Connect your ASUS laptop to the ATEM via USB, and run the network config again. It should say it’s the same as when you set it up via the Mac. Click OK.

Disconnect USB. Make sure the ATEM and ASUS are on the same network, and that they are not somehow assigned the same IP address. Start the panel software, and it should find the ATEM automatically.

According to their site, 2 channels of audio.

I can understand why someone would think that, but if you read their site carefully, it merely says that if you have that particular chipset, you need to update it.

Don’t get me wrong, I do wish they would have a better compatibility list. I did a blind buy on the Intensity Shuttle, knowing I didn’t have the Reneas/NEC chipset, and thankfully it worked out for me.

Rob, you are correct.

Peter, thanks for your response.

Yes, we have found a work-around like you said for the lack of servo zoom:

And since our current cameras are SD only (480i), shooting in 30p would give us the same results as I currently get. After a couple of years of practice shooting football with our cameras, I’ve learned not to pan too fast, and try to anticipate how the play is unfolding.

I guess I should have also noted that we don’t air these games live or stream them, I edit the footage for highlights for the coach’s show that we produce.

I’d be interested in finding a lens that does have the other two features you noted. The only other feature that would be great is auto-iris, but I can manually control that if need be.

Thanks again for your comments, and any other insight would be appreciated.

Jerel, maybe there is something wrong with the Shuttle itself.

Also, do you have a desktop that you can try putting a USB3.0 card in? Try one that isn’t based on the Reneas chipset. I know a lot of folks think you have to use a Renease chipset based controller, but that isn’t true in the least.

I’ve got to admit, it’s very odd that Ustream works for component, but MediaExpress doesn’t.

And regarding HDMI, is that coming directly from your camera, or some HDCP device?

[Mike Squires]

Just thought of something, how do folks get remote zoom functions on any of these EF mount lenses?

When I’m shooting sports, I can’t have my hand on the lens in order to zoom in or out. $40k for a Canon Cinema lens is out of the question.

We’re looking at upgrading our ENG SD cameras (and field camera), and this is what we primarily shoot:

2-man @ desk in front of green screen for sports show
Some local commercial productions
College football (shot from the media booth)

Would this camera with this lens work:

We currently use JVC ENG cameras with Fuji glass (18x), which seems to work just fine for all of our shooting.

Many thanks!

I don’t know why everyone thinks you have to have a Reneas/NEC chip. I have a Fresco chipset for USB 3.0, and it works just fine after updating the drivers.

BMD never said you have to have a Reneas/NEC chipset, they merely mentioned that if you do have that chipset, to update the firmware and drivers.

The version of Fresco I have actually was tested by someone else about 7 months ago, and they couldn’t get it to work at all. I’m using the drivers that were released this past December, and like I said, it works perfectly.

The reason we end up with a 4-frame delay is because our video isn’t feeding directly from the cameras into the TVS. In our studio, the cameras go into our Echolab switcher, then into a DPS, and finally into the TVS. The audio just comes straight out of our mixer into the TVS.
