I have this working between my two locations with a VPN instead of port forwarding. The nice part is it works both directions, I can control ATEMs on either side of the network from either side. Downside is it takes a bit of setup on two raspberry pis

I could just do screen sharing too. Port forwarding should be the easiest, if it works.

I just tried it on mine and port forwarding on port 9910 does work. I don't think you'd be able to control more than one behind the router because there's no option to select a port in the ATEM Software Control tho.

You tried accessing from another network? Cool! Can’t you though set the IP to include the port, something like 192.1.1.1:9910 — would the ATEM software accept that?

Yeah I just accessed my studio ATEM from home over the internet. The problem is the ATEM Software Control doesn't let you enter a port number, so your router can only forward port 9910 to one device on your network. I still wouldn't do this because the lack of authentication.

I see. Am I correct though that the format would be IP:port? And the ATEM just won’t let you type that in? (At home, can’t access system now to test myself)

Yeah IP:port is a pretty typical convention but there's nothing magical about it and the software has to be able to recognize it. If you try typing ":" into the ATEM Software it just doesn't let you type the ":"

Dang. I wonder… for security, could you have an IP address that forwards to your IP:port so that you don’t have to give out your real IP address? Like forwarding a URL?

not really... that's what a VPN is for tho!

So if set up a VPN server, which is what @alexlindsay was saying (I think) in my post on the Blackmagic forum.

if you just need a remote computer to control your studio ATEM, then running a VPN server in your studio and getting the client computer on your VPN will work great. That's a lot less involved than the full solution he was talking about.

Nice. Maybe we can talk offline about that this week. Because you’re definitely already over my head 😂

What about for extra pieces of ATEM equipment? I would like to add an ATEM Camera Control Panel in this chain to ping into site ATEM controlling. Would need to trick the ATEM into that the ATEM and the Camera Control Panel are on the same LAN.
