Hey guys I am thinking of getting an ATEM mini.. Has anyone here used ATEM mini with Qlab?

I understand that Atem Mini allows you up to 4 camera inputs.. My Question is, will Qlab recognise the ATEM mini as a single device? Can I get Qlab to trigger them as Camera 1,2,3,4 in Qlab instead of controlling them on the ATEM?

The reason I asked is, I currently run 3 separate Video Capture cards on a USB thunderbolt dock.. so Qlab recognises it as 3 individual camera sources.. but the problem is I think this is hogging up CPU % (anyone has experience in this?)

I hope I am making sense! thank you everyone !

Qlab will recognise the device as a camera but cannot directly control the ATEM mini. I’ve previously used bit focus companion as a bridge to switch my ATEM’s inputs via OSC from qlab (as the ATEM won’t accept OSC directly). Also http://www.atemosc.com/ does exist but I’ve never tried it

Atemosc works great as well with my atem. There's a good tutorial on the download page on how to make it work with qlab.

+1 for using AtemOsc. I’ve used it loads and it works an absolute treat. The atem needs to be connected via the network to be controlled,  but it can just be an Ethernet connection directly between the Mac and atem, you don’t need a router in between.

The newest version of atemosc allows you to control multiple atem’s too which is a great feature.
