Includes Talkback

Driver

Realtime two way communication with your cameras!

ATEM Television Studio HD features built in talkback that takes advantage of rarely used SDI channels 15 and 16 to send talkback audio to and from the camera. There's also headset connections on the front panel for talking to and listening from cameras that support SDI talkback. The talkback from the camera is embedded in the SDI video feed from the camera to the switcher. If you connect the talkback SDI outputs of the switcher back to the camera, then the director’s talkback audio is sent to the cameras along with tally and camera control. The 4 SDI outputs feature talkback to cameras with mix minus. This lets you send program audio back to an interviewee so they hear everything except themselves, and won’t be distracted by hearing a delayed audio echo.

Titles and Graphics

Add professional titles and graphics in seconds!

ATEM Television Studio HD can store up to 20 of your own custom graphics or logos and get them on air in seconds! Simply upload the files from the media management page of the software control panel into the ATEM’s media pool, then select any file to play through the 2 built in Media Players when you need them. The media players use flash memory, so your graphics are saved after the power is turned off! There’s even an included Photoshop plug-in that lets you upload graphics from Photoshop directly into the ATEM media pool from a computer over an ethernet network. Now you can get custom titles and graphics on air in seconds!

Real Time Keyers

Use green screens and mix graphics with live video!

ATEM Television Studio HD includes an upstream keyer with full chroma keying for green screen and blue screen shots. That means you can remove the screen and add weather maps, graphics, and incredible virtual sets behind the on-screen talent! The upstream keyer works with chroma, patterns, shapes, and linear keys. You also get 2 downstream keyers for adding graphics, logos and bugs to your video. You can even install a HyperDeck Studio Mini in the rack right next to your ATEM Television Studio HD and use it as a source for ProRes 4:4:4:4 motion graphics files with alpha channels that you can key over your live video in real time!

Compatible with all formats up to 1080p60!

ATEM Television Studio HD features professional 3G-SDI connections that are multi-rate and support SD SDI, HD-SDI and 3G-SDI video formats. That means you can work with any professional camera or deck in all formats ranging from NTSC/PAL up to 720p, 1080i and even 1080p up to 60 frames per second!

You can mix your camera audio together with audio from other HDMI sources like computers and gaming consoles, along with the audio from the analog XLR inputs.

Aux SDI Output

Feed big screens and video projectors on stage!

ATEM Television Studio HD has an independent auxiliary output that’s perfect for feeding big video screens on stage, or can also be used to send 'clean feeds' without on air graphics to recorders for program mastering. The front panel aux button makes it easy to select exactly what you want to send to the aux output. Auxiliary outputs can be selected to any video input, media players, the preview bus, test signals and more! Aux outputs are also fantastic for technical monitoring, such as when you are doing camera control, because it can be set to automatically switch to the camera you are adjusting.

Software Control Panel

You get a full visual switcher control panel and parameter palettes for making quick switcher adjustments, loading graphics into the media pool, mixing audio, remote controlling and color correcting cameras, updating switcher settings and more! For the ultimate in portability, you can run it off of your laptop computer! Plus, for more complex events, you can have multiple users running it on multiple laptops.

Customize Your Perfect Studio

Modular Teranex Mini based design is smaller and more portable!

ATEM Television Studio HD fits in ⅔ of a rack width so you can mix and match additional equipment in a smaller space! For example, you could rack mount ATEM Television Studio HD and use the free space to add a HyperDeck Studio Mini as a master recorder all in a single rack unit. You could even add Teranex Mini converters to convert additional sources between SDI and HDMI. Combine it with the Blackmagic SmartView 4K for an ideal multi view monitor, and even add a Blackmagic Duplicator 4K that lets you simultaneously record your program to 25 SD cards at the same time, so you can sell them to customers at the end of the event!

Extreme Reliability

24/7 mission critical reliability!

Live production situations demand the highest reliability. That’s why ATEM Television Studio HD uses an internal aviation quality operating system that’s designed for real time processing and high reliability. This reliability, combined with the miniaturized design, gives you a much better solution than a cumbersome PC based switcher with cables and plug in cards hanging out everywhere. ATEM Television Studio HD is like getting 10 different devices, all in a single, reliable and portable design!

This guide shows you how to setup OBS Studio for Live Streaming to Facebook Live. You will use a computer, Web Presenter, and an ATEM.

This is the first in a series of Church Technology How-To Guides. It has been prepared to assist people using a portable streaming kit I built for The Salvation Army. Rather than distributing these instructions as a PDF, I’m publishing the information here. There are many different ways to live stream, but this is how I recommend people approach simple live streaming situations.

UPDATE March 2020: If you are looking for a more general discussion around live streaming options for your church, please read my new article.

Monitoring your Live Stream

While you are live streaming, you will want to keep an eye on some things:

Atem Television Studio Livestream

  • Audio Levels
    • Keep your audio as loud as possible, without clipping
    • Don’t be afraid to use the built-in compression on the desk
    • Use your ears to verify you’re not clipping (on the stream) and not over-compressing
  • Dropped Frames
    • Dropped Frames (bottom toolbar in OBS) will show you if your CPU and/or Internet Connection aren’t keeping up
    • If you drop too many frames, the stream will disconnect
    • It is a good idea to test the connection ahead of time, paying particular attention to the dropped frames
  • Bitrate
    • Your bitrate should always remain in the ballpark of your specified bitrate (1024Kbps or 4096Kbps)
    • If your bitrate drops, you may have issues with your CPU and/or network
  • CPU
    • Ideally, your CPU should remain under 50%
    • If your CPU runs consistently high, you may experience over-heating or dropped frames

If you run into performance issues during your event, first try lowering the bitrate.
