Creating Video Links with ATEM
Streaming Bridge
The ATEM Streaming Bridge allows you to decode the streaming video from any Web Presenter
and convert it back to SDI or HDMI video. It allows you to send video over your local network,
or to anywhere in the world via the internet.
If your ATEM Streaming Bridge is connected to the same local network as your Web Presenter,
it will be listed in the 'platform' menu on the live stream tab in Web Presenter Setup.
Otherwise, you can load a streaming setting XML file on a USB drive connected to the
Web Presenter or via your computer using Web Presenter Setup.
A good example of how Blackmagic Web Presenter can work with ATEM Streaming Bridge is
transmitting a weather report to a studio from a remote location. All you need for transmission
from location is a Web Presenter and an internet connection, which could be your smartphone
or by connecting to a network.
Back at the studio, the ATEM Streaming Bridge takes the internet feed and converts it to SDI
so it can be connected to the main switcher at the studio.
The workflow setup for this example would be:
1
On location, the Blackmagic Web Presenter is connected to the Program SDI output on the
switcher. For example an ATEM Constellation 8K.
2
Blackmagic Web Presenter is then connected to a Smartphone.
3
Back at the studio, ATEM Streaming Bridge is also connected to the internet via Ethernet.
4
The ATEM Streaming Bridge then sends the converted SDI video feed from the internet to
the studio switcher's SDI input for the main news broadcast.
For your studio to connect ATEM Streaming Bridge to the Web Presenter's internet feed, you
will need to launch the ATEM Setup utility and configure the internet settings. This includes
generating an XML file containing all the streaming settings which are then loaded into the
Web Presenter on location.
