I don't think this is something that exists. It sounds incredibly difficult to implement, with such a narrow use-case that nobody has done it as a product.  \r\n\r\nThings like the raspberry pi can present as a USB mass storage device.  \r\nMaybe you could mount an external SSD to that, have the pi boot in \"gadget mode\".  \r\nThen network share the SSD, and mount it on the other machine as a NAS.  \r\nOr you could have the Pi copy the files to a NAS, or onto a shared drive on the other machine. This would probably require putting a button (and maybe a small display to show progress) to fire a script to initiate the transfer.\r\n\r\nThe thing about this is to be aware of the data rates.  \r\nI'm not sure what the atem requires.\r\n\r\nAnother way might be to use a USB switcher.  \r\nSomething that very simply disconnects the attached USB device from the atem and attaches it to the other machine, at the touch of a button.  \r\nMaybe something like this.  \r\nhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/CableDeconn-Bi-Direction-Delivery-Transfer-Converter-Black/dp/B092VHC166   \r\n(Not sure if this does data or just video)","subreddit_name":"CommercialAV","author":"Towerful"},{"body":"Hi,\r\n\r\nThe above supposedly works, I haven't had the time to buy it and try it out.

The catch (especially from the description) is that it has most of the problems of cable extenders, but those shouldn't apply too much in this scenario as long as you don't use the longest possible passive USB C cables.","subreddit_name":"UsbCHardware","author":"CaptainSegfault"},{"body":"I believe that [this type of bidirectional switch](https://www.amazon.com/CableDeconn-Bi-Direction-Delivery-Transfer-Converter/dp/B092VHC166) is the best that's currently available.\r\n\r\nIt only has a captive cable on one side and is bidirectional, so you can connect the captive side to your existing USB-C hub.\r\n\r\nIf you needed HDMI out instead of USB-C, [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-2-Port-Type-C-Delivery-USB-KCPD/dp/B07Y2HKN37) has no captive cables except for its own remote switch. There are others with no captive cables but using HDMI output for the video.","subreddit_name":"UsbCHardware","author":"pdp10"},{"body":"The NFHK switch/splitter, like the [CableDeconn](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B092VHC166), behaves like a full-featured USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 cable that supports video, data and power delivery, but it doesn't identify itself (through its e-marker chip) as a Thunderbolt cable so it doesn't work with Thunderbolt devices.\r\n\r\nThe product description of the CableDeconn switch/splitter is more explicit on [this point](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hPC1RdoVL._AC_SL1000_.jpg).\r\n\r\nIf you used the NFHK switch/splitter with the CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub, the latter will function as a USB-C hub. I don't think the CalDigit supports MST so, as a USB-C hub, it won't handle 2 monitors. And since macOS doesn't support MST, even a USB-C hub that supports MST is useless.\r\n\r\nWhat you need is a USB4/Thunderbolt 4 switch/splitter. It should be possible to design one, but I don't know of any. Maybe because there is not enough of a market yet.\r\n\r\nYou can still use the CalDigit with your two MacBook Pros, but you'll have to manually plug and unplug.😃","subreddit_name":"UsbCHardware","author":"buitonio"}]}
