Setting a streaming key
Because anyone can stream to any ATEM Streaming Bridge in the menu, it might be a good
idea to set a streaming key to stop anyone crashing into your video link! It’s so easy to select
any ATEM Streaming Bridge on your network, that it could become chaos of everyone
streaming over the top of everyone else.
This is not an issue as you can set a streaming key. This is a password that stops anyone from
accessing your ATEM Streaming Bridge. While running the ATEM Setup, you can see the
streaming key text entry field. Simply type in a password here, and then only ATEM Mini Pros
that have the same streaming key in their streaming settings will be allowed to connect to this
ATEM Streaming Bridge.
You can set a password of your choice, but there is also a password generator button in the
ATEM Setup so you can ask the computer to generate a good secure password. You can just
copy and paste this password to who you want to connect to you. Once they enter it into their
ATEM Mini Pro or Extreme switcher, only they will have permission to connect to this ATEM
Streaming Bridge.
Clicking the generate key button will automatically generate a password for your stream
Remote Administration
While we are suggesting you connect via USB to update settings in the ATEM Streaming Bridge,
you can also connect via Ethernet over your local network. However this can create a security
issue where someone could run the ATEM Setup and change the ATEM Streaming Bridge
settings. To increase security, there is a setting to disable remote administration via Ethernet so
you can only change the ATEM Streaming Bridge via a direct USB connection.
Disable remote configuration via Ethernet if you want to change settings via USB only
Internet Connection
The most exciting way to connect ATEM Streaming Bridge is via the Internet. This is a little more
tricky, because you have to make sure an ATEM Mini Pro or Extreme switcher can find the ATEM
Streaming Bridge, from anywhere in the world. It’s a big world, so there is a few more settings
you will need to update to make this work.
However because ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme switchers have a broadcast quality hardware
streaming engine built in, we can take advantage of this and get very good quality video links
worldwide. This allows you to set up a network of studios who can stream to each other.
