@aaronparecki Hey I was in your live stream today and I had the ?regarding using the usb out on the Atem mini to record and also stream to obs at the same time using the BM stream bridge. Just want to let u know I got it to work and I can share the info with u if u would like.
Excellent! What'd you end up using to record the stream then? -

The Atem mini Iso usb out with my sandisk 1TB SSD. The key is connecting the Ethernet cord from the Atem mini to the Ethernet port of the bridge and going hdmi out on the bridge to a capture card to PC. You have go "on air" on the Atem mini. Now you are recording and feeding obs
oh sure, that works. It's always a tradeoff of something though. You lose the multiview in that setup, and OBS is delayed by the streaming bridge delay. Should work fine going over the LAN instead of a direct ethernet connection too.

Yeah there is about a 1 sec delay in the feed going into obs.. hopefully by networking everything I can still get multi view along with everything else. BTW thank you for all you do by sharing your knowledge of Blackmagic products. You are the best bro
oh right I misspoke, multiview out of the ATEM is available, the only downside with this is the delay from the bridge. Crossing my fingers for a new ATEM Mini on Wednesday with two USB ports to solve this tho!

I wonder if @aaronpk would know what’s up
I’m assuming this is about audio being out of sync on the USB webcam output of the ATEM? My troubleshooting tips:
• Use a short USB-C cord direct from the ATEM to the computer
• Some slower CPUs just don’t work well
• Contact blackmagic support if all else fails -
It costs the haters so many keystrokes to hate. I wonder if they know it takes just a single keystroke for me to delete their comment 🤔

Appreciate the reply, Aaron.
- The USB-C cable I'm using is about a 1.5 ft and also a fast USB-C cable.
- I'm using a 2017 MacBook Pro w/ 3.1 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 and 16GB of RAM.
- I still need to test with OBS virtual cam and see if I can adjust within there.
Perfect, quad core should have no problem, tho I don’t have that MacBook myself. Try power cycling the ATEM and if it’s out of sync immediately it’s probably a bad unit. Sometimes after it’s been on for a few days that problem can show up and rebooting fixes it. -

I should also ask, is your audio coming from the camera or from the 1/8” jack on the ATEM? The camera’s HDMI feed will always be delayed, and you can tweak up to 8 frames of delay in the ATEM itself to compensate. -

Audio is via Rode Procaster into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 that does DIRECTLY into the MacBook Pro.
Audio does not go into the Atem Mini.
I can't power the Focusrite 2i2 without it being plugged directly into the MacBook Pro.
Tried that today ⤵️

aha, I would’t trust the computer to be able to bring the two in sync, it’ll be more reliable to run the audio into the ATEM, then you ensure the audio and video are in sync before they reach the computer. (In case it’s not clear, I don’t trust computers for anything realtime) -

I always power it off when not in use. I have a dedicated power bar that it's going into.
Why they didn't build a power switch in...?
I do think it was a mistake to not include a power button, likely because this is the first prosumer device they’ve made. All their other stuff is for commercial and broadcast use where the expectation is it’s on 24/7 -

I agree. But I can't do that with the Focusrite 2i2.
I would need to look at getting a new interface to go into the Atem.
What didn’t work about running the 2i2 line out into the ATEM Mini? That shouldn’t be a problem. -

The 2i2 doesn't have a standalone mode for power. It's dependent on the USB power to/from a computer.
I can't even run the existing cable into a power adapter. It HAS to go into a computer.
Focusrite did outline units that have standalone power: https://support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360006972619-Which-interfaces-can-I-use-in-standalone-mode-without-a-computer-
oh funny, but that shouldn’t matter, run the line outs into the ATEM anyway, or does it not even have a way to pass its input to the line output? I coulda sworn it did but it’s been a few years since I’ve used a Scarlett device -
Can we just, like, turn it off? https://twitter.com/emilyst/status/1361086453556518912

I tried that, even with the 2i2 plugged into the computer. The Atem didn't register or find it via the 1/4 to 1/8 cables.
I'm really beginning to think I have a bad Atem unit.
I'll be contacting Black Magic tomorrow. Maybe even an exchange with B&H.
That definitely should work. Did you double check the mic vs line setting in the ATEM config for that input? -

Oh yah. I've been working on this all day. I've tried all types of configurations. On. Off.
I actually caught some of your livestream today.
Next steps are to try OBS and do a delay through that.
At least I have a sync now with the Cam Link. Just wish I could use the USB-C.
well best of luck! Blackmagic support is very nice and happy to help with stuff too! -
