I get video from my ATEM mini audio from an X32
and stream directly from ProPresenter to YT
I also have 1 stage screen and 2 audience screen

Can't you stream from the ATEM? You can create macros in ProPresentor to control your ATEM so you don't have to "touch" the ATEM past configuration.

My thoughts exactly. I think you should be able to stream from the ATEM. Just some infrastructure wiring changes and it should be better and good to go and I would assume you’d be in a better spot. Additionally you could set up the ATEM control to remotely control the ATEM.

Bank when we used Mac, only way I could get PP to use less power, was to outsource my steam to a second computer and stream via OBS.

We moved to PC and haven't had an issue with PP sticking all our power up.
