Good luck to my eagled eyed viewers! I've hidden some codes in this video for your to get Speedify for free! Full details are in the description. Good luck 😉 Also I would love your feedback on this type of video, both good or bad! So please let me know below ⬇️
Hey Alex. I think that if I wasn't doing what I am doing, I would probably be doing what you are doing. Thanks for bringing out the tech geek in me. Lol. You are a blessing to a lot of people.
Yeah give it a go! I basically had a spare Pi and now since installing Speedify on it, I pretty much have it running daily! It’s saved me more times than I can count… and not just for streaming
I was in a similar postion but went for the Terradeck Go Unit. DON'T! It is basically a piece of junk, needs about 3 restarts to even start working and is very unreliable. This looks like a much better option.
Hi Alex - thanks for a really great video - have you come across any products for bonding adsl/4g/another source (say Starlink) where the bonding is carried out by a stand alone hardware ‘appliance’ which doesn’t require a VPN subscription? What I’m looking to do is combine low latency from adsl with throughout from Starlink with 4g for additional redundancy - would be great to hear any suggestions :)
What about bounding 2-3-4 LTE 4G connections via USB dongle or router wire/wireless? I think it is better option for low coverage locations, about important stream - what about using the remote connection to machine located in fibre Ethernet connection?
Yo Alex. Great video. I been researching.. can I build a Pi with 2x ethernet connections & use one for the web & one to share the bonded connection to the ATEM.. trying to remove weak points like adapters etc..
What a super polished and pro production!!!! sorry about the noob question, umm, other than small form factor what other advantages exist for using the pi please? Thanks heaps in advance
Very informative video! Just ordered the pi and will try this out. 1 thing thou, can you connect the bonded network via ethernet to a router? or, is it giving dhcp so that i can connect to a switch? thanks in advance
Hey Alex this is cool. Do you know if it is possible to bond 2 or 3 cellular devices and stream staight from the USB cellular connection on ATEM without LAN or WIFI available?
Hey Alex, Great video! Thanks for all the info. Got a question. So after setting up the Pi, speedify, and the eth1 connection to be used for sending the signal. Could I just send the eth1 signal into a router as the main internet connection and then get that redundant connection on all my devices, including the Atem, and still be able to control my Atems through Companion and Streamdecks?
0:14 Right when you unplugged that connection my playback quality suddenly went pixel city. I thought it was a joke. Ironically, the only joke was my domestic internet connection. Bonded internet you say...
DO we need to run sudo service speedify-sharing restart command everytime ? Can we automate it to run automatically to bring out bonded internet via eth1
In the Atem Software it only allows you to switch between devices during setup and I don't think it has redundancy or swaps over automatically like this does.
Hey Alex, good question! In all my testing with the ATEM it is not a seemless switchover… I’ve noticed it take anywhere between 3-10 seconds to realise that my Ethernet has been disconnected and then switch over to 4G. So your viewers would experience a dropout. But with Speedify that’s not the case. Hope this helps :)
I tested it on the BM HD Webcaster, was seamless & watched several videos showing it working on the ATEM & BM pitch it as a feature BUT on the ATEM looks like you can't HDD rec & phone tether at the same time via the USB (even with a hub).. sounds like you have to choose one or the other, so there's a trade off.. also.. via BM would only have 2x fail overs.. a bonded could have 2,3,4 etc..
How are you controlling the Raspberry Pi from the laptop (also copy and pasting from laptop to Pi)? Also in the UK (specifically Scotland) the mobile network coverage is shockingly low (like less than 1mbs upload) so should I use the "Speed" option instead of the "Redundancy" option (as I won't be able to stream effectively with those speeds anyway)?
Great info as always, Alex. Wondering if this same setup could be done with a MacBook or Ubuntu Linux laptop instead of a Raspberry Pi. If so, could you also then use the ATEM controller simultaneously through the ethernet connection? I'm new to using the ATEM, so please forgive any noob questions here. Thanks!
I use a MacBook and if you install Speedify on it, and then share it to the atem vía ethernet (you'll need a hub) then both are gonna be on the same network.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been searching for a more reliable way to maintain my stream. But would this work using the ATEM as just a web cam like on Zoom or another meeting platform?
Thank you for this. Can I use usb's internet source connected to the raspberry pi and pi's ethernet port as bonded internet directly to the laptop via ethernet cable?
Do you know if it's possible to have both the Pi and another internet source on the same network (both plugged into an ethernet swtich), but have the ATEM look only at the Pi? I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk M2 as part of a network in a portable streaming kit and I just want to boot up the Pi as a backup source if I have problems with my LiveU Solo. However the Nighthawk is also being used to configure the network. Thoughts?
Hi Alex. The Pi model you have the Amazon link for is no longer available. Do you have a newer recommended model that you can send a link to? I'd like to give this a shot. Thanks!
Hello Alex Thank you for the very interesting video. How is the laptop connected to the Raspberry PI? Or how is the Raspberry integrated into the network?
I been researching for hours.. from what I gathered the Pi is the network, all things connect to it, it bonds all & then connects to the web.. so the ATEM connects to it via ethernet cable adapted to USB for web streaming & the laptop connects via the USBC port for the ATEM controls etc.. been trying to get this right before buying all the wrong stuff.. I hope thats right..
@@jamieandrei when you say the Pi is the ‘network’ … do you mean like a meta network? Like the ethernet is a network, the dongle is a network etc and then speedify bundles them all together into a network and the the pi puts that into a network that you can then link up the Atem? Like that you think?
@@georgecortstories the Pi bundles all the internet connections via Speedify into 1x bonded connection.. you then connect to the Pi as the router.. the Pi / Speedify then manages the bonded connections / fail over.
@@jamieandrei geeez i would love to hear more about that last connection … the part where the Atem connects to a computer and can share its ‘speedify bonded signal’ … i’ve looked for intel on this ‘sharring a speedify connection with an atem’ but no luck - have you done this?
I'm actually using touch portal together with OBS to do scene switching. Thinking of using a raspberry pi zero as a openvpn server so that I can use my phone as a client and still control OBS via touch portal. Is there a way to make the pi 4 both speedify VPN and also a openVPN server and do the same thing?
Hi Gregory, glad you liked the video. Yes for tethering iPhones you’ll need to run “sudo apt install usbmuxd“. See instructions here: support.speedify.com/article/565-tethered-iphone-linux
I really wish I could just buy a device that does this. All the devices I find are missing the option to share the connection via ethernet to the ATEM.
you coul do it directly from your Mac (If you have one) download Speedify to your computer, and on network settings you choose to share your conection via ethernet. I do it that way since I don't have a Raspberry. Only thing I haven't solved is how to put two ethernet adapters (one to recive internet, and the other to share the bonded conection) to my mac, while still having usb ports to connect more celular signals
If you wanted to send the internet connection to a PC instead of directly to the Atem. Is the setup process the same? I’m using the atem into OBS for streaming.
For this is actually a lot easier. Just download the Speedify app directly onto the PC your streaming from, and that’s it! Hardly any setup needed, just turn on the Speedify connection within the app and OBS will use that.
@@georgecortstories I haven’t tried yet, but there’s an option to share Ethernet through Mac to the ATEM, it’s on the Speedify site. I’ll try and I will answer.
So, Alex, how do you "connect" and conteoll your Atem here, when LAN port is connected to RasPi? Hard connected trough one of two avaliable USBC to your Mac? Or maby some kind of "magic" using this Speedify bonded network?
@alex Hey! Would I be able to use this set up just to get a bonded connection for my MacBook? We stream to Zoom and use the Atem as a webcam primarily. But we need more secure and redundant internet sources. Would I follow same process but connect the Ethernet into my MBP?
I found 2 redeem codes. In trying both codes, it doesn't acknowledge one way or the other if the codes are good. I also thought you could at least sign up for a 7 day free trial without needing to add your credit card information. But I can't even seem to get that. Has anyone had this issue?
The redeem codes were only for the first 3 people who spotted them in the video, they are now all claimed I’m afraid. I may be giving away more in the future though :)
I wish you'd connect the USB to ethernet from the raspberry pi to a pc or mac and perform a Speedtest, not on redunduncy bonding mode but on speed bonding mode and on streaming bonding mode so as to see how much increase of the speed one can get out of it.
@@AlexPettitt Definitely! But here's the plot twist... I went on searching for anything like what I mentioned above and I found this video on Speedify channel where they combined 15 internet connections into the iPad via lightning to USB-C adaptor and at some point in the video I saw 16 internet connections into an iPhone😯😯🤯.. It'll be interesting to see what the raspberry pi can output..
Watched the video and my tech skills are not at the correct level yet. Looking to get a mobile live stream with good quality picture. One camera (a gopro or my phone) Something plug and play (not plug and PAY).
since inputs on ATEM Mini are hdm, you'll need to have an usb to hdmi adapter (which I dont think they exist) but if you do find a solution, let me know 🤣
@Alex Pettitt thx. This is my second time this week when I "won" something on the internet :D No longer than 2 days ago I was wondering about buying a speedify :) now I have one for 6 months for free. Nice!
I couldn't get speedify working on osx as the driver they suggested for an android usb connection didn't function. I abandoned the whole thing because it seemed like a hassle.
I am running a Zoom event via an Atem Mini Pro ISO going out via the USB to a laptop. I have a new 5G Streaming WiFi dongle but was wondering if speedify would work on my laptop and allow me to both hotspot my 4G Phone as well as the 5G WiFi dongle?
Hey Peter, yes this would work. If you plug the 5G USB dongle in your computer and instal Speedify’s app onto that same computer, it will bond the connection from both the dongle and the hotspot from your phone. If both devices are wifi only, you’ll need to buy a little USB wifi receiver to allow you to use a second wifi device on your laptop. Hope this helps
@@AlexPettitt Thanks Alex I just purchased an USB 4G Dongle from a different broadband supplier. I can use cat5 to my 5 G Dongle and use the laptop Wi- Fi to hotspot my phone. That should give me three to connect. So much easier when venues have decent Wi-Fi. Cheers
In this instance I was using the control over USB. But I have also taken the Pi into a network hub and put both the ATEM and my Mac into that network hub before… basically treating like a router. That worked well and allowed for control of ATEM over Ethernet :)
@@AlexPettitt Now if i could just figure out how to use my 8 NDI pov cameras on the network thru my ATEM Mini Extreme ISO and not have to use HDMI. Any suggestions?
Thank you Alex. I have a question; If I have 3 connections with each giving me 3Mbits/sec. I need 8Mbits/sec to maintain my stream. Can Speedify bond my 3 connections to give me 9Mbits/sec?
Yes, exactly pretty much. So for this you would need to put Speedify in SPEED mode rather than redundancy mode. Once you do that, Speedify will evenly split up your data packets (not duplicate them) and send them down all 3 connections. So you get the aggregated speed of all your devices, but don't get the redundancy if one of the fails. I hope this makes sense :)
@@AlexPettitt @Alex Pettitt So the only downside in the Speed mode is that you lose packets when you lose a connection right (meaning that part of your video will be lost to your audience)? The liveu Solo, which also does bonding, does not lose any packets while bonding whenever you lose a connections. The difference is that LiveU is $50 a Month and Speedify is less than $10 a month. Correct me if I am wrong.
@@eventvideographyguide8506 It's more that the device prioritises speed over redundancy. So if one of your connections was to drop for a second, Speedify will still try to distribute the traffic down the remaining two connections. But they may not be able to support the speed data that your pushing out. So then your stream may start to buffer. LiveU solo would do the same. Speedify just has the added redundancy mode, where by it doesn't increase speed, but duplicated the packets and send them down all connections to increase redundancy :)
@@AlexPettitt I know both methods will buffer if you don't have enough Mbits to stream. If you always have enough Mbits even while removing connections; using the Speed option in Speedify you will still lose packets once you remove a connection but you will never lose packets by removing a connection while using the LiveU.
it won't exactly give the sum of all, especially if the connections don't match each other (like one connection with low latency and okay bandwidth and other one with high bandwidth but poor latency) or the connection conditions are dynamic (if it's satellite or cellular for example). but it will do pretty much same job as the liveU, as long as you got a good server latency to speedify(which you usually do)
Good luck to my eagled eyed viewers! I've hidden some codes in this video for your to get Speedify for free! Full details are in the description. Good luck 😉

But they may not be able to support the speed data that your pushing out. So then your stream may start to buffer. LiveU solo would do the same. Speedify just has the added redundancy mode, where by it doesn't increase speed, but duplicated the packets and send them down all connections to increase redundancy :)
@@AlexPettitt I know both methods will buffer if you don't have enough Mbits to stream. If you always have enough Mbits even while removing connections; using the Speed option in Speedify you will still lose packets once you remove a connection but you will never lose packets by removing a connection while using the LiveU.
it won't exactly give the sum of all, especially if the connections don't match each other (like one connection with low latency and okay bandwidth and other one with high bandwidth but poor latency) or the connection conditions are dynamic (if it's satellite or cellular for example). but it will do pretty much same job as the liveU, as long as you got a good server latency to speedify(which you usually do)
I have to try this
How many wan connections can it do? Only 2?
As many as you like really.... you just need to get them in. So if you had multiple USB breakouts, you could easily get 10+
@@AlexPettitt how do u get the WAN connections in AND connect the Atem?
Found the first code 4:00 ;)
Wheyy! Congratulations Sean! I hope you enjoy your free Speedify subscription. Let me know how you get on with it 👍
very internestic service!
Yeah it’s great! Let me know if you try it out :)
Hi Alex code at 20:30?
Not quite....but there is one close to that. It's very well hidden though 😉🕵🏻♂️
