iPad Better Than 1K Camcorder?

[pjrake]

We use the Canon Vixia G5 camcorder to live stream our volleyball games. We also use a static 9th gen iPad as a second camera. The Canon signal flow is HDMI out to ATEM Mini and the iPad is running via NDI.

For some reason the iPad is smoother than the camcorder. The camcorder tends to be choppy. We're running at 720p (30FPS), and cap the stream at 2500.

For the life of me I can't figure out why. I'm tempted to run the next game using the iPad as the main camera!

Is that ATEM mini plugged into a USB2 port? or are you having USB Root Hub (ie the chipset) contention? or a cheap USB hub ?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm us the USB C out port of the ATEM into the iMac USB C port in. I will look into what a USB Root Hub is and if that can be the cause. Thanks!
