Frequently Asked Questions - Live Production

Hello Guys,

In my church, we've been streaming on YouTube for a few years now.

So far, the image for the visitors has been the same as in the livestream. Now, we want to use the ATEM EXTREME PRO ISO to create two outputs: one for the livestream and one for the visitors. We would also need the multiview, of course.

We have the following inputs available:

CAM 1; CAM 2; CAM 3; PC (1) for Picture; PC (2) for Background

For the livestream, we would like to be able to cut between CAM 1-3 and PC 1 as usual. We would also like to use PC 1 optionally as an upstream key to insert song lyrics over the camera image. Ideally, we would stream directly via Ethernet using the direct stream feature. But it can also be done via one of the Output 1-4, in which case we would continue using OBS.

For the visitors, we have a projector with a screen. Here, we would like to display images and song lyrics from PC 1. We would like to place the song lyrics in the center of the screen with a live background (maybe using the “Flying Key”?). For an image (16:9), PC 2 needs to be switchable without the upstream key. We would also like the option to display the livestream on the screen.

Would this be feasible with the “ATEM EXTREME PRO ISO,” and if so, how?

I would greatly appreciate your help.

I am not a big OBS user, but I use VMIX and NDI to do exactly what you are tiring to do, Use a pc to run the front and back projectors, we use Easy Worship. I use the VMIX NDI client to capture the screens from the Easy Worship machine, filter the words from the back screen and overlay them in the broadcast with a 1/3 black 50% background so you can see the white letters better. Use the VMIX device to capture the audio from the sound system and cams-1-10 and the front screen from the Easy Worship pc to show the slides for the message etc. You can create multiple outputs as well. One for in house TV's and One for broadcast. It is a bit tricky, but it works well. The audio side we use Roland mixers and the software to control the sound board from the broadcast computer, the sound guy runs the in-house audio and the VMIX person runs the MTX1 and MTX2 out mixes for the broadcast and in house. Hope that helps
