    Thank you for sharing your experience. I get so much out of the information provided. As I have previously said, I may not have the same equipment, but I am able to relate with what you are discussing with what I am working with which helps me make certain decisions. This is what sets you apart from other channels. When discussing something that may be brand specific, you have a way of allowing the viewer to gain information that can help them with whatever brand they work with. As you reach 100K subs by the weekend, you have not only built a quality channel, but also a strong quality community. Looking forward to new and interesting projects you have planned for the new year.

    11:29 "I think, there's something funky..." will be my new catch phrase for describing effed up mystery problems ;0D
    Used to have similar problems with equipment outputting 23.98p pretending to be 24p and the actual 24p only hardware - it was just... funky. (in fact that's when i learnt that NTSC 24p is a 23.976p and i lived in PAL country). Great to see outtakes segment at the end - brings you closer to us mere mortals transfixed by the thorough and informative content you churn out, hope you're gonna keep it as regular cherry on top. ;)

  • @BCPaulVideoProd

    Just a thought on the converter issues. I've used many HDMI converters over the years and sometimes the issue is with how it handles 24p or 1080i. Everything used to have to comply with tape-based standards, so 24p would actually be 23.94 Over 29.97p on an DVCPro tape (Pulldown). Which would actually just double intermittent frames as it records to achieve a similar result without changing the tape speed. 1080i has multiple field dominances and can trip up converters as well. The more expensive converters with scalers like the Decimator can deal with that. My old school solution for streaming and switching has been just to switch everything over to 720p 60p which was the actual resolution of the TV broadcast station I worked at and happens to be compatible with almost everything. If you run across another handshake issue I'd consider playing with resolution and frame rate if possible. I really love the channel, thanks for entertaining me on my lunch break. ~Brian

    Question for my crazy brain: Could you use the HDMI out to go into a Black Magic ATEM Mini to extend the ATEM Mini's available cameras while adding multiview for four cameras? That would be legit.

  • @purplepplmedia
    @purplepplmedia 4 роки тому

    😂 Hilarious ending on the video Gerald! Lol. Lately we have been learning how to use the Atomos Sumo 19 with 2 C300 Mark 3's for interviews, and the recorded production cuts are great to an SSD. You're right, keep your audio out to a audio recorder like a Zoom 6, as it can be terrible right out of the monitor if not set up right. Thanks for the great education on multi-stream recording.

  • @russellchai3644
    @russellchai3644 5 років тому

    Thank you for addressing the Atomos levels issue. Used the Shogun Inferno with my GH5 a few months back and noticed that something was up and I recently got a Ninja V for the S1H and had the same problem. I spent hours trying to figure it out only to realize it has been issue for quite some now and Atomos has done nothing to solve it.
    On a side note it would also be awesome in a future update if Atomos would allow its recorders to recognize 48fps

    That was an informative video, beyond the information about the Shogun switching. Now I want to try a second camera setup on my one-person productions. I wonder what the issue is with the Ninja V HDMI output? The manual says that timecode can interfere with other equipment, but you would expect other Atomos equipment to work with it. Could it be HDMI cables?

    It's the same with the Ninja V which I don't buy because of that.
    The external recorders are here to make the workflow smoother, not to add a step in post.
    Waiting for a recorder which handles that.
    Thanks for your video!

  • @mr.michaeljones5710

    I also too find it interesting that you were having some video drop signal issues when running from the HDMI OUTPUTS of your Ninja V to your Atomos converters🤔...I mean if your Outputting 1080p from the ninja V into those 1080p converts then what could be the ultimate issue?
    Bandwidth, refresh rate aka (frame rate), handshaking lol idk🤷‍♂️??? I wonder if the ninja’s can output 1080i vs 1080p...? Anyways thank you again for the wonderful tutorial/educational videos! 🙌
    P.S funny outtakes haha

    @channelgufin9633 5 років тому

    Thanks. Info on HDMI/SDI converters, external recorders, etc. is really helpful as there may be unknown "gotchas" without testing various scenarios. I was thinking of externally recording UHD and sending an FHD feed but seems like I need to do thorough testing before any purchase.
    If you wanted both a) 4K SDI output and b) external 4K recording capability, would you prefer to use individual Atomos recorders for each camera, or HDMI/SDI converters and record via a vision switcher/recorder setup? Or something else? I'm in the preliminary stages and there seem to be pros and cons, no clear cut "winner"... and cost is significant given I'd be working with 6-8 cameras.

  • @danielbrunal2235
    @danielbrunal2235 4 роки тому

    Great vid about the live switching.
    I'm actually very curious about what you brought up regarding internal Log Gamma recordings vs the Atomos external Log Gamma recordings and that added contrast into the footage. Does this issue exist when transmitting via SDI from Camera to Monitor? How about when transmitting from Camera's HDMI out to a Converter and then to the Atomos SDI input?

  • @GlennLucasWoodTurner
    @GlennLucasWoodTurner 4 роки тому

    Hi Gerald. I bought the shogun 7 after watching this and other videos as a solution to live streaming switching. I have one problem. It can not pick up the signal from my Canon EOSR going through the atomos red coloured HDMI to SDI converter. It keeps telling me to set the camera output to SDI level A which I can not. It has no problem detecting my C300 mr ii or black magic studio camera going through the HDMI/SDI conversion. All three cameras were set to the same frame rate and resolution. Would the atomos yellow cross converter be my solution. Thanks and I very much enjoy your videos. Very clear and helpful.

  • @LloydLoo
    @LloydLoo 5 років тому

    Agree on the problem with the Ninja V HDMI output. Wanted to use the HDMI output of the Ninja V to output to a projector while recording for a job but it just wouldn't work. Had to split the signal before going to the recorder to work around this.

  • @Philly10185
    @Philly10185 4 роки тому +1

    Shogun 7 has no 4k over HDMI. I have 3 4k cameras outputting over SDI, ran them into my Shogun 7 and it doesn't work. So this box ain't all its cracked up to be, better off buying a proper live switcher, to top it off, it gets VERY HOT, even with a single camera, it is quite slow in switching between playback and recording mode and although this guy claims theres an improvement on the user interface, i think it still sucks in comparison to some touch screen devices we are now accustomed to. One of my main reasons for buying this was so that I could record my audio from external mics directly into the Shogun 7. They claimed it had XLR but the input looked weird to me. It then turns out you have to buy a special cable from Atomos (who are the only ones that make it) which converts 2 real stereo XLR plugs and converts them into the Atomos port on the side which costs £120. You have to buy it because nobody else makes it and its only for that purpose. Why isn't that included in the box? Thats been done deliberately to squeeze a few more £££s out of people. This is an honest opinion from someone who's owned and used this for 3 months in a studio location setup. Don't blow your £1300 like I did, its not worth it. This box is worth like £400 if you ask me. If you want to use the SSD case that comes with it, make sure you use the high speed samsung evo drives(which are twice as expensive as the normal ones), I had to learn that the hard way, also this won't come with a sata 11 connection for that. Again I was a sucker thinking there was something about their special Atomos sata 11 connector to find out it is just a branded version of £10 product you can find on Amazon. Atomos are using the apple model to make money off people, sell you the skeleton product and overpriced accessories. Companies with this type of business practice will survive when they have products for the masses like Apple do, when your're selling niche products like this it appears they have a really short sighted business model as I won't be buying any of their products again. In 2 years time there will be some Chinese company making a product like this for £200.

    THANK YOU!!! this is great. This was a good starting point for me to try out the switching feature. I ran into a problem with my EOSR. I'm using the Blackmagic micro convertor with latest firmware update to get HDMI to SDI from EOSR. The problem is no matter what res and frame rate I set on the EOSR the Atomos only reads input as 59.94??
    I tried my GH4 with the exact same set up with the converter etc... and I was able to dial in any frame rate. Also if I plug the EOSR directly into the Shoguns HDMI port it will read the frame rate just fine, its only when I use the combo of the R and converter that it only see's 59.94

I have a question that is not covered: I prefer the dissolve switching and understood that it is not baked in into the recording on the shogun7 (5th recording file) but I think the whole Shogun switching fails for live events if this can't be output to the audience. You say the Output HDMI gives only hard cuts - ist this also true for the SDI Output?

    Since you’re the only reputable UA-camr still using a Bmpcc4k (unless I missed out on a video), do you mind taking a look at the Port Keys BM5 (2200nit and camera control for the BMPCC4K).
    I’d like to know your opinions and thoughts, and maybe with your platform, can persuade larger, more well known, companies like Atomos to include camera control features in their devices?

    I have seen this video before but now I really notice something else.You warn us for taking the main sound to the Shogun 7 because if you need to change anything on the 7. you loose the sound as well. Does that meen that the streaming in it selves contious all the time, despite the record stop ? In that case, witch way would you relay from unother recorder (NinjaV) in to the 7. to get a backup rec. (with the missing part) WHEN you rec.at the 7. I again.
