Hi Fallen.

ATEM offers a variety of protocols for control:

Depending on the Version of Axy you're running you might be able to use the HTTP Request or even dig a bit into Lua scripting to hack your way into the ATEM :-)

We're using Lua with a socket dll to control our BMD VideoHub...

Cheers.

Eric.

hi, thanks for reply, could you give me more information about that ?

i migrated stream deck and atem mini with companion app and installed VICREO Listener to use keyboard. the plan is assigning keyboard shortcuts on cameras and path and switched it with VICREO Listener and companion app with stream deck. its a little bit weired. the point is keyboard shortcuts not working at all. what should i do ? do you know easier way to do this?

i think aximmetry has a problem with stream deck and companion app

i assigned a Single key K and L in companion app for stream deck and it works in aximmetry search bar, but not work for cameras

@Fallen: Aximmetry works perfectly with Companion and we use it extensively in all our productions. You’re just not doing it right. You should use the Generic OSC module to control Aximmetry from Companion. Sending key presses using Vicreo will be very unreliable and is generally a bad idea. 

It’s unlikely that your idea of switching cameras on the Atem Mini and Aximmetry will get perfect results. That would require at least frame accurate switching on both devices which can’t be guaranteed. A better idea would be to use a Decklink 8K Pro card to send both cameras to Aximmetry and do the switching there instead.

@TwentyStudios

Thank you very much. But is it possible to use atem mini instead of decklink?

If yes is there wny tutorial for that?

The ATEM mini is a portable video switcher and not a capture card. It can only send one camera at a time over USB, so it won’t work in the scenario I described. It’s also not 4K, which the Decklink is. 4K will improve keying quality a lot, even if your final output is 1080p. 

@TwentyStudios

thanks. 

decklink 8k pro only receives two inputs at the same time and gives two outputs at the same time. With this interpretation, I can only use 2 cameras. What should I do to connect more cameras? For example, 3 cameras.

Hi Fallen,

Actually, the most professional way would be to use a multi-machine setup. Where you have a separate computer with a capture card for each output. Then Atem will switch between these outputs, and there is no need for communication between ATEM and Aximmetry. More on multi machine setup here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/multi-machine-environment/multi-machine-setup/

Otherwise, you might want to consider not using ATEM at all. You could have one output and 3 inputs in Aximmetry, and Aximmetry will switch between the inputs.
Or even make it so that ATEM sends Aximmetry the command to switch between inputs if you can put it together like Eric suggests.

Warmest regards,
