Confirming access to the internet
You will notice lower down there is a connection status field. The ATEM Streaming Bridge will
attempt to connect to the internet and let you know if everything looks like it's functioning
correctly. If it changes to connected, then this is a good sign, as it means the ATEM Streaming
Bridge has been able to set up your network equipment with the port forwarding settings and
connect to the internet ok.
NOTE
Opening up ports in your network for outside traffic could reduce your network
security so it is best to check with your internet provider or network administrator if you
have any security concerns.
If the connection status does not say visible worldwide you might need to configure the port
forwarding on your internet firewall manually. Not all firewalls support the protocol for
automatically setting up this kind of information, but they do all support setting it up manually.
You may need to contact your internet service provider if you cannot access the router controls
or do not know how to configure port forwarding. On larger networks it is best to speak to your
network administrator for setting up port forwarding as this will make sure there are no conflicts
on your network.
Connection Status
While setting up the network connection, the connection status feature can help you sort out
any problems. Some of the information it can show and the cause of the problem are
listed below.
Visible Worldwide
No Internet Access
Port Forwarding Error
UPnP error
Connecting to ATEM Mini Pro
The best way to think about the internet connection is to understand that out in the world
somewhere, an ATEM Mini Pro wants to connect to the ATEM Streaming Bridge you are
currently setting up. It could be anywhere in the world and so how do you make sure that
remote ATEM Mini Pro can connect to this ATEM Streaming Bridge?
It can be complex to try and explain network settings to a remote studio over the phone,
or in a message, so we have made this process very easy.
This is a good sign, and it means everything looks to be working correctly.
It means port forwarding is set up and working and ATEM Streaming
Bridge is ready to receive a video stream from the Internet.
This indicates the ATEM Streaming Bridge cannot connect to the internet.
You will need to check your network settings and internet connection.
This indicates that you could be connected to the internet, but the port
forwarding in your internet firewall was not able to be set up via the
ATEM Streaming Bridge, so it's not reachable from the internet. You will
need to ask your network administrator to set this up for you.
This weird error message also means ATEM Streaming Bridge is unable
to set up port forwarding on the internet router. You will need to ask your
network administrator to set this up for you or you will need to consult the
router's documentation to set up port forwarding.
