Do you have an ATEM Mini and wish you had the extra cash to upgrade to an ATEM Mini Extreme? This video is for you.
I am not compensated for anything in this video, I bought this out of my own pocket because it does what I need it to do.
This is my upgrade from an ATEM Mini Pro here at my home to an Osee GoStream Deck.
At the same time I was able to pull my left over and unsellable original ATEM Mini video switcher and put it back to work.
Together the Osee GoStream Deck and the ATEM Mini give me everything we are currently using our ATEM Mini Extreme for in our church for less than half the price. (GoStream Deck - $295 and ATEM Mini used are less than $200, compared to the base ATEM Mini Extreme at $995) my upgrade was 1/3rd the cost since I had the ATEM Mini already.
While trying out different items for our church live streaming setup, I bought and did a lot of the trial work at home before we spent the money for the church setup. In doing so I developed my home studio to the point I was ready to do a video podcast. With the primary piece of equipment other than my computer being an ATEM Mini Pro I discovered that it would not be enough to do what I wanted to do.
What I wanted to do but could not with the ATEM Mini Pro -
1. Interview a guest live via Zoom or such, using the ATEM Mini Pro USB-C as the webcam input and simultaneously record the interview on a USB drive
2. Eventually do this while livestreaming with only 1 laptop.
3. Include 2 people on 2 different cameras or me and the Zoom participant at the same time in the live discussion using Super Source
4. Confirm that the recording includes good audio by listening using a headset.
5. Have a monitor showing the Multiview as well as a monitor showing the program view.
All of the above can and is being done for our church by using the ATEM Mini Extreme and 2 laptops and it works very well for that.
With the Osee GoStream Deck video switcher, I can do all of that and I don’t get all the extras that make the Extreme so expensive. The only thing I had to overcome was that the Osee GoStream Deck can not handle the 4K input from the Obsbot Tiny 4k like the Atem Mini could. So with my old and unsellable ATEM Mini in line I can now use the webcam I already had, as well as gaining the ability to switch between me or my guest as the face in the Picture in Picture mode so that I can have either one up while discussing what is on the screen. I will do another video showing that trick soon and using the super source.
Even though this is about my home studio, this setup would have been the better choice for our church had it been available. The ATEM Mini Extreme is an amazing machine so we will not get rid of it anytime soon, but this is definiteIy much more budget friendly and could use the PTZ cameras we presently use in church without needing the extra switcher as shown.
Hope you have fun and find this video useful.

Great work

@christmerrill 3 месяца назад

Thank you I have learned a lot from your videos. Especially using this tech in small spaces and small churches on a budget.

Hmm... audio delay, black lines over the screen. Looks like BM will be better, but missing 2 usbc and hdmi.

@christmerrill 3 месяца назад

I noticed the black lines too, which are coming from the camcorder only as far as I can tell. I was not seeing the audio delay except when using the iPhone view or GoPro. I will have to pay closer attention to that. But the BM Atem Mini had the same problem when it first came out and firmware upgrades fixed that by giving you the ability to sync audio and video. The GoStream has that same capability but I was running a lot of different inputs so will have to watch that in the future. Second, Unless I get the Mini Extreme I can't use my current Mini Pro as a webcam in a zoom call at the same time I am recording. That is the primary reason I went to the Osee GoStream deck. And I save $700 I can use somewhere else. Like I said we will keep our Mini Extreme at church, it is awesome, but I couldn't afford it at this time.

I am very intrigued by this setup. Can you record the stream via the ATEMMini Pro while seeing the multi view on the Osee?

@christmerrill 2 месяца назад

You would be able to record only what was going through the ATEM mini pro the way I am setup. My ATEM is being used as the #1 input into the GoStream Deck. But you can record everything that you are getting in the program view on the Deck to the built in SD card, while using the USB-C slots as a webcam which you could not do with the ATEM Mini Pro. There is also software control with the latest firmware and software update. That is a super upgrade that now allows me to control both the GoStream Deck and the ATEM Mini via their own software controls instead of the menu.

Thank you for responding. I am looking at this setup as a possible solution for churches that have asked me to assist with live-streaming a special event. I already had the ATEM Mini Pro so I wanted to find a way to still use it along with the Gostream. If it is not too much to ask, would you share again how the ATEM and Gostream are connected, please? Do you have the HDMI out from the Atem going into input 1 of the Gosee? Also, how are you bringing in your computer? Thanks so much for your help.

@christmerrill 2 месяца назад

Yes I am using the HDMI out as a program out not multiview. This then is going into the camera 1 input on the Gostream deck. But unless you have 4k cameras I would not even use the ATEM. And with the new upgraded software the OSEE is even more a low cost version of the ATEM Mini Extreme. If you use 1080p cameras, you are better off just using the Gostream. You can livestream with it using wired network or your cell phone using it as a tehter off the USB-C, it has 2 HDMI outs, so you can use one for Multiview and the other for Program view if you want. In our church we that program view runs to the cry room. Osee now gives you software control just like the ATEMs, so what you have for a lot less is Supersource, although not as much as the Extreme, 2 HDMI outs, 2 audio inputs and 2 USB-C ports, as well as a headset monitor port. You also now have more audio mixing control. And all of this for 1/3 the price of the ATEM Mini Extreme. WE will keep our extreme at our church it is super nice but if you are thinking of upgrading to the extreme and aren't using all the supersource capabilities, or wanting to use 4K camera inputs then the GoStream may be for you. Especially now after the 2.0 firmware upgrade and control software. But, it is not as well supported if you think you will need support from the manufacturer.

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?

@christmerrill 2 месяца назад

My guess is that the first time you connected the FX3 you were in 1080p mode and after that you may have been in 4K. the GoStream deck has to have everything in 1080 which is why I am using the ATEM Mini with the 4K Obsbot mini webcam since the ATEM is very easy going with inputs and accepts whatever you throw at it but converts to 1080P output which the Gostream deck likes. Also go to this Facebook group where all the Osee Gostream deck smart guys hangout. facebook.com/groups/oseegostreamdeck/
