[ANSWERED] Black Magic ATEM Mini

jfg

I have one and it works perfect with Isadora.

Oooh and signal conversion per channel!

Additionally, Isadora's new NDI Out and NDI Watcher Plugins means you could conceivably use this + NDI to send the feed to other computers using Isadora (or another software that can receive NDI) too.

Thank you for all your answers. In France, it seems to be available in stock on several online video shops... ( don't know if I can write the names here... )

I would be interested to know if you have found a way to switch inputs from within Isadora. I currently use a Kramer switcher which I can control via TCP/IP, but the signal conversion capability of the ATEM Mini would be super useful.

Thanks

Yes but unfortunately not so simple: You must use OSC > OSCulator (Key combo) > Keyboard Hot Keys from the ATEM software Control.

Isadora>BM-ATEM mini.zip

I don't know actually how to get a feedback from the interface to Isadora. I am working on an Isadora interface but I need more time before I can publish it, if I am successful.

Mac OS users can try this :

Some other solutions exist under windows, but not as simple as mac's atemOSC

Ah, I will have to search them out, being a Windows kind of person...

Thank you!

@jfg

Thank you! Unfortunately I am working in Windows, so don't have access to Osculator or other useful tools.
Of course I didn't think through the fact that ATEM is a well established protocol, and people have already done a lot of work on interfacing with that. Unless you're on PC like me!

jfg

no, sorry I am on mac.

For other mac user: I have just try atemOSC Version 3.0.0 and it crash with Mojave. I haven't Catalina so I cannot try if it works better. I downloaded 2.5.6 and it works well but I have to use following form for the OSC-addresse: /atem/program/1 instead of /atem/program 1 . The second one doesn't work.

I will test further but only next week.

I just wanted to say that I am now successfully controlling my ATEM Mini PRO from Isadora on Windows.

I used the BMD Switcher MIDI Mapper in conjunction with loopMIDI (to create a virtual MIDI port) and it all works fine, allowing me to switch cameras (the main objective) but also to control fades between cameras, fade to black etc etc.

Any questions, please ask.

@mark_m I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to see how you were getting along with this setup after several months of using it? I have been researching this myself as of late for my windows PC and wishing there was a windows version of atemOSC to get Isadora to reliably control my atem 4K production switcher. Have you been happy with it? How has stability been? MIDI sometimes seems to crash my atem control software and/or lockup my switcher when using my nanoKontrol to control scenes in Isadora. Have you found any other alternatives since?

Thank you and any others for chiming in on their experiences
