🎬IMPORTANT🎬 Hello! 15 year veteran production sound mixer here. Just a heads up on the BNC cables for the timecode daisy chain. Make sure that you are using 50 ohm cables specifically for timecode and not 75 ohm cables for video or you may experience problems with drift. Love the build! Well done sir!🎉

This is not quite correct. Blackmagicdesign equips all of its devices with 75 ohm connectors. According to BMD customer service, 75 ohm cables work without any problems.

I'm not an AV expert, but in IT. I use rack systems every day so I was curious. This is the personal hacked together, form & function, perfect device for a common or personal use case, designed from operational experience in mind. It's a brilliant little unit. You managed to keep the price for rigging it up extremely cheap, especially when I compare to IT rack installs. I'm now inspired to rethink my home rack use, where experimenting is easy. I could probably make use of 4U interface at my Workstation desk. I enjoyed learning about AV production side. I'll be checking out your other builds. Thanks Shooter!

Caleb, It's hilarious you published this video just now. The last ATEM Case video you made, inspired me to create one for my church. We setup and tear down each week and I wanted a better and easier way to handle our live stream broadcast. Works perfect! And over the last 3 weeks I've been looking to upgrade our "Stream Kit" to a Rack Unit and fit a few more things in one case. Regarding your v2.0 of the rack, you may already have ventilation in mind, but I found these online which you might be interested in. "AC Infinity CLOUDPLATE T1 Quiet Rack Cooling Fan System (1 RU, Exhaust)" And there is an Intake version too, if you have the space. They seem quiet and effective for moving air in and out of the rack. I really like your 3D print and SSD solution! This is awesome and it has caused me to rethink a few aspects of my build. I may end up doing a similar thing. Question, how difficult would it be to modify the 3D SSD Holders to allow fro screws in the bottom? Like what if I only wanted to fill in half of a 1U with 2 bays.

@cepheus 7 ай бұрын

I have the AC Infinity Exhaust and while effective, it can get pretty loud beyond speed 3. However, it gives me a peace of mind that my rack won't overheat or lag.

I’ve been building custom solutions for my remote recording biz for decades. The D-type panels, the short jumpers, the scotchlok - all so familiar. I would recommend to your audience to use a larger case, both taller and deeper than the actual requirement as you mentioned. What you didn’t mention is heat. (my bad, you mentioned it at the end👏🏽) Remote work takes place wherever and whenever and an air-conditioned room would be the exception rather than the rule. It’s very easy to underestimate the heat buildup resulting from a packed solid rack full of devices which on their own have no problem at all. For your setup, a blank space above the recorders should suffice, so 5 rack space if available. Extra depth not only accommodates wiring but also heat overload. I generally add a minimum of 5” depth to handle both. Nicely done.

Cool build but I'm not clear on what problem this setup solves.Was there a particular situation you faced in your studio that drove this build? And what are the advantages of this setup - especially when compared to simply using an ATEM Mini with ISO to record the four cameras to a single SSD?

@neoswallow 7 ай бұрын

I was actually thinking the same. However, with ATEM Mini ISO series, you're limited to 1080p/60fps so if that's fine, I don't think you're bringing much value with this setup. However, if you want 4K source recording, there's nothing in this pricing range. ATEM TVS series starts at $4.6K for proper 4K support. @grahamkay4034 He's recording at ProRes 422 LT so clearly recording at higher quality wasn't his concern but you do have more quality options with HDS series.

@neoswallow 7 ай бұрын

@@grahamkay4034 So ProRes LT is like mid bit rate h.264. ATEM IOS does support up to h.264 70Mbs so it should be comparable to ProRes 422 or even HQ in terms of quality. Where ProRes excels is in editing mode speed as you don’t need to create proxy video.

@neoswallow 7 ай бұрын

I'll take back some here. I was thinking 70Mbps as 70MB/s. Yeah, 70Mbs h.264 should only match ProRes 422 LT in terms on quality.

@@CourtWatchAu Yes! It would be enough to simply record to the switcher and then try that USB switch trick to connect to the computer. What excites me about this setup, though, are the possibilities for editing the recording. It could be a backdoor solution to replacing Full HD footage with corresponding 4K footage using non-Blackmagic cameras (since the ATEM can only record up to Full HD). It would, in theory, mimic DaVinci’s click-of-a-button solution to replace the ATEM feeds with corresponding camera BRAW files while working in the ATEM-generated DaVinci file. It’d just require some extra work. I’ve never done it myself, so I’m researching to see if my hope is a reality!

This is a really cool build. We set up something very similar in our studio for 3 cam + final feed (although taking up a lot more space!). I'm curious as to why you went with the USB switching system rather than just accessing the hyperdecks via FTP? In our system I just installed seperate USBC NVME drives to each deck. A service on a PC somewhere on the network automatically backs the content of each hyperdeck up each night to a NAS for editing and further distribution. We can then clear the drives every couple of weeks or so when they're getting full. Another item that was really helpful was a video router. It allows us to expand the system really easily as we can just consider a device to have an in/out, and "put" it anywhere in the signal chain on the fly. For example, an audio to SDI converter can be switched between multiple decks, or we can add additional monitoring devices that can take their signal from any camera or deck.
