I used it recently in a Mac mini running wirecast. Worked like an absolute charm!!!

Thanks Craig. It’s 90% US travel and 10% international. I’ll post something on the jobs section. Cheers!

Thanks for the reply Chris. I heard back from one of your colleagues yesterday. I mentioned that I tried good feeds in both and switched the SDI/HDMI settings and nothing.

I am looking into getting it serviced but for now I actually need to keep it since we’re streaming the World Series of Poker and I have it working with the 5 cameras right now.

Thanks,

Randy

Kymo,

That’s pretty much it. If you’re looking at hardware we have a Mac mini running the Atem software so we actually have another monitor but you could use a laptop.

We also have 2 BMD HDMI to SDI converters since the Atem TVS only has 4 HDMI slots and 4 SDI slots (but you can only use 6 total).

The PC actually has 2 Intensity Pro card so we’re considering buying another Atem TVS switcher to bring our operation to 12 cameras total.

Here’s a quick update on our solution. We did proceed with the purchase of an Atem TVS to enable us to go up to 6 cameras. (I ran into problems with a bad port but that’s a separate thread I posted). What we are doing for the live streaming portion is we’re taking the HDMI out from the switcher and going into another box that has a BMD Intensity Pro card in it. With the use of Wirecast we are then live streaming to the internet.

All in all, the switcher has been good but having to buy additional audio hardware was a bummer but money well spent in the scope of setting up a professional rig.

We’re live streaming tables from the World Series of Poker. We’re offering a “fly on the wall” type of video so the players aren’t miked up and we’ve found that the audio we get from the overhead camera is adequate for our needs.

Bob I’m using lavs and mics but those are being fed to my switchboard and plugged into my streaming PC that’s running Wirecast Pro. Ideally I would have liked a cheap solution but I think my other option right now is to put a DA in from of the Atem and plug that into my BMD Intensity Pro card on my streaming machine. I can get the embedded audio from that feed for my stream.

Jeff thank you very much for the feedback. I also purchased a BMD HDMI to SDI converter to give me the flexibility to go up to 5 cameras if I’d like. Are you suggesting that I can take the AES audio out of that converter so I at least have 1 audio source? I only really need the audio from one of the cameras, the others are mounted and further away from the audio source.

And if that’s possible, do I simply use a SDI out and connect it to the TVS BNC connection or do I need additional hardware?

Thanks,

Randy

HI Jeffrey,

Thanks for the feeback. To give you a glimpse right now we’re running 2 camcorders off HDMI into the BDM intensity pro cards. From there we’re using Wirecast to stream to Veetle.com in 720p.

And no, we do not record.

In a perfect world, I would be able to run 4 cards in one box.

Thanks,

Randy
