - They get plugged into the Redco rack? If so how do you leverage the rest of the (denon) racks inputs if you only have 4 XLR inputs in the Redco

[@AwesomeShotStudios]

Great video! Streaming is not for the faint of heart (at least if you want it looking good and being reliable). I've seen to many terrible DIY solutions that fail under pressure. This build is a solid one! How visible is your multi-view monitor in direct sunlight? Do you have a shade for it?

[@philippeb777]

How have you solved audio monitoring from the ATEM mini? Can you share anything on that?

[@gerardobello1747]

I was looking at the equipment list he have there and the monitor has a 3.5mm audio jack. I monitor my audio through my monitor. The audio mixer has an output too, but you will not know how that enter to your Atem. But he mention that even though sounds good, you should monitor the streaming end just to be sure.

[@volpix4025]

What is your connection set up to with sending audio output from the board to the Atem mini? is it an XLR out from the board to stereo 3.5mm to the Atem?

[@WeddingPros]

Split XLR to stereo 1/8”

[@proaudioandchurchtech3791]

Great video I will say you are own borrowed time with those long HDMI runs they WILL fail. I have bought the most expensive ones including "fiber" and have replaced all of them eventually, instead consider using use SDI converters and never replace an sdi cable for the life of the cable.

[@zdravkogalinec2044]

What are you mounting the ATEM to?

[@ltraingalaxy122]

Do u have one for the atem mini extreme

[@jaymccutchen]

We do! Our new channel @weddingfilmschool!

[@Schmidlap]

How long did your I/O panel from redco take from order to delivery?

[@bob76451]

I've ordered a fair bit from Redco and they usually don't take more than a few days to get a custom panel built.

[@visualizemedia4580]

THE YELLOW BAND that is holding ATEM. What is the brand?

[@WeddingPros]

No idea! Just some magnet band from Lowe’s!!! Sorry!

[@terrycochran533]

HOW MUTCH DO YOU CHARG TO MAKE ONE

[@jdsfilmproduction4313]

Very nice bro

[@joelalonsopr8]

amazing video! could you recommend a specific good quality 100ft hdmi cable? dont really know how to judge which is good or not at that distance haha thanks!!

[@computerjantje]

100ft hdmi cable is IMPOSSIBLE and yet they are sold and very very sometimes work with very forgiving equipment and a amplifier. However HDMI only works in general for a max 0f 10 meters reliable. Please note that HDMI is a consumer connection. Not a professional connection. However there are cables that change the hdmi to an optical signal inside the hdmi connectors and transport the signal that way over the fiber optic cable. They are called "optical hdmi cable" Please keep in mind optical hdmi cable convert the singal. This causes some delay. Also optical cable are known to be fragile. Si I would recommend to use hdmi to sdi (and back) converters. That way your transport goes over sdi cable which is robust and the professional standard of transporting video signal over longer cable. Explaining this technical is too much for one comment :)

[@luketoh1]

@@computerjantje why not use Fiber Optic HDMI cables?

[@computerjantje]

@@luketoh1 I just explained that here 4 months ago. Or maybe my limited english made you think that what I called "optical hdmi cable" is not the same as "fiber optic hdmi cable"

[@luketoh1]

@@computerjantje Sorry, I missed that part as KZbin collapsed your reply. So SDI has less or no delay for conversion?

[@computerjantje]

@@luketoh1 Yes no delay when converting hdmi-sdi --> sdi to hdmi. I use Black Magic converters. Usually I use two camera's which have their own 50 meter sdi cable including converts on both sides. And two camera's with hdmi cables with a max of 10 meters (usually shorter). There is no noticeable delay difference between the 4 camera's. With my camera's and the Atem mini I have to set 5 frames of sound delay when I feed sound directly into the Atem. This means that I have 7 frames (on a 50 frps feed) delay of video compared to direct sound. But I guess this differs per camera brand and type.

@@WeddingPros really appreciate it, man! sam with the RIG! good stuff!

[@computerjantje]

I re-watched your video a bit. I think budget and especially weight are to be considered. There is no best or ultimate setup. It always depends on what it is going to be used for. Rolling a case on little wheels is not what I like to do. especially with equipment that had the fragile hdmi connectors and fragile usb-c or mini connectors. So I made my case as light as possible with still everything in.
