User Manual

Even though a lot of the ATEM Streaming Bridge setup has been designed to be easy and
the setups as automatically as possible, such as the port forwarding settings on your internet
firewall, the Internet equipment can be horribly complex and it’s often so complex it’s possible
the equipment used on your Internet connection might not have been designed by humans.
So don’t feel too bad if you cannot make this work! You might need a network administrator or
IT person to help if you cannot make it work by yourself.
Broadcast Video Reference
The ATEM Streaming Bridge has both an analog tri-sync and black burst video reference input
as well as an SDI input that can be used for reference. Reference is used by large broadcasters
who need all the video connections in their facility to be aligned so they can be switched
around a large system. There is referencing timing settings in the ATEM Setup.
Factory Reset
If you have become a little lost and you want to reset the ATEM Streaming Bridge back to
its default factory settings, then you can select the ‘factory reset’ button in the ATEM Setup
software. This can be useful if you have been using ATEM Streaming Bridge for an internet link
and you now want to move it to a new setup using your local network. Just factory reset it and it
will be set back to DHCP and you can just connect and find it on your local network.
Click the reset button to restore ATEM Streaming Bridge
to DHCP so it can be found on your network automatically
Setting up Open Broadcaster
Even though the ATEM SDI switcher can stream directly using an Ethernet connection, if you
want to stream using an external computer then you can connect the USB-C and it will appear
as a webcam on your computer. This then lets you use streaming software such as Open
Broadcaster for streaming.
This section shows how to use Open Broadcaster to stream via the USB-C webcam output.
Open Broadcaster is an open source application that works as a streaming platform between
your ATEM SDI and your favorite streaming software like YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live,
Vimeo Live and others. Open Broadcaster compresses your video to a bit rate that is easily
managed by your streaming app.
Below is a demonstration of how to set up Open Broadcaster to stream the webcam output
from your switcher using YouTube as the streaming application.
