Hello There,
-> to experts on Atem Mini Pro concerning audio levels.

We have the Atem Mini Pro with Atem Software control 9.5.
Atem is with network IP and USB 'configuration control' activated.
USB is used for SSD Drive recording.
HDMI output goes to UHD monitor fr MLV
I control the ATEM with Macbook Pro 16'' m1 64Gb 32GCU (There's enough power) through network.

3 cameras sends audio and video through fiber HDMI. So three Fiber HDMI lines goes in HDMI inputs 1,2 and 3. They are with AFV activated in audio panel. They are able to transmit audio with Video without any frame lag difference. My 4th HDMI input takes my computer HDMI sending back any live calls from network.
All micros from journalists are lavalier micros going to the cameras. All audio is good and levels on each when active are good. Up to now, all is good.

BUT , when I switch CAM 1 to CAM 2, the audio from CAM 1 isn't 'live' anymore. So If someone is interrupting to speak, he isn't heard..

How do you make ALL audio inputs from AFV (Audio from Video) into on constant 'live' audio, so that when I switch camera, I still have everybody that can talk in one audio output ?

Many Thanks for solution or setting to adjust somewher..

Neil

Ok sorry for disturbing with stupid question.. just realized the 'on' button next to 'afv'..
All works fine now..

Thanks,
Best,

Hi.
You have misunderstood what AFV stands for, it´s not audio from video but instead audio follow video. So if you have that activated whenever you have camera 1 on air you will have the audio from camera 1 as well. If you change to camera 2 you will also replace the audio from camera 1 with the audio from camera 2.
Use the on button instead for the audio sources that you want to use for you broadcast and you doesn´t loose any audio when you change the cameras.

Ahh, that's what AFV was ... silly me.
Many Thanks for pointing that out
