For anyone following this thread, I got a StreamDeck and am using Companion to run macros. Since this switch, my whole system has become majorly unstable. The screen blacked out on me yesterday at the end of a paid live stream, I've had occasions where I could not get audio to work until I had restarted the whole system three times, the StreamDeck works when it wants to work and I have had audio issues.
I'm still trying to chase down the source of the issues (it may not be related to StreamDeck/Companion) but I can confirm that Companion often has a hard time connecting to my ATEM and, even when it does, it frequently just stops working in the in the middle of a stream. Stability is everything to me so the StreamDeck is not a positive in my book.
It would be super nice is there were a way to run macros with keyboard shortcuts instead of hunting down a virtual button in the middle of a stream.
Again, I can't say for sure what the issue is at the moment, but if you're considering making this change, consider me a -1 vote.
