A Simple & Affordable Streaming Setup. This is all you really need!

Ready to setup a real livestream setup for your church, venue, local government, or school? Let me walk you through a simple setup that will do all you need and won’t cost a fortune. I recommend two PTZ cameras, a PTZ controller, and an ATEM Mini to switch between them.

We use the Atem Mini Pro with two PTZ Cameras with Restrem. Works great. Now I realise that I need the controller. Thanks for the video.

I'd get the Atem Mini Pro instead of the cheaper Atem Mini since it can also stream and record to USB disk at the same time, replacing the need for a laptop, which is what we do at our church.

It’s a very good video, you explain everything well and I wish that your channel had existed when I started out. You just have to stop refering to converters for long HDMI cable runs, fiber optic cables are just cheaper and so much more conveniant.

Pretty good tutorial, as far as it goes. But you omitted one very important thing: a way to preview the camera image before you switch it into program view. In fact, if you're streaming directly from the ATEM mini, you need some kind of multiview monitor to see either of the cameras.

a cheaper approach than ATEM and a Control Keyboard would be a stream deck and then use OBS with NDI. You can use the streamdeck for a

Thanks! I really appreciate this. I scored the ATEM Mini Pro for $295 which is coming today. They must have had a price reduction. I am going to go with the FoMaKo NDI and either one of your camera controller options. I have to do this out of my own pocket for or church so I have to do this a frugally as I can.

The Fomoko is NOT a 20x zoom. It is limited to 10X optical zoom.

Question... If you are using an ATEM mini, which only supports 1080p, what is the point of spending the money on a 4K camera? You would have to actually step up to the ATEM Television Studio 4K8 (spending $4500) in order to actually take advantage and stream in 4K... Otherwise you are limited to streaming in 1080p only.

7:15 If you're using NDI, that flicking on and off happens with the connection speed to the NDI source cannot keep up with the bitrate being sent. Even if you have the right hardware, there are any number of reasons the speed is limited or choked.

I've found that doing compositing is a bit clunky with the OBS and even more so with the ATEM upstream/downstream keyer (don't bother). A copy of Resolume Avenue is an awesome realtime compositing engine which you can easily pipe into your ATEM (as though the ATEM is a second monitor) or send resolume output to second display and tell OBS to use that display as a source if you're using OBS. It's not cheap but it's super easy and will save you time and hassel. Clients can be super impressed with your overlay/lower-thirds "god mode".

Good information but not so affordable but it is actually worth the price

Thanks very clear video on setup. Im new to this whole system and I’m joining the media at my local church as tech support to figure out our system. The person who set it up is no longer with us and didn’t show anyone how it all works. We have a similar setup but we have 1 camera, an ATEM, a breakaway box, a Mac mini, 2 desk monitors, 1 confidence monitor, two congregation screens, and a monitor for the overflow room. So after watching this video I have a better understanding of what everything does in this simple system but our system has the breakaway box and additional monitors so I’m trying to figure out how everything works together. It’s all wired up but occasionally something goes wrong bc a plug is pulled and no one’s knows how it’s all supposed to work so we have to try and figure out how what happened which takes a long time. I know this is a lot but if you could show a similar set up I think it would help me a lot.

I join your channel because your SMATV reviews.

Nice video:) Like alot of Chinese video controllers, this one is rebranded in different Brands: €330- Minrray KBD2000 PTZ controller €775- RGBlink PTZ Camera Control €740- FoMaKo PTZ Controller PoE NDI €330- Alibaba . idk if there is a difference in loaded software, but i gues not. Safe a buck and buy the €330- :)

Update your Atem Mini firmware to the latest. i had the same flickering in my monitor, once I updated it's gone

Is there a PTZ camera that we can control and stream from an app on an ipad (like the mevo is so easy to just connects and stream. Easy for anyone to operate. But we'd like to be able to zoom.) We have no PA booth at our church so I want to be able to operate the stream from an ipad in my pew.

[Iknowthetruth]

Thought you said “affordable”… $2100 on one camera is not affordable for so many of us…

[toastae]

If your PTZs are placed around a large room, you'll need sdi-hdmi cross converters x 2 per camera this gets expensive and maybe nearly worth the sdi version. Anyone recommend any cheap and reliable cross converters other than the BM ones.
Or has anyone amy other ideas? As in can the camera feeds run over ethernet to a hub at ops and from there be converted to HDMI to go to the switcher?

How to setup this same camera on a MacBook Pro?

[garyclement]

Great instruction. Always looking for good information about this kind of work. Great job.
