Show ATEM mini pro ISO sources in OBS

PostSun May 15, 2022 8:28 am

Hi all,

Is there any way to show all the sources that comes in the ATEM mini pro ISO into the OBS studio's multiview ? Like cam 1, 2, 3 & 4 in OBS and still be able to switch the sources using the ATEM ?

Thx !

Not directly, no. If you are using the USB-C webcam output from the ATEM Mini, it only carries the program video signal (and there's no way to change this).

The ATEM Mini Pro does have a built-in hardware multiviewer, but it is only available on the ATEM Mini HDMI output.

So if you wanted to, you could take this HDMI multiview output send it into another video capture device (such as a UltraStudio Recorder 3G) into the computer, which would let you use the ATEM multiview output as an input source in OBS Studio. Then if you were to also send the USB-C webcam output (which contains the program video signal) into the computer, you could use Studio Mode in OBS to see the multiview and the program video at the same time. And then you could still stream the USB-C program video through OBS with this setup.

If you did this, you would still be using the ATEM Mini multiviewer (and all the multiview customization would be through the ATEM software) rather than through OBS. The only way to use the OBS multiviewer would be to send all of the video inputs as separate sources into the computer running OBS. Which would require multiple video capture devices (or a multi-channel capture device like the DeckLink Duo or Quad cards).

I don't think this will ever happen. The ATEMs are hardware switchers and are meant to be used like that. If you want to use OBS as your switcher, you're better off getting a DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder and doing everything in software. With a setup like the one you't thinking of, you would combine the shortcomings of a hardware switcher with the shortcomings of a software switcher.

I am doing something like this. I have the HDMI output of the ATEM mini Pro going to an HDMI->USB converter, into the PC. I have a scene with one source, which is that USB input. Right click the scene name and select "Windowed Projector (Scene)". That gives me a stand-alone window on my machine with the full multiview display. I did this so I didn't have to add yet another monitor to my work area. Other scenes can then be created that use the USB input from the ATEM and thus get the fully switched input.
