@ducthongstudio. Blackmagic Design is very helpful. I suggest that you contact them.

Good Day sir.

I am the senior pastor of our church. We use the Atem TS. We use an 8 core Mac Pro 2.4ghz. But the Media Express seems to work horridly for us. Have you had issues with it? We want to record live via ME and edit for broadcast in FCP X. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Bless you

@christlovemins Be sure you have the latest version of Media Express. Also, in your preferences, select an encoder other than Uncompressed, which igenerates files too large to manage. We use the "Apple TV" preset which captures at 720p. ProRes422 also great for editing, but files are also large. Final Cut Pro X .m4v and .mp4 video. This format is fine, especially if your final output is for the web. If best quality is needed, go with ProRes422 all the way.

@ sergiubs - ATEM sends two video outputs: 1) via USB2 in H.264 format. This output includes audio if AES/EBU digital audio is supplied to ATEM switcher via the a BNC connection. 2) HDMI without audio. In both instances, output is recorded using the supplied Media Express software. HDMI output supports uncompressed recording. Check Blackmagic Design website for full specs.

@Misanfernando For time sake, I cannot go over the set up, step by step. Call BMD, they have excellent tech support. Regarding the IP, I did discover that you can only use the Ethernet connection when controlling the ATEM device. Make sure to turn off WiFi. The computer used for ATEM cannot also be online, since this creates an IP conflict.

@joakomoreno You cannot use the H.264 output for live webcasting. Ustream, Livestream will not recognize it. We use the HDMI output with BMD Intensity Pro card for live video webcasting. We use Wirecast and Justin.tv for webcasting. BMD has a device that can convert HDMI to Thunderbolt (UltraStudio 3D) for use with Mac or PC.

@SpicyNachoFilms For long video runs, We take component HD from the camera and convert to HDMI at the ATEM switcher using an Component to HDMI converter (Check Amazon)

[SpicyNachoFilms]

Thanks for the video. How far are your HDMI cable runs? Do you experience any problems with long distance hdmi?

@newmediaforministry I contacted them over w a week ago. Still waiting for a reply.

Maybe I'll just rent a tricaster for my upcoming shoot.

Hi, Just wondering how you've synced your audio to your video? I'm using a Edirol Roland Digital mixer to run audio through and to pass into the ATEM Television Studio via it's AES EBU audio input and there's a massive latency in audio sync.

Just wondering how you're running audio into your unit and if it's in sync? Thanks

My church is considering the ATEM television studio for our internet streaming ministry, we also want to send the video to LCD screens in the lobby. Have you noticed any audio/video synch issues (video and audio do not match)?

Thanks

Thank you verry much for this Video!!! Is it possible to integrate a Blu-Ray or DVD as source from a HDMI input?

[ducthongstudio]

@newmediaforministry can you show me how to connect from Behringer ULTRAMATCH PRO SRC2496 to ATEM TV STUDIO? I got all these stuff but it is so confusing to connect the audio to the ATEM. I read the instruction but I have no idea how to make it work. Please help if you can Please send me all the instruction to my email: ducthongstudio@yahoo.com

Great explanation, thanks
