[Feature Request] HTML Overlay in ATEM Software
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:32 pmBeing able to use external graphics as a source in the ATEM software would be amazing.
Use: synced graphics/scoring data from a server and overlaying it as an Alpha (or Chroma)Key source. Controlled by a remote operator.
This one would be a little tricky to accomplish, but with the ATEM mini pro, there could be more communication with the computer via USB-C, where the data from the URL is brought in via the computer and sent to the keying engine in the switcher. The bandwidth should be low enough that both the internet connection and the USB-C connection should be fast enough.
Another possibility would be to accept the HTML stream on an ATEM Streaming Bridge, but this would only allow Chroma Key.
Maybe the way the photoshop plug-in loads into the media players is a way to implement this. Those graphics come across via ethernet, maybe if there can be 30 images sent per second as a live stream to a Media Pool slot. Who knows?
