Black screen when using OBS with Atem mini

[applesandarrows]

I'm using I'm using an Atem mini with a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K connected to it. The Atem is running into my MacBook Pro 2016. I tried to stream directly to YouTube and it worked except that the video freezes and I get a lot of warnings that my connection is unstable. My MacBook is hardwired in and my download speed is around 240mbps and my upload is around 24mbps.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Atem software and I reduced the camera to regular HD. Then I downloaded OBS thinking it might be a lack of an encoder causing the issue. However, when I try to add my Atem as a source there are very little settings in OBS just the Device I want and resolution size (maybe that's normal for OBS on mac?). I'm running the latest version of OBS and my Atem has the latest firmware. When I select the Blackmagic #2 as the device I want to use as a source the audio is working but the OBS screen is blank. I'm not sure what to do about this?

I run on a MB Pro, but I run the camera at 720 max and I send it in via firewire/thunderbolt. I send the audio in via DAC usb. My experience is that if you try to feed everything via usb, the bus can't take it. Also if you use too high a video settting - black screen. But that's my experience.

Your system is already telling you your internet connection is unstable. A speed test is not the same as a constant live stream. Maybe you think 24Mbps is always there, but it's not.
