Using Midas/Behringer M32 X32 as AFV with ATEM

Does anyone have any experience in setting up a Midas/Behringer M32/X32 board as a AFV (Audio-Follows-Video) using ATEM?

I am attempting to setup an external mixer to follow the video switcher. Attempts to connect and sync the mixing console and the BlackMagic system have not been successful. I have followed the BlackMagic ATEM user manual (P172) and have set the mixer to use "Mackie Control".

The configuration is as follows:
<Midas M32>
-- USB --
<Apple MacBook Pro iOS Sierra 10.8 running ATEM (v7.0.3)>
-- TCPIP --
Black Magic Production Studio 4K

All possible configurations from the audio console have been tried:
-- using the BM instructions to use a USB cable from the audio console to the computer
-- using a network TCP/IP connection between the console and computer
-- using the MIDI in-outs of the audio console to a MIDI-USB adaptor on the computer.

Using the MIDI 'only' interface from the mixer to the computer, I can see MIDI messages being sent from both the mixer and the ATEM software ... but the two don't talk to each other.

Any thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated.

Ian Morrish is the guy you need.. His powershell is able to control the X32 mixer and also runs the Atem lib..

I have done it with X-air, presume same OSC is available.
Using Windows PowerShell. Don't have the code on me as I'm traveling but you can find info on https://ianmorrish.wordpress.com/2017/0 ... using-osc/ and I'll put working code on github shortly

You have an example of a an ATEM script using MIDI.

Under the PowerShellMidi.dll, how did you get the "DeviceID" for the mixer?
I would think I need a different value for the X32?

Puzzled..

Here is a script I use to list the midi device ID strings. I do have a scipt somewhere that just uses the first midi device found which works well if you only have one device connected. I'm trying to find that at the moment.

# change this path to match the location of the DLL on your machine
add-type -path 'C:\Users\imorrish\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\midi\PeteBrown.PowerShellMidi.dll'}

Import-Module "C:\Users\imorrish\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\PeteBrown.PowerShellMidi.dll"

function listinputs(){
Write-Host " "
Write-Host "MIDI Input Devices ========================= " -ForegroundColor Cyan

$inputDevices = Get-MidiInputDeviceInformation
foreach ($device in $inputDevices)
{
Write-Host " "
Write-Host " Name: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host $device.Name -ForegroundColor Red
Write-Host " ID: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host $device.Id -ForegroundColor Red
Write-Host " IsDefault: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host $device.IsDefault -ForegroundColor Red
Write-Host " IsEnabled: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host $device.IsEnabled -ForegroundColor Red
}
}

function listoutputs(){
Write-Host " "
Write-Host "MIDI Output Devices ========================= " -ForegroundColor Cyan


$outputDevices = Get-MidiOutputDeviceInformation
foreach ($device in $outputDevices)
{
Write-Host " "
Write-Host " Name: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host $device.Name -ForegroundColor Red
Write-Host " ID: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host $device.Id -ForegroundColor Red
Write-Host " IsDefault: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host $device.IsDefault -ForegroundColor Red
Write-Host " IsEnabled: " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor DarkGray; Write-Host $device.IsEnabled -ForegroundColor Red
}
}

listinputs

It must works without scripts .. Atem Control Surface application can be controlled by Mackie Control compatible device ..
