ATEM TV Studio with Livestream
Posted by James Archer on April 24, 2012 at 8:45 pmI’m planning on streaming an event for my work next week, and while I was doing my last minute tweaks today I found out something interesting that I don’t believe was common knowledge.
For background, I use Livestream for my CDN, and they recently certified the BM Intensity Shuttle USB, and H.264 Pro Recorder to work mobile with a Lenovo Thinkpad W520. Now, the shuttle has some intermittent dropped frames, but the H.264 Pro worked well. Figuring what the heck, I plugged in the ATEM TV Studio via USB 2.0 and it was recognized by the Livestream Procaster software and was able to stream and record to disk.
I don’t know if this was something I didn’t know, and was common knowledge, but I was psyched to find it out.

April 24, 2012 at 10:11 pmHey do you have any idea if this will work with the producer software as well?
I have a stream to do in a little over 12 hours, and it would be amazing to add in a couple of cameras attached to the TVS. -

April 25, 2012 at 1:55 amJames –
I am going to kiss you. I just put in a new ATEM TV Studio today, and we were talking about Livestream Procaster and this link –https://new.livestream.com/images/marketing/encoder/Procaster-Certified-Devices.pdf
and discussing which Blackmagic box to get for the laptop, so I could take the HD-SDI Program out of the ATEM into this secondary box – I had NO IDEA that the direct USB2 output would work with Procaster – I almost don’t believe you. Yes, I am going to try this.
THANK YOU – I love Creative Cow.

April 25, 2012 at 1:57 amI wish I could tell you, but I’ve only used the Procaster software. I would give it a shot, however, you’d probably want to make sure the audio went through the TV studio to keep it in sync.

April 25, 2012 at 11:51 amGreetings all
Has anyone tried this with a Mac (…book Pro or otherwise – mine i7 2.2ghz, 8gb RAM) either OSX or W7 via Bootcamp? On either side of the fence I get constant drop out with the message “capture card asynchronisation detected”.
Procaster runs uninterrupted with inbuilt Facetime camera so I can only assume it has something to do with the ATEM TVS. I expect I’ll install it on a straight desktop (AMD Phenom II X6 + 16gb x 1600Mhz RAM) to see if that makes a difference.
Will let you know but would appreciate any feedback in the meantime.
Tks

April 25, 2012 at 7:42 pmSomeone told me. If I use firmware 2.7 on TVS, Procaster should see TVS without Pro-recorder. But i did not test myself yet. Plan to test this weekend.

April 25, 2012 at 10:54 pmFurther to my original post, I too have now been advised that rolling back to 2,7 should also work. I am not sure, however, what versions gains will be lost in the process.
Feedback from Livestream (excellent tech support team) did advise that there appears to be a time stamping issue between latest version of ATEM S/C (3.0.1) and current version of Procaster (20.2.69) but winding back to 3.0 with their latest beta may resolve the issue as a forward step.
I will try both and let you know what I find.
Incidentally, I also had a minor Eureka moment in that running the Prog Output from the TVC into an H.264 Pro Recorder and using that as the input mechanism to your computer works a treat (with all current versions). Slightly redundant but it gets the result.
Cheers

April 26, 2012 at 6:43 amSo the implication is that the Built in H.264 in the TVS has a problem that is NOT present in the Standalone BMD H.264?

June 5, 2012 at 6:20 pmIs there any confirmation, that live streaming is working for ATEM TVS through “Livestream Procaster”.
I am interested in Ustream, but if Livestrem can support TVS, it will be a very good news…!Please respond if any one got it through….

August 7, 2012 at 8:40 amHello,
I have an OB Truck HD and i need to start to do live broadcast streaming.
Does the ATEM STUDIO TV work´s with livestream? It is possible to do live broadcast streaming with the ATEM STUDIO?
Do i need any other equipment? Does the h264 that the ATEM generate is enough for most live streaming consumers?
I have my OB truck equipped with the ATEM 1 , does it makes an h264 file compatible with livestream?
Thank you
