Control OBS Output (Video)

[ESDAC]

I'm a relative newb when it comes to OBS. I've gotten on FB Live with USB capture card and currently, trying to utilized OBS with an ATEM Mini. My particular issues is this:

I would like to utilized the features of OBS while livestreaming our church's services through a Teradek Vidiu device. We've only ever had one camera, so it wasn't an issues. Now, we have 3 cameras and a computer input (for PowerPoint/Videos), but I can't seem to figure out how to create the connection between OBS and the input of the Vidiu streaming device.

In summary:

I'm trying to run edited (switched) video out from OBS directly to my livestream box (Teradek Vidiu) so that I can see the 'lower thirds' and other media I'm utilizing within OBS
OR
I'm trying to run video output from the ATEM Mini that is seeing the OBS plugins (lower thirds at this point).

[I recognize that I could use OBS for streaming directly to our Restream.io account (bypassing the Teradek Vidiu box), but I'd prefer not to use the laptop for that purpose.]

Thank you for any links or help you can give for this.

I couldn't find any sources for help on this, so I've just determined to use the built-in streaming option in OBS as that seemed to be the way it prefers. Issue solved... (sort of).

Does the Teradek Vidiu box injest NDI Inputs? If yes, then you could easily setup OBS to output to NDI, then inject the OBS NDI Output as an NDI Input in your Teradek Vidiu box.

Alternatively, you can send OBS Output into your ATEM Mini as a Camera Source "Now, we have 3 cameras and a computer input (for PowerPoint/Videos)," I see this is already used up, you could run your powerpoint and video via OBS then send it as the 4th input to your ATEM Mini.

Thanks for the reply. That is something I'd have to check, but I really doubt it as this particular Teradek Vidiu is "unsupported" anymore, so they've stopped doing updates to firmware and such. I'd guess it was purchased in 2013-14. I do have a workaround to broadcast from OBS (tested and works for video) if I can just get the audio working in OBS now (started a new thread for that one)... HA! If it isn't one thing, it's another... Welcome to the real world of technology, huh?.
