I LOVE our Constellation so far, only had it for a couple of weeks now. I have found what works the best for us is to use ME1 for the projector feed since we keep our cameras up in the room for a large majority of our services, then we use ME2 for the stream. Only because ME1 has the option to use the PGM feed of ME2 not the other way around. I tried routing an output back into an input to reverse it but it caused a small but very noticeable delay in the room. It's SO nice to be able to have a tighter shot up on the screens in the room when on the stream we may be hanging on a wider room shot a little longer. We have the Constellation and the ATEM Surface Control panel as well. This upgrade has been a game changer!

Yes, I completely agree with your setup. We ended up getting a 4 M/E to handle the number of outputs we needed with respect to ISO recording (to a ATEM SDI Extreme ISO), computers, projectors, announcement feed and talkback for our cameras. We needed one more than the 2 M/E. :-( It's amazing that one device does it all. We also use the stream decks to control everything and really, we're still wrapping our head around the sheer number of possibilities we've got. I'd love to see how you're handling the different layouts for your lyrics to the various feeds. We've done it several different ways on our campus, and still aren't 100% happy that we've chosen the right method, yet. We use different looks to go to different screens, and they are split out from the same PP7 instance over a decklink card to the switcher, with one view going to the projectors and the other going for key/fill to the livestream. I'm just curious to see how others are doing it.

So much more flexible this way. During Covid-time we ended up with an ATEM Mini Extreme for our overflow area, and a base-model ATEM Mini for the main screen at the front. And a whole bunch of HDMI splitters. It actually works nicely (using Companion, with that in turn being triggered a lot of the time by MIDI signals from Proclaim). But a 2 M/E switcher would be a whole lot nicer next time everything gets reworked.

We've been using our Aux outputs to do the same thing with our screens on our 1M/E system.

Can somebody help us with our church setting if we are going to use the Atem 2M/E constellation? We have two Mac Mini's (one for pro-presenter and one for live stream). We will be using the Stream Deck as well for control. Two (2) cameras also to capture live. My question is how can we connect all of these and produce video output for Stage (confidence monitor), one (1) projector for congregation lyrics with moving background (center stage), and two (2) projectors at the side, showing live feed with lower-thirds lyrics. I think we need a drawing of the cable routing for this solution. If you have one, this is truly appreciated. Thank you.

@schwob6609 Жыл бұрын

Yes you could, but you don’t have the advantages of other transitions than a cut or individual key or DVE settings.

@CarlAustinGregory Жыл бұрын

It’s not an independent mix effect. Basically, you can’t have an aux out look too different because using the aux replicates the ME 1 rather than doing something independent. For example, a wide shot of the room works for online, but that doesn’t make sense for in person. They already have a wide view.

@ElijahAnderson1112 Жыл бұрын

So I think it all comes down to the needs of the church. For example, for a couple of our campuses, we will run full screen graphics in house, and since ProPresenter is already sending a Full GFX output to our ATEM, simply assigning the Aux output that feeds our screens our Full GFX works. We still send an alpha keyed feed with lower thirds to our switcher and do all of our online switching with the 1/ME. Obviously not every church needs or should use IMAG as it can be real awkward in certain spaces. I think what this video doesn’t explain well is the concept of different shots with a 2/me switcher. If you aren’t needing different camera views in house, and just full screen graphics, which frankly it appears this video demonstrates, a 2/ME switcher is almost overkill. Don’t get me wrong, there is a time and place! Our larger campus just ordered a new 2/ME Constellation because we run IMAG in house and send the feed online, and we want some more flexibility in what is seen for audiences.
