Here are the basics of using EasyWorship 7 with the Blackmagicdesign ATEM Television Studio mixer.
The APC is compatible with the ATEM Television Studio HD, Pro HD, Pro 4K, ATEM Production Studio 4K 1M/E & 2 M/E and ATEM Broadcast Studio 4K switchers. It is not compatible with ATEM Mini. ATEM Mini can be operated from the front panel, or you can control it using the included free ATEM Software Control for Mac or Windows. ATEM Software Control gives you even more control and creative options! You can switch video sources live, load the media pool with graphics, use transitions and keys, change switcher settings and mix audio. The ATEM Television Studio HD will output whatever video standard it is set to (ie 720p up to 1080p) via an SDI output. The Web Presenter down converts any signal to 720p. If we are understanding correctly, they want to send a higher resolution to the computer. Here are the basics of using EasyWorship 7 with the Blackmagicdesign ATEM Television Studio mixer. You will have to learn how to use the ATEM device in order to accomplish some of these tasks. Please consult the documentation for the ATEM studio as needed.

- You will have to learn how to use the ATEM device in order to accomplish some of these tasks. Please consult the documentation for the ATEM studio as needed.
- The ATEM Television Studio software is required to set up the ATEM.
- You will also need to understand how to change display settings in Windows and how to set up a theme in EasyWorship.
- You can find instructions for creating themes here.
- If you want to use Alpha Channel masking, you’ll need to connect two video outputs from the computer into the ATEM mixer.
We have a list of recommended video cards on the System Requirements page.
Please note that if you are using cameras, you’ll want to match the resolution of the cameras because the ATEM can only accept the same video resolution on all inputs. You cannot mix video resolutions on the ATEM mixer.
For example: If your camera is sending to the ATEM at 1920x1080, then you have to set your EasyWorship output to 1920x1080 and also the Alpha Channel output from EasyWorship if you're using that.

The Blackmagic Television Studio (TVS original version with heatsink) has a built in H264 encoder for the Program bus output. It provides this via the USB 2.0 port (Note: the new HD and HD Pro do not have this capability). The BMD H.264 Pro Recorder has the same capability and can be used with the software below.
Blackmagic Desktop Video utility can capture this but the file is very big and you have to wait until you stop and save the file before you can access it. If the software crashes then the content is lost. This solution also doesn’t allow streaming the content in real-time.
There is a good 3rd party product, MX Light http://mxlight.co.uk/ that many people use for streaming which you may want to evaluate.
MXPTiny is an open source solution worth considering. I have found this to be very reliable and it creates a file that can be read by other applications such as VLC or ffmpeg at the same time as it is being created.
This version https://github.com/FlsZen/MXPTiny/ was created in Dec 2015 from a fork of the original project created over 4 years. I have found this new version it to be reliable with the latest BMD drivers (ATEM 6.8 and Desktop Video 10.7 – must be installed on same computer as MXPTiny).
Update: Also works with DesktopVideo driver 10.9.5 and H.265 Pro Recorder (previous driver would not detect USB device).
