Andy, this is a great video! Thanks so much for taking the time to share :)
Fantastic. I wasn't aware of vmix - thanks for the heads-up and the insightful demo.
Thanks, I hope you find i useful.
I like the way you were explaining and giving why you use switchers. thank you very much....
I love VMix!
Yes it’s a great tool, we use it for all sorts of things now. There are other examples and behind the scenes videos on this channel showing some of our real world projects if you are interested. :-)
Thanks Andy. That's an interesting way in which you're using Vmix. Something I never thought of. Great how it can used as a send and receive. I'm new to Vmix but it seems incredible at present. Just need to experiment with all my toys....I mean tools. Cheers again. Aaron
Your package is amazing
Thank you for the video! It was very helpful!!!
Great video! I myself have been using vMix and ATEM switchers for many years now. As of the last couple of years I have started using them together. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, but together they make an awesome system. Currently I am using an ATEM 4k 1m/e in combination with the Basic HD version of vMix. I have a pretty fast HD Elitebook laptop handling the mobile system. The ATEM is contained in a 4ru road case along with a Hyperdeck Studio2, A Teranex 2D, and a 1ru drawer type pullout 17" monitor for the multiview. All camera switching is handled by the ATEM of course outputting to the Hyperdeck recorder. Another program output also goes to the laptop via an AJA SDI to USB capture. vMix takes the input as a single source.
The laptop has two video outputs which I use as follows.
- One output directly back to the ATEM HDMI input1 for CG
- The second output to an external second monitor as an extended desktop
I use vMix for a few simultaneous tasks.
- Backup recording to the local hard disk.
- Live streaming to Ustream
- Sending graphics and lower thirds to the ATEM (an input source, not the program out)
- On occasion I have use the "external' output of vMix to send the program feed to Adobe Flash Media Encoder to simulcast a second live stream to another service provider.
- I have also use the NDI source to pull in additional content from another laptop on the network.
My main laptop is very fast and seems to be able to handle all of it.
Keep in mind, it is only handling one HD input feed from the ATEM.
The laptop is also running the ATEM control software on the second monitor.
I am looking to upgrade vMix to get more input sources and to take advantage of the video call-in function to bring callers into the ATEM.
All in all, vMix and the ATEM make quite the dynamic duo.
I will go nuts if vMix ever decides to add some direct support for the ATEM in the program.
Like remote control of basic ATEM functions, switching, or triggering based on vMix operations or scripts! Perhaps even full preview and program viewing along with switcher control on one screen! I am not sure my heart could take that.
Cheers!
hola como estas me gustaria saber como conectar la notebook con mi atem produccion 4k yo lo quiero para instertar titulos en vivo , creo que por lo que lei conectas tu pc donde esta instalado el vmix al atem ? y cmo hago para tirar los baners en vivo lo tomaria al pc como una camara mas ??
Thanks for the video. I have been searching for that answer so big thumbs up. Will give this a go. Cheers Michael
Great stuff, I think the two make a good combination. I have just started using vMix for streaming too.
Lovely set up there mate!
Thanks, I have a number of jobs where it comes in very handy :-)
Brilliant!
Thank you!!! You made my day!!!!
Brilliant! I was looking at using the ATEM with Wirecast. Very similar to VMIX
Great, glad it was useful.
Great share! Thank you.
Thank you for your video sir your explanation was perfect. I don't have anything like you have can't afford any of it, but I do like the software, I'm able to play with the basics and having fun with just that, hopefully one day I'll be able to be where you're at, keep up the great work thank you.
Robinl52 thanks Robin, I am glad you found it interesting. I think vMix is a good tool for practicing on even if you don't have all the kit for a full production. You can always hire kit in for a big job if needed having built up your confidence with the software.
Beast, incredible, perfect you have a new suscriber forever
Thank you.
It's great! I have it now by my self!
Thanks Martin, I am glad you have found it useful.
Hi Andy, thanks for the presentation. Is it possible to get the setup in the form of a diagram or the steps in a written form? Thanks again.
thanks for sharing!
Gbenga Akintokun I'm glad you found it useful.
Wonderful 👍👍👍
Thank you, glad it was useful.
We also moved to this solution because our PC was having trouble taking in the video feed, adding the mix, outputting the signal and recording the show. We are using a similar method with vMix but pushing the signal with black as transparent. In the ATEM we set using the Luma tab rather than the Chroma tab in the upstream key.
Thanks for the input, that sounds like a good idea as the green is't always pefect. I have found so many cool things I can do now with both setups. I am going to do some more vidoes in due course :-)
hi . can you please tell me how to setup vmix hdmi output for displaying captions to atem
Nice & usefull!!
Thanks.
awesoke
i use am bmd declinck car in my vMix Pc ant output Key and Fill on seperate outputs. works great
i use this set up it works pretty well.
I tend to use it more the other way round these days with the ATEM feeding into vMix for graphics, captions, vt playout etc.
NICE VIDEO
Thanks, I hope it was useful
How will I get the feed on my stem 1 m/e production studio 4k
I agree, Vmix is a very powerful software... for a fraction of the price of any other solution...
I am considering how to get started and it sounds like Vmix and the Black Magic ATEM is an excellent if not outstanding solution. Thanks for the comments on this setup, just to confirm your perspective, you use the black magic switcher and only send one feed to the PC running Vmix, for a remote call in video, you also route that call through the ATEM box, is that correct? Thank you for the reply.
I have just then an HDMI feed from the VMix computer bit there are others in the comments using it the other way round too so it can be pretty flexible. I haven't used the video call as yet but that looks like it could be an awesome feature.
how to get output in black magic Intensity Pro 4K vmix
So what is the hardware you used to connect multiple cameras/ when I used vimix the frame rate is very slow. you have mentioned no need to buy high end pcs. Can you specify what hardware you used? Thank you.
I would look into mimoLive. It's a very powerful software the integrates perfectly with the BMD products. It was made to output graphics to the Atem line of switchers.
Thanks, I'll take a look at that too.
Can we do full screen on the same laptop on that we are working on Vmix
What a completely new idea to everyone's thinking. Personally, I use H2R Graphic software from another computer, then put the HDMI signal into the Atem Mini Pro... so I can try vMix and put it through the Atem Mini Pro...
John is doing some good things with H2R :-). More recently we send graphics and alpha channel into the ATEM over 2 SDI cables and get a very clean key but I don’t think you can do that with the ATEM mini over HDMI.
Thank you. You may have saved me some money. Good video!
Thanks, glad it was useful.
Hi Andy,
How do you think we can do the following idea :
- the director press PGM input 9 (for example) on ATEM panel
- that would launch the ready-to-play video in v-mix
=> how can atem launch a remote PLAY function on vmix...
Thanks !
William
This sounds like the perfect job for a stream deck.
How to run Vmix (.png) file from Blackmagic (with macro)?
We at WMVPRO.TV (Master Video TV) found it would be easier to use vMix as a Master Control Operation for LIVE STREAMING the sunday church service of IGLESIA CRISTIANA CIUDAD DE DIOS (City of GOD Christian Church) . Also for recording productions, we use BM ATEM with 4 cameras and the output feed to vMix, and in coordination with the TV Director when he want to ID in lower third the Pastor of the Church. The Master Control Operator will do that function LIVE. Also if a video will be Play Back in an specific moment the video will be loaded to vMix before the LIVE STREAMING start to be Broadcast. When the TV Director announce the video play back the MCOperator will be switching LIVE but in vMix the video and then switch back to the BM LIVE . This vMix is the best and flexible software to work with for LIVE or Recorded video productions. Martin Sinclair and vMix TEAM you are the DREAM TEAM FOR LIVE STREAMING. To take a look of what we did last Sunday here a link to a video that is in our UA-cam Channel: ua-cam.com/video/a5ac4Ch0xo8/v-deo.html
Master Video TV interesting to see someone else making similar use of this already. It does seem a good combination doesn't it.
Plus you have replay and ext callers
Thanks 👍
You’re welcome.
One question - how you input a main audio mix (from a.mixer) to Atem? Thanks
thanks, brother
I'm glad you found it useful.
You are helping people .. and you are not taking any thing against that .. thanks is not enough for you.. I wish that I can help you to build a better studio
Are you using Blackmagic as your video editor?!? I downloaded it and tried it but seems to be too complex for me :(
MotoFuzzi I use Edius, from Grass Valley as my editor..
And if you have a bm router you can run different inputs from your setup but you need a sdi card probably the 8 channel one then you can use the replay and output 2 back to atem
I am a user of Vxim software. because there are many features inside. I want to buy an ATEM switcher. but afraid of not supporting vmix. I used to use vmix to like streaming on Facebook and youtube. please explain, does ATEM switcher support vmix. if support I immediately buy it. I'm glad to be interested in ATEM switchers, especially Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD Live Production Switcher products
I'm just feeding an HDMI output from the computer into the ATEM, as long as the resolution is the same the ATEM just sees it as an input.
hello my wonderful media tech
please, i will be glad to know the software you use to add your lyrics to music...
i couldn't sub-title my songs lyrics...... i find it difficult. i couldn't see anyone to help me out with these..... please.... am using EASYWORSHIP and VMIX
thanks so much, looking forward to receive from you.
How can I do lit real time stream it’s possible I need to set?
now in vmix 21 you canuse a bmd decklink card with two hdsdi outputs and feed your atem switcher with key and fill!
That is really interesting, I will take a look at that.
@@apntv i use 2 sdi outputs from pc to atem. works great
Juri Stöckli excellent, thanks for the feedback.
What did you find was the best way to connect the 1 M/E to your laptop?
On the example in the video I took HDMI from the laptop into the ATEM and keyed against the green background. More commonly these days we will use vMix to output 2 SDI channels for key and fill and take SDI into the ATEZm and use the keyer in the ATEM.
Also can you add a shortcut to play video when it’s switched in atem?
These days you can setup all sorts of automation using Companion and a Streamdeck for example, linked to both the ATEM and vMix.
hola muy bueno el video pero yo tengo un problema , tengo un atem studio con vmix pro y no puedo configurar al croma , salgo desde mi notebook con vmix por hdmi al atem studio y configuro key1 con croma pero no me toma la mezcla que puede ser ??' no logro poner un titulo siempre me sale todo verde y el titulo
Difficult to know the problem, maybe look up some examples of configuring chroma key to get rid of the green background.
Perhaps you should look to an all NDI-based solution with your current setup. Your live-production pains will be greatly mitigated.
used to run my atems setup the same as this but dawned on me one day instead of feeding vmix as a source into the atem, it would be much easier to feed the atems output into vmix. using the vmix output to connect to my hardware streaming encoders / recorders. I'm now only really using my atem as a switched input for live video and using vmix to switch overlays, switch to play out vids, images etc. and in some cases when I need to run to additional streaming locations and / or recording to the PCs harddrive, that's also done in vmix.
Andrew Ellis That makes sense, I guess I tried it this way round as I was really looking for a nice video play out solution but I can certainly see the benefit of feeding the output into vMix. Using captions would much easier and cleaner. Thanks for the feedback. Andy
apntv drawback with using vmix as a downstream keying system is that you now have your live feed relying on the stability of your vmix pc. If that goes down you go dark! What would be good is if vmix aloud you to do a key & fill output on a BMD card then you would have the best of both worlds. You can do this with NDI by using a piece of software made by Siena that takes vmix’s Key and fill out over NDI and converts it to hdsdi that you can feed into your Atem. I have done this and works great. We just need BMD to create an NDI to HDSDI with key&fill convertor the we can bypass the sienna software. :)
i think youll wait a long time for BMD to release anything ndi. They have an IP solution using TICO, which is an accepted broadcast codec. The fact they have gone this route makes me think they'll stay with it and not make anything ndi. Currently only one device in their range supports IP infrastructure being the teranex mini converter video to IP 12g agn which uses TICO. You do have the option of running a backup program out of the atem using an aux, if your concerned abt the reliability of the vmix pc, but so far I've never had an issue. Modern PC hardware is very reliable and providing you spec it out for what you intend it to do, I don't have any particular doubts in it. The problem arises when you try doing to much with a under powered installation.
Do you need a capture card if your PC has HDMI in already?
It depends, most HDMI sockets on a PC are monitor outputs, they do not have an input. That is where a capture card comes in, like a Blackmagic Intensity Pro which is an internal capture card.or external USB capture devices.
I'm thinking of running my ATEM Mini Pro into a laptop running Vmix (via usb) and then going out of my laptop into a LiveU solo. Have you seen anyone else do that with the ATEM Mini Pro? how does it work?
I haven't seen that exact workflow, I'm not sure if you can get the ATEM Mini USB output into vMix that way but you may be able to.
What hardware switching panel are you using?
It is called Mix-It, you can search it on Google, I think they are at Mix-it.tv. It is a nice panel, they just sent me a firmware update to make it work with my new Constellation HD switcher too.
hola como estas me gustaría saber como conectar la notebook con mi atem producción 4k yo lo quiero para insertar títulos en vivo , creo que por lo que lei conectas tu pc donde esta instalado el vmix al atem ? y cmo hago para tirar los baners en vivo lo tomaría al pc como una cámara mas ??
If your laptop has HDMI output you should be able to feed that into the ATEM. You should be able to select the right output from vMix however I have not tried it from a laptop as yet.
gracias x la pronta respuesta , como lo conectas vos al vmix al atem? el traductor de youtube de ingles a español es muy malo en video por eso pregunto x aca ...
I take an HDMI cable from the HDMI output of the computer and connect it to the HDMI input on the ATEM, I hope that makes sense.
perfecto ahora la pregunta es : yo trabajo con camaras en 1080i 60 cuadros , para entrar desde la pc al atem como hago para poner la misma resolucion ? vmix te deja poner esa resolucion a travez de hdmi? o precisas un escalador desde el pc al atem ?
I was able to set the output from my PC to 1080 50i as I am using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4k card. If you cannot get the correct output from the laptop I guess you might need to use a scaler if the HDMI does not automatically adapt.
how many camera can be used for ATEM 1 M/E Studio 4k. If I have more cameras must I upgrade to the ATEM 2/M E Switcher?
The ATEM 1M/E Production Studio 4K has 10 SDI inputs, input 1 can be selected between an SDI or HDMI input. As an example, the (1) M/E Mix Effect engine allows you to mix 2 sources together, I.e. a Picture in Picture box. A 2M/E switcher would allow you to have 2 Picture in Picture boxes. Do you have more than 10 cameras or inputs?
@@apntv 12 Cameras; 3 iphones; 3 ipads; 3 12k ursa mini pro; 3 studio pro 4k cameras in my studio. So I can use the ATEM 1 M/E or ATEM 2 M/E?
@@gospelpopmusic you would be best to look at the new ATEM Constellation HD 2 M/E, which has 20 inputs. I now have one of these and they are much more advanced than the older model however they only switch HD and not 4K video.
GREETINGS I USE VMIX, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU CONNECT THE BLACKMAGI CAMERAS TO VMIX THROUGH WHAT RESOURCE I AM VERY INTERESTED IN KNOWING. AUDIO AND VIDEO
You can add cameras into vMix using a capture device. I am now using a Blackmagic Declink card to connect the ATEM and vMix machine but I take cameras directly into the ATEM.
Will Vmix allow me to switch live between 3 cameras, each with a different chromakey background, using my computer keyboard, or
another external keyboard? Also will this software work with an iMac, or is only compatible with windows?
VMix is Windows only I think but check out vmix.com
Is there a way to use titles with an alpha channel instead of green screen?
Yes’m I now use vMix with a Blackmagic Decklink card to send Key/Fill outputs into the ATEM. This is much better as you can control the level of transparency too. It does take up 2 ATEM inputs but for me that is fine. I also tend to use vMix for remote callers (for hybrid, conference events), VT playout and graphics, playing those into the ATEM. I switch the ATEM from a control surface and use a Streamdeck to trigger events in vMix. It is certainly possible to use software like Companion in conjunction with a Streamdeck to control the operation of both together.
@@apntv ya vmix with the atem is a nice setup!!! Even just for video play out.. how awesome would it be if atem supported ndi?.. do ya think we will ever see it
@@joeybaronstudio not much sign of BMD adopting NDI at the moment but who knows in the future, maybe they will surprise us :-)
Exactly my point!!! In a mission critical gig the atem is going to work all the time.. and try to build a pc with 16 sdi ins and outs for 5000$ or 10000$ even.. it just sucks that atem doesn’t support ndi
Yes that is a shame.
@@apntv they do make those ndi converters but they are expensive
@@joeybaronstudio indeed, they should get cheaper very soon with the introduction of NDI5, I have been using various converters and vMix to work with NDI.
If you see my videos an the CX350 camera, which can do NDI-HX, I also use SRT to send straight from the camera over long distance into vMix as seen in the recent CX350 Firmware Update video if that is of interest.
can the vmix software work on a Mac computer
I think so, check out their website.
No, VMix is for Windows only. I use OBS. It is free and it is available for Windows and Mac. OBS is not as polished and convenient as VMix though.
there is no point in using mac. with mac you need to use expensive thunderbolt stuff just to use a pcie declink card. so yust get a pc (tower) and install the declink card directly.
Sdi can carry a alpha channel right?
I don’t think so but we do send 2 SDI feeds from vMix, 1 video and 1 Alpha and use the ATEM keyer to get an even cleaner key/fill.
@@apntv sdi carries from decklink
I need urgent help
