Hello Everyone. We wanted to post this information about setting up custom streaming services on the ATEM Mini Pro. As it was stated earlier, this is for advanced users with an understanding of how to edit and use XML files. There is a file called "Streaming.XML" that may be modified to change or add services in the ATEM Software Streaming menu. This file is located in the following places:
MacOS: /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/Switchers/Streaming.XML
Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Blackmagic Design\Blackmagic ATEM Switchers\ATEM Software Control\Streaming.XML
These locations are in protected areas of the OS requiring administrater prividleges. When editing this file make a backup of the original just in case something is not working correctly so you can go back. Also note that many of the text editors that come native with the OS may not accurately edit these files and leave hidden control characters causing the file to not read properly. I would not recommend using notepad, wordpad, textedit or any word processor for this purpose. There are plenty of free apps that work just fine.
An experienced XML user will be able to easily identify the fields and make the necessary changes. With this file, you can edit, add or remove the existing choices in the ATEM menu. The available fields for each "Service" include URL, Server, bit rate and key frame interval. You can create several bit rate choices like the current High, Medium or Low. The file provides for the ability to assign two bit rates for each selection. The lower bit rate applies to lower frame rates of 30 fps and less. The higher bit rates would apply to above 30 fps. Once the file is changed and saved, it is necessary to restart the ATEM software. It is not necessary to restart the ATEM Mini Pro. Once a service has been loaded into the ATEM Mini Pro, it will be retained through power cycles until a new service has been loaded.
