- the smartphone is connected by wifi to my box;
- I broadcast via OBS with the smartphone connected in the same way 5g on my laptop.
I really can't understand where the problem comes from.
tnx
I have a question that I haven't been able to sort out: what do I do if the USB C port on the ATEM doesn't recognize my iPhone? Your popped right up in the ATEM software, but my ATEM doesn't recognize my phone. I'm using an iPhone SE, with a Belkin lightning-to-USB C cable. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
EDIT: I figured it out! You have to have your Personal Hotspot enabled for the ATEM to recognize that it's a streaming option.
BACKGROUND: We stream our worship services live. I currently use an ATEM Mini Extreme, connected to PC via USB. PC is hardwire connect to network switch. We use four blackmagic cameras, three are hardwired to ATEM and one is connected via Hollyland wireless transmitter. For Tally for the wireless cam, we just bought a CUEBI wireless tally - but I realized that in order to connect to ATEM, both the cuebi and the PC have to be connected to my router (which for streaming purposes, I do not want to connect PC to router). We do not stream directly from ATEM. We use Livestream Studio.
QUESTION: The cuebi connects via wifi. Here's the kicker - even with PC connected to network switch, cuebi cannot communicate with ATEM, even though atem is connected via ethernet to router, as well as cuebi connected via wifi to said router. May be a long shot question but here goes - Is there a work around in order to maintain my hardwire connection to my network switch, using THAT connection to live stream, but somehow to get the cuebi to connect to ATEM without use of a router?
but great explanation
I'm planning on getting an ATEM Mini PRO or ISO. Still feeling a little bit hesitant on streaming form the ATEM instead of my computer. Been too attached to OBS Studio for a while.
I really want to make a more professional live content and perhaps using ATEM might get me there. Also wrapping my head on how to still implement OBS if streaming from ATEM.
Btw, in your experience is there any benefit streaming from ATEM Mini vs. PC? Network efficiency, bitrate and reliability wise?
I also didn't realize that the ATEM had that capability at this point (how did I miss that?).
Also, fun fact, when you have two devices on the same Layer 2 network segment (i.e., where network traffic it not having to traverse a route processor / firewall) you technically don't actually need a gateway at all.
The only time you actually need to specify a gateway is when you need a route "out" of the network you are in. An example would be pulling up a website on your computer. Chances are that website isn't hosted from a system on your local network subnet, there gateway's job is to provide you that route out of that network so your request can eventually get out to the right place, hoping through routers on the internet until it reaches the right network.
So from a pure networking standpoint, you could leave the gateway on both devices - the ATEM and the computer - completely blank and you'd be able to talk.
All of that said, it would be interesting to see if the ATEM software would let you save without entering a gateway. It's possible that they make the gateway field required, which would be silly / lazy of them to do that when you don't need it configured to communicate with hosts on the same network subnet. Would be an interesting test to see!
