If I understand correctly your input into wirecast is from the PGM of the ATEM. Usually this is a mixdown version of your final feed you are sending out.
Perhaps there are probably three ways in doing this.
1. If you have two capture cards in your computer you can use the AUX port on the ATEM to send a specific camera or feed to one of the capture cards. The second card's input will contain your PGM feed which is your PIP. In wirecast, you can set up two shots with one being card 1 and the other card 2. Here you can do an ISO or general recording of a clean feed for a specific shot. (thus the one without the PIP).
2. Alternatively, if you have another recorder such as the Hyperdeck Mini or Hyperdeck Studio, you can use the AUX output from the ATEM to send your camera feed without PIP to the recorder.
3. With two capture cards, similar setup as number 1, but set your PIP up in wirecast and not on the ATEM.
We use four BMD 4K2 cameras and each camera pass through their own Hyperdeck Studio Pro before entering the ATEM. Thus we have a clean recording of each camera, regardless if it was live or not. We also send an AUX feed to a fifth Hyperdeck Studio Pro to record the final programme. However, the final programme will not include lower thirds or any graphics generated in Wirecast. We have chosen not to record the wirecast final output as we require a clean final mix for post production. From previous experiences, wirecast gave us some issues when recording directly from the software.
Hope this helps.
