Hi all,
We're considering the ATEM Mini as a remote viewing solution as part of a WFH initiative.
Bear with me as I need to explain the situation a bit.
We've got a studio doing stop-motion photography, compiling the images eventually into video.
The owner/director of the studio lives far away and would like a way to see what her photographers are seeing.
In the studio, they run mostly Canon 5D Mk II's. They are connected to iMacs running Dragon Frame to capture images, eventually the images are pushed into After Effects and compiled into video, then uploaded to an onsite NAS, and mirrored offsite.
The idea right now is roughly:
1. Run wireless HDMI transmitters out of each computer. There can be up to 4x computers capturing 4x separate scenes at any given time.
2. On the receiver end, run into an ATEM Mini.
3. Output from the ATEM Mini into a dedicated streaming rig, where we'll have to have a capture card and OBS. Stream out.
4. Have a dedicated site-to-site VPN running to the owner/director's offsite location.
This means that the owner/director can control which camera she's looking at through the ATEM software.
And she would do the looking by going to the OBS live stream URL.
I was hoping the ATEM would let me bypass step #3, however it doesn't seem like that's the case.
So:
Question 1: is it possible to bypass step #3 above?
Question 2: if not, assuming we are getting a 1080p image, what kind of specs would be needed for a dedicated rig to stream out at 1080p at say, 30fps?
