I am very new to video production. Currently I set up large boxing/UFC events with a lot of moving heads. The last event we got a few projectors and used the computer hdmi out and fed the projectors. It worked great. The question I have is can I use the output from this video switcher to a HDMI splitter and feed multiple projectors ? Or is something else needed? If so how or what is needed...Thanks
There is no colour correction on the channels, you are correct. It "just" switches the inputs and offers an encoding & streaming facility. See my prior video for the full functionality.
This could be one of the strangest video I've seen. You seem to highlight problems that you clearly found solutions to. Yes the phone on its own is limiting for any serious videographer so a rigging is necessary, but this rig is still very small considering what you get in terms of results. So I just don't get where the real problem is. And if the issue is how to rig your setup more effectively, then the cage manufacturers are the ons to build a cage that would accommodate a small hub, ssd, and power bank. Not a big problem at all. iPhone is still a pocketable powerhouse of a gear to take around. all the other accessories can be packed in a separate little carry on. This video was needless.
This is one of the strangest comments I've ever read. I clearly explain what the issues are in the video; how clumsy even a small rig is and how the components don't necessarily work well together. And yes of course the cage manufacturers need to build a better iphone rig. Or anyone else who can integrate the items better, quite frankly. This comment was needless.
I really enjoyed your content, and it was really useful. I was about to buy this, but after going through your explanation and the demonstration, I thought to rethink buying it instead of the Atem Mini Pro. Because I'm more concerned about my streaming quality, which is already at 51000 bitrate on RU-vid. and I also thought multi-RTMP would be more advanced in quality.
Ah - very important: see my video after this one in which I explained it was a misunderstanding between me and Osee (they were quoting megabyes per sec and I thought they were giving megabits).
That's annoying, I literally just imported the HDMI version from the US into the UK. The fanned SDI option would have been very useful, but I'm not going to buy another. Either way it's a fantastic piece of kit for the money.
@@TubeShooterMag Hello, is it possible to get it from your link to EU, too? (I am now eagerly waiting for the case version of this. if they add ISO recording, I would sell all my three other ATEMs :)
And next they are coming out with the case version of this and we get the 4th review! LOL David never use logic to explain what a tech company does! I got one for a friend but thanks for the point out the Macro switch workaround. The Companion software is a big deal.
Yes, the Companion software will be very useful to many (and as of today I see the latest firmware - which activates Companion - is now out of Beta and fully released!)
The unit needs to be operated in spec without the fan on. What happens when the fan invariably fails? E-waste, or will it work OK like the original version? Considering the original must/should have passed QC without active cooling, I can't imagine the SDI addition has pushed the heat past something acceptable?
The real killer to both ATEM and GoStream is anything from YoloLiv - lots of options, screen, multi-target stream, mobile network bonding, etc., and you don't need you computer at hand. The advantage of ATEM lies especially in ISO version, if you need to re-edit the stream for later publishing.
It's certainly arguable but the Yolo boxes have drawbacks: they are very expensive, have fewer inputs, don't have the tactility of physical buttons which a lot of folk, including me, prefer, and I have seen several user reports of glitches and bugs. Great in principle though.
Hey all! I recently got the deck and after successfully connecting my sony fx3 to the osee deck via an HDMI cable the first time around, now it doesn't register on the switcher. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if so, what's the solve was?
A single mic is not stereo. In fact even both mics together won't really give you stereo but "dual mono" ie two mono channels, one of which is recorded as the Left track in a stereo file and the other recorded as Right but in reality that's dual mono. Each mic is mono.
Ah, no you cannot make video level adjustments (brightness,contrast etc), they are however they come from the camera or other video source. You would need to adjust the exposure on the camera.
Thank you for your extremely indepth review. I really am not very technically minded whatsoever, and perhaps you could help - but I bought this set of microphones about two months ago and whenever I have tried to film a clip with a high speed piece of machinery (for example a food mixer or a sewing machine) whirring in the background it starts off sounding normally and then it ends up sounding like some sort of robotic sound and then fades right out, even without me speaking during the times the machines are operating. This is the same with the noise reduction switched on or off. Hollyland were not helpful at all - they said I should use a mobile phone for recording sound with the machine and use their microphone for recording voice (!!!!!). I heard you mention something about sound cards - do you think it could be something to do with what I'm plugging the receiver into....? It's being plugged into my laptop and I'm using a webcam to record the clips directly into the laptop (unfortunately the webcam doesn't have a facility to accept an external mic)
That's very peculiar. What software are you using to record on the computer? Is it one piece of software to record both the webcam video and the mic audio?
@@TubeShooterMag Yes both pieces are being recorded by Logitech. However I have since seen that the recording levels on the software were defaulted to maximum so I reduced this to minimum and I also turned down the mic to the minimum setting. That did make a difference - quite a big difference to the voice sounds and in my opinion it sounds much better (although still a bit “tinny”). I am yet to try it with a machine in the clip however I am hopeful it has fixed the problem somewhat. The tone in hood clip has a much more bassy pitch to it and that’s what I was looking for. Hollyland’s (rather unhelpful) suggestion was just to use the mic to record voice and to use the computer for the machinery….
@@TubeShooterMag Yes it's one piece of software (Logitech). However since I wrote that above I have played around with the settings and moved the mic volume to low and adjusted the mic slider setting on the software to low - it has made a huge difference to the tone of spoken voice so I am hopeful it makes a difference to the sound of the machinery. It does sound rather "tinny" though - it just needs a bit more of a bassy type pitch I feel. I guess I will need to keep trying. Or get a different laptop!
I got this thing about 3 weeks ago and have been fumbling through it ever since. I’ve searched RU-vid up and down for a video that just walks through how it works. I stumbled on this video through Reddit and it is exactly what I wanted!!! Thank you!! This is amazing.
Use an hdmi input as extended screen. Then u can full screen ur video on the switcher before u play. Or use pro presenter or keynote for cleaner output
Audio clicks and SSD stability might be related to static electricity. We ran into problems with it at dayjob when we tested iPads and iPhones with USB hubs for livestreaming. There is no good ways to ground the system and changes in static electricity from handling causes weird glitches and dropouts to signals.
