Atem Blackmagic Software Control
This software is required to manage and control the TV broadcast switcher we are using in the classroom. It is a virtual control board for our TV switcher.

While the switcher itself works without the software, we are unable to add graphics and access other features needed to produce a live or recorded broadcast.
The software is the ATEM Switchers 8.6 Update at this time.

What you need
To connect to the Internet, you will need a connection to the Internet from both your
ATEM Streaming Bridge and the ATEM Mini Pro that will stream to it. You will also need to
have a public IP address for your ATEM Streaming Bridge as your ATEM Mini Pro needs to
connect to it, and you need a fixed address that won’t change over time.
The problem is your ATEM Streaming Bridge is on your local Ethernet network, however you
need it to be visible on the internet. ATEM Streaming Bridge uses port forwarding in your
internet firewall to allow the ATEM Mini Pro on the internet to connect via your internet
connection to the ATEM Streaming Bridge. If this is not set up, then the ATEM Mini Pro won’t be
able to find the ATEM Streaming Bridge.
What this means is you need to ask an internet provider, or your network administrator to set up
port forwarding on your internet connection to “TCP port 1935”. They will know what that means!
The good news is the ATEM Streaming Bridge will also attempt to set up this port forwarding
feature for you, as most internet connections and firewalls have a protocol for setting up the
port forwarding automatically. This means it’s possible the ATEM Streaming Bridge will
communicate with your network gear and try and set this up for you as you set up using the
ATEM Setup utility.
from their documentation. I don't know which device they are using or if they are using any equipment that will need this feature. I doubt they will as it will probably be used for local production items.

more info is needed about what hardware they will be using and if it will be connected to the internet?
Yes
waiting to hear back from teacher on a question about hooking up equipment to the network.
response from teacher:
Jared,
The equipment does connect to the internet. It can be used to stream video to YouTube and Facebook. We will use it mostly to record with plans in the future for a live stream production to YouTube.
Thank you
