Hi guys,

My ATEM Production Studio 4K (bought new a couple of months ago) isn't connecting via the ethernet port.
The Mac Pro's ATEM Software Control cannot see the switcher by ethernet connection. The ATEM setup utility sees the switcher via USB connection and apparently an assigned IP address.

The NEW Blackmagic ATEM Mini allows you to create professional multi-cam productions and live streams in minutes. In this video I explain what the ATEM Mini. The ATEM Mini is a great option, though I tend to avoid recommending it unless you are looking for multicam. Most people just want a dongle to turn a camera into a webcam without worry. The ATEM is a bit more advanced than that though for better streams it is an absolute no brainer at the price.

When I check Networking in Mac, I see the ethernet has a self-assigned address (169.254.58.35). This isn't the address that pops up in the Setup Utility when I connect the USB cable (starting with 192.*.*.*). I'm not a networking expert, but I'm also not a novice.
It seems something's up with the ethernet in the switcher. The switcher outputs video without any problems via SDI and HDMI. But it's pretty much a paperweight now.
This happened after we left the switcher on for several days at a time, for the first time. We usually turn it off after each production, since we produce only 1-2 days per month and since we've been having some cooling issues in the control room (83-84 degrees).
Already tried:
-Updating firmware
-Downgrading firmware (per BMD staff advice on Black Magic forum)
-Swapping network cables
-Swapping network ports on the Mac Pro
-Rebooting MacPro more than once
-Rebooting switcher (waited with switcher off for more than two weeks for the most recent reboot)
-Connecting to another Mac (same issue)
Everything worked marvelously, before this.

This guide shows you how to setup OBS Studio for Live Streaming to Facebook Live. You will use a computer, Web Presenter, and an ATEM.

This is the first in a series of Church Technology How-To Guides. It has been prepared to assist people using a portable streaming kit I built for The Salvation Army. Rather than distributing these instructions as a PDF, I’m publishing the information here. There are many different ways to live stream, but this is how I recommend people approach simple live streaming situations.

UPDATE March 2020: If you are looking for a more general discussion around live streaming options for your church, please read my new article.

Preparation – Software Installation

Before you begin, you need to download and install two free software applications:

These applications are both regularly updated, so make sure you update your software before the event.

Setup Instructions – Connections

Place your ATEM, Web Presenter, and Computer on a table in close proximity to each other, and make the following connections:

Web Presenter USB, to Computer USB
ATEM USB, to Computer USB
PGM Output on the ATEM (SDI/BNC), to the SDI Input on the Web Presenter
ATEM HDMI Multi-View Output, to HDMI Input on small monitor
ATEM Ethernet connection to a LAN port on your router
Ethernet port on your Computer to a LAN port on the router
LAN port on the wall, to Internet/WAN port on the router

Setup Instructions – Connecting to the ATEM

In this step, we’ll connect the laptop to the ATEM switcher and check/change some connection settings.

Make sure your computer is connected to the router via Ethernet
Turn off any WiFi Connection
Find your computer’s local IP address and take note
Open the ATEM Setup software on your PC
If your ATEM needs updating, you will be prompted to do so now
1. DO NOT power off your Computer or ATEM while performing this step, or you can break the switcher
2. Please make sure you have the latest version of the software, otherwise you will downgrade the ATEM switcher
If the computer is successfully connected to the ATEM via USB, you will see the IP Address settings
1. If the Router and ATEM have already been configured properly, the first three segments of the IP address will exactly match your computer’s IP address found in Step 3
2. Take note of the ATEM’s IP Address
Close ATEM Setup
Open ATEM Software Control
Enter the IP Address of the ATEM you found in Step 6b
You will now be connected to your ATEM

Setup Instructions – Configuring the ATEM

In this step, we’ll check and change some format settings in your ATEM switcher.

In ATEM Software Control, click the cog wheel in the bottom left of the screen
In the General Tab, set the Resolution to “1080i50”
In the Labels Tab, type in the names of each of your video inputs
Save your settings
In the File menu, press “Save Startup State”

You will need to make sure your cameras are set to 1080i50 mode, or you will receive no video input.

Setup Instructions – ATEM Audio

In the ATEM Control software, go to the “Audio” tab
Turn all Audio Inputs off
Turn on the External Audio Input
Set the External Audio input to 0dB (unity)
1. This is roughly equivalent to putting the fader around 1/4 from the top of the range
Speak into a microphone, turn up the channel on your Audio Console, and test the External Audio meters move in the ATEM software

Setup Instructions – Configuring OBS Settings

In this section, we’ll configure all the settings in OBS.

Open the “Preferences” menu
