Your overview and quality was great, especially compared to others that talk about live-streaming and switching. Thanks and please cover this topic more!
Thanks!
Thank you. I would like to follow your teaching. If you have your link then please link to me so that it can help me to cover more topics.
Totally informative. Thanks for sharing how you work at such a level of detail.
Great content and that comes from a retired broadcaster here, although I've definitely been looking at doing a few things. Thanks and stay safe.
Solid tutorial! Keep the content coming. Thanks Jerad.
One of the best videos I've seen on live streaming! Thank you! Subbed
Awesome. Thank you for that! More to come.
Quite similar setup for our conferences. Though I use now a Rodecaster Pro II for sound, especially because I need also a moderator directly talking with attendees in Teams and also feed back audio from online to the main room. As the new Rodecaster has those routing options including avoiding loopbacks, that works quite well.
Thinking of using a Blackmagic DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder in a PCIe to Tunderbolt box and OBS on a HP Zbook plus a small Stream Deck instead of the Atem mini in future. As nice it is having the Atem running independently and so keep PC load low, I just dislike the Blackmagic switcher software. You can do with OBS so much more and much easier PiP and scenes. But I will bring the Atem along to venues, just as a backup or if needed as hdmi to webcam converter (runs more stable than Camlink in my opinion).
Wonderful video. Very instructional. Loved the notes on the backup feeds
Thanks!
Thanks for this! Ace setup guide. Working on livestream setup for my events. This is perfect
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the info. I am glad you did not have any issue with those wireless transmitters. I have 3 sets of Hollyland 400 S Pro and I always loose them every few minutes turning them into a useless alternatives. And I am talking in spaces where they look each other directly in less than 200 ft.
That is odd. I’ve never had one drop on me.
Great video. I'm inspired a lot. Thank you so much and keep it up with the great contents and qualities.
Great video. Great delivery. Thanks
This is a great video for startups. Thanks
Tanks Mon! 2 music festivals w 3 cams and they went great!
Happy I found the video! Very useful
Great walkthrough! Thanks for taking the time to huck this together :)
Thank you, your video is going to be my guide in buying the equipment for my Live Stream equipment. Be blessed.
amazing insight. Thank you for this dude 👊
Glad it was helpful!
Jared, Thank you, always love your content. Would love to see a video on how to set up OBS with the live stream...
Great Video, Subscribed and learned a ton!
awesome video brotha !! thanks for the tips.
Excellent video mate.
Your colour grading is too nice!
this was very useful, thank you.
Thanks this video really helped me a lot.
Great information well done ❤
This video was very informative. Please consider producing more content on multicamera shoots.
Working on it.
Tips on OBS scene setups for livestreaming and tips on setting up the audio mixer or different audio mixing options for people. I know blackmagic has some amazing hardware, but maybe some people are using digital audio mixers such as the donationware voicemeeter banana or trying to do less costly productions as a start out.
Great video,learnt a lot 👌👌
I would recommend hard wiring with SDI am whenever possible 3G SDI is all you need and anything over 1080p is over kill for live streams. Another thing is having all your cameras being plugged in for power is almost always crucial.
I have USB power to a power bank always if I’m running a camera for longer than 30 minutes. I would run cables but in many situations it’s easier to go wireless and with no more than 50ft distance the latency is not noticeable.
Wow...thank you so much...!!! Most Professional..!!!
Regarding audio setup i have good experience with running the mixed audio through my camera no1. I plugin the xlr cables and use then the embedded audio in the hdmi signal from that camera. In the Atem i select audio only from that camera. This way i almost never had any issues with synchronicity.
Very helpful video❤
nice to see Zilr cables :)
Great video. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Bro, it’s obvious that videos about livestreaming are more in demand. I would like to hear how you output sound, what equipment you use. ❤
Amazing video
Sir this video has helped me tremendously in terms of choosing a switcher as well as battery backup equipment. Keep up the great work! One question I do have is what advice you have in regards to choosing a good data option for live-streaming in areas where in house Wi-Fi is not an option. I have been prone to using my cellphone hotspot, are there any portable routers/hotspot options you recommend. The best two networks in my are are AT&T and Verizon.
Excellent video
Thanks!
I like your PK1 Extreme mount
Thank you for sharing!
Ty for this info!!!
Great tutorial. Thank you. Of course there's a big spectrum here...but what do you typically charge for a 4-hour event? Or where could I find more about that?
Really great video. What internet router do you use for pushing out your livestream?
Insightful and impactful video. What is your honest opinion on Roland Aerocaster Wireless switcher (The mobile phones setup)?
Very nice video. I also wanted to use the motu for sound but I can't get it working. I use the Atem mini extreme iso with 3 Fuji cameras with Hdmi cables and electrical cables. Use also Companion and Streamdeck. I have an iPad to connect a PowerPoint to the Atem. Sound capture with Rode wireless Go2 into the camera. I film especially workshops and teaching courses.
I wish your video was made 3 years ago, then it would be perfect for me as a starting point. Well done!
Great video! Thank you for the time and effort you put into making this. Even though I live stream events in the community that I live in, I still find these videos helpful. Seeing how others make things happen...I learn sometime all the time. Question. I don't see a lot of content about what type of PC/laptops to use. When searching the web for live streaming laptops, I come up with laptops that are mostly for gamers. What type of laptop do you use and what would you recommend? I apologize if you've mentioned this before. Thanks again for the great video!
I'm planning more videos which will include this topic. I use my MacBook Pro M1.
Hello there, good question. I use a gaming laptop and it works just fine
Very cool. With one of my streaming setups I use a PC gaming laptop. I was curious if an laptop with an i3 or i5 chipset would work as well. @@jasonarthur2010
Thanks for your helpful video. I would be interested in watching a tutorial on where to place cameras for a two camera stream, three camera set up, etc. There are a lot of videos out there showing how to use switchers and OBS, but few on camera placement.
I plan to film a more detailed video soon.
Camera placement highly depends on the nature of whatever you want to capture. Here is one rule of thumb that I personally follow: at least one camera should be dedicated to the overall view, to place the viewer in a context; this is also the minimum setup. Then, if you have a second camera, you can place it more to the side and maybe nearer to the stage to provide some depth and perspective. Alternatively, you can use zoom lens on the second camera to emphasize an area where some important action is anticipated. If you have one more camera, you can place it in a way that allows to cover areas which are underrepresented by the second camera. Any extra cameras can be used as spot cameras; for example, if you're working with a band, you can set up a camera for a member who is not the main soloist, but is going to play a solo at some point, etc.
@@baroque_engineer Thank you!
Great video! My school may want to start live streaming and I knew absolutely nothing about it. I feel I can move forward know.
Steve
That’s great. Thanks!
My school approved my proposal for livestreaming and I have equipment on order. If this works out, I'll be upgrading next school year to wireless. @@ditchauto
thank you so much... can you please talk on camera settings for best output quality.
Thanks, I Will love to know more about the live streaming software (OBS) setup's
Excellent video. I am almost finished building my in-home broadcast studio from which I will continue to do my FM radio show. Once completed, I also plan to start a podcast with multiple guests. I love your setup but I will need more audio microphone inputs. I am considering the Rodecaster Pro 2 for audio and am considering going with the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro ISO for multi-camera switching. Just this week, though, I saw a video on the new Roland VRC-01 AeroCaster. What are your thoughts on the Roland VRC-01?
I don’t have any experience with it. I am going to expand out and try other platforms.
Great setup! We're using PTZ cameras and running SDI+Ethernet loomed, though I'm wondering about trying to add Wireless. Do you find that the wireless latency is noticeable between wired and wireless inputs? Do you delay the wired to sync up with the audio correctly?
Incredible video. The fact you covered so much in a short video deserves credit. One thing I’d like to know is if you use a service like ustream for simultaneous broadcasting to UA-cam and Facebook for example?
Usually not because I’m only streaming to one location but I may use a distribution service simply because it maintains a connection with the destination even if the connection drops on my end. Have had some issues there with an unstable internet connection.
Specific file name on obsproject is Multiple "RTMP outputs plugin 2020-05-17" I hope this is helpful.
Wow they seemed convenient.
That AndyCIne SSD caddy is so smart! 2tb of storage for ~$110 vs the equivalent angelbird being $800, no brainer!!
Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻🙏🏻

Hello! This was a really good video, it helped a lot! But I still have a question in my head. If I use a switcher, do I need capture cards for mí camera? Im sorry if its already mentioned somewhere... Thanks for the video btw.
Awesome tutorial. Same here as others regarding audio. Would you mind walking us through your audio setup in similar detail as the video?
I will do that very soon.
Hi Jared! Great video thank you! Question.. with most no camcorder cameras having a 30 minute record limit or overheating problems how do you adjust for a live stream? Thank you!
Thank you very much dude
Thanks for the video, Jared.
It’s nice to know it’s not alone to do the livestream service. I hope I can find this video 4 years ago so I can be less struggled lol.
Quick question, I found that it’s better to use ATEM mini as main video processing device instead of using OBS, due to the reason that OBS will be using graphics card of the PC broadcasting. (So I actually inputting my PPT slide source into atem mini and use the macros on the software control to make the scene.)
How do you think about it?
Really good stuff! You said you don't use the 1/8 inch on the Atem for your audio, how do you get the audio to your system for the livestream? Do you have any issues with syncing using separate audio and video sources?
I use a USB audio interface. The audio sync up really well. I would say it’s perfect but it’s really close.
Great, thank you. Can you tell, what kind of monitor/TV screen do you use in the background? Chris
It’s just a cheap HD display with HDMI.
Thanks for this. Two questions: 1) What's the range on your wireless transmitters? 2) How are you getting your Starlink signal (I'm assuming from outside the building) into your production area?
The furthest I’ve used them is across a basketball gym. They work anywhere in there.
Starlink I use the Ethernet adapter and run a cable to my laptop.
your vid is so helpfull Jared. i have one sony a7IV for livestream at my church. my question is ¿does your camera overheat with the axterna battery or not? becase i've heard that the a/iV overheats. thanks for your answer.
I haven’t had any overheating issues.
Thanks for this great video. Do you know of a way to preview one camera from the ATEM mini SDI PRO ISO while streaming from another and see the preview live in OBS on windows? My church is using OBS with the ATEM mini SDI PRO ISO. We’ve set up the preview through the black magic software but OBS only shows us the camera that’s live. I know we could use a second display, but it would be a much more elegant solution if we were able to see the other camera in the OBS preview window
I'm a one man band as well. Currently run 3 stationary cams on 2 track corners and straightaway and one I operate for following races. All connected through NDI. I have a small 15 channel Streamdeck switcher mounted on my tripod handles so that I can switch angles and scene replays without taking my hands off the cam. Works great. I am interested in wifi to put a couple cams on the far side of track but afraid of the latency shooting these fast cars. How well do you think those transmitters would be? I run OBS as well
It depends on the distance and any interference between. Most of my use cases have the cameras no more than 50 ft away and with direct line of sight.
❤❤❤ Very good Video The Hollyland Transmitter has any Delay?
Very little latency.
Just found your channel. Great tutorial Jerad. I have a dive business but are being asked for more and more handheld interviews, event recording, and live streams. I've passed on the Livestream business due to not having the setup, equipment, etc. Can you tell me, how much (ballpark) do you charge for an evert? I'm sure largely depends on how long, how many cameras, etc. Just trying to better understand ROI on equipment and man power needed to run a production. Thanks!! Best of luck to you in 23'
Good question
Hey Jared, thanks for your work, yes please can you make more in deep about live streaming.
My question is a about the gear, which Sony product would you recommend for recording about 1h long.
I’m wondering about this becase this products can easily overheat and we don’t want to go that way.
Big thanks!❤
I’m working on ideas for a next video. As for Sony, I have filmed 3 hour school concerts in a hot gym and had no issues.
Great video! Thank you for this video! Question: Yolobox ultra could substitute atem extreme iso??
Yes, absolutely
HI Jerad!
Just watched your Video and thank you for this!
But one Point confuses me:
Why you get more latency he longer the HDMI cable runs?
You recommend converting to SDI. That's basically the correct way. But as you converting something you'll get latency.
HDMI doesn't produces more latency the longer the cable is. HDMI was built for Consumers connecting DVD players with TV´s as example. There is no need for longer Cables than 15m.
The next thing you recommend is, "go Wireless"
Every wireless Connection, every Conversion adds latency. Much more than a longer HDMI Cable.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your setup. I have the atem mini pro iso so can't use the usb for camera input to the computer whilst also recording to ssd. Atem mini extreme has 2 usb ports. I think i will upgrade to the sdi version when i get the extreme. Any thoughts? I'll probably get 2 Hollyland kits as well. How many kits can you use simultaneously? Do you know? Also I plan on streaming directly from Pro Presenter. Have you tried streaming from that?
If I switch to different cameras or need to go wired more often I will get the SDI model. You can use as many Hollyland kits as there are available channels. I think they have 8 channels so that might be the limitation, but I'm not sure.
Can you please share the link to your live-streaming work video? I would like to see the quality of the Sony a7iv image live.
Great content!!
Question for ya… running your cams through the ATEM switcher, does that act as your “encoder” or “capture card” so to speak? Or does your live-streaming platform do that processing for you? Kinda new to this but needing to do it for work. I’ve got 2 Dslr cams and I’ll be using a zoom podtrak P8 for audio and have been looking at the cam link or legato HD 60 X for the cameras (a7r3 and a FX3) just don’t quite understand how you get that encoding done for 2 cameras on the same device.
I’m probably not explaining that well. Ha
Thanks in advance!
That's also what I would like to know.
If you use OBS / Laptop as the encoder it has to be quite powerful for a quality stream.
@@dhfkfloorball The ATEM Mini is an encoder itself, as well as a video switcher. It encodes everything and sends it out to whatever streaming destination you choose (UA-cam, Facebook, Twitch).
Thank you very much
You talked about plugin a backup to the atem mini in order to record the videos in case the live stops. Need more details about it, where to plug it? Etc...
Thanks for the great video. How do you simultaneously record to SSD and connect to the PC to use OBS?
The ATEM records to SSD. You simply plug into the device and it recognizes the drive. You hit record and it captures each channel of video and a full edit of everything you switched while recording.
@@ditchauto thanks for replying. But how do I use OBS if the USB connection is taken by the SSD?
I know its a level of complexity, but have you thought about having PTZ cameras as part of your rig instead? I was thinking Birddog PTZ cameras using NDI. Do you see positives and negatives in this? Being able to control them on an ipad makes it all more complex, but also more hands free.
I am waiting for the Obsbot Tail Air - cheaper than Birddog cameras. I have good experience with Obsbots tiny 4k for small conference set-ups (break-out rooms where a bigger setup would be too expensive). But having now an Obsbot with HDMI out, NDI (not sure if I use), much better remote control looks promising...
Thanks for the info you shared. I wanted to ask you how do you do to stream or record to the ssd (Is what I always do) in HD and record to the each camera in 4K. In the cameras should I press REC or I can do it through the ATEM?. Thanks! 🤙
If you have Blackmagic cameras, you can send the rec command from the ATEM, but with any other brand you're gonna have to press the rec button on each of the individual cameras.
Could you share a link to the stand that your ATEM & wireless receivers were mounted on?
please make a dedicated video of your Audio Setup, I understood everything else except the Audio, and also how do you feed your live stream into the in house projector
There will be more content coming on live streaming.
Hi Jerad, thank you very much for your many tips in this video. We regularly use ATEM for transmissions. However, soon we want to stream a larger event with 4 cameras - we use 4x the Sony camcorder AX 53. My question relates to the sound. The speakers will be spread out on stage and will use different microphones. How do we get the sound transmitted without latency and synchronously? So far we've been using a Steinberg UR 44C as a mixer and can go stereo into ATEM from there. Or do you see a better setup?
Sound transmitted into the recording or house and are you recording house audio from mix then problem solved.
Dont understand your question
If you are asking about the video to audio delay caused by the video stream latency, the simplest solution is to feed audio directly to one of the cameras, then extracted at the ATEM. The video latency will match the other cameras in the system and the audio stream will also have the same degree of latency because it is passing through the camera. There are other ways to digitally delay the audio an appropriate amount, but sending audio through a camera is the simplest.
Would you be able to recommend a portable live streaming setup?
What would you cut out and leave behind?
Laptop over PC?
Standalone mic or built in to the headset? (or the webcam?)
Please help!
Have you found a way of ISO recording and exporting out to OBS at the same time? I understand the hard drive takes up the slot you would normally use to connect to your computer.
I'd love to know this as well.
Yes me too.@@agimages-sports
There seem to be several versions of the Hollyland Mars
300
400
Which have you been using
Jerad, can you recommend some HIGH-QUALITY HDMI splitters? I bought 2 on Amazon and they got fried after 2 uses.
Can I ask what tripod you are using for the rig in the beginning of the video?
are you able to have a split screen showing two different camera angles at once?
Thanks for the video, could you possibly elaborate on using the XLR audio interface in conjunction with the Atem mixer? Is it as simple as selecting the interface as the audio channel on the stream? Does it ever drift out of sync from the video feed? thanks :)
I run it all through OBS and it stays in sync. I have used ATEM and audio interface over long Zoom calls and it also stays in sync.
@@ditchauto thanks so much for the response! much appreciated, I'm going to look into it now :)
I have a cooking show. I have been doing a couple of live streams. I am interested in getting an atem and then multi streaming across youtube and facebook if possible. Thank you for the video. Any thing else I should consider?
This was great information and I enjoyed the presentation. I did have a question that you stated that you used OBS from the Laptop instead of from the ATEM Mini Pro Extreme. Is there an advantage to doing that? I am using the Extreme presently within a more permanent environment. I have set up four Nikon Mirrorless cameras in the sound booth at the rear of a Church. The audio comes from a sound board and I use two inputs from computers. We Livestream the Church services and other events. I am always looking to improve my set-up. I started doing this during Covid like so may Churches did.
Sounds like a solid setup. I just use OBS because it’s easier to manage additional content and audio channels which I try to pull from the board as well. OBS also gives me another layer of security should there be an issue with the ATEM and I need to power cycle it. I also always have an Elgato USB stuck as a last resort should the ATEM completely fail me.
I also was wondering the same thing. Also, if your actual livestream, with overlays and videos, is going from OBS and not the ATEN, it doesn't really help to record the ATEM feed (it is still good for backup I guess)
have you ever had problems with obs picking up two cam links? do you use cam links? or mostly the wireless set up? could we see your OBS set up?? :D
I have used multiple cam links but most of my cameras can connect using USB now so I don’t really use cam links anymore. I try to limit overloading usb because it can cause a port to fail and the only way to get it back is to restart the computer.
Great stuff! how can i do this with a Mobile set up? Field/Director monitor?
I have someone that can help you out!
What is your take on using stream yard for events and setting up multiple cameras that way for live?
Please do a video on how to setup the wireless cameras and the connection to the atem
My bad! This video you did simplifies livestreaming a great deal
Do you use more internet sources? To have it more reliable for streams?
Are there any cheaper options to live stream wirelessly? Also any more options for power banks or battery systems that can power a camera for 6-8 hours
Thank you for the information. Ever seen a way to switch to and from your main camera hands free, on a multi-camera set up? Say maybe a foot peddle. Would like to set up the automatic camera switching but able to switch to and from the main camera without my hands as I will have my hands full.
Elgato Stream Deck has a pedal option for switching cameras hands free. Check out the reviews.
Of course, it’s one more thing to learn to master, so take your time to get it right.
@@GoodNewsJamaicaTV I’ll take a look! Thank you!
I’m looking to have a set up done like this, not for live streaming, but so someone can jump in, hit a button and screen capture and record on multiple cameras, that can later be edited. When the cameras are connected to the streaming deck, do you just tap record and all the cameras connected to it start to record at the same time?
The Sonys have to be manually toggled. Some of Black Magic's cameras can be fully controlled by the ATEM. I've considered switching my studio cameras.
