The ATEM TVS is a far older model than the ATEM Mini line. Hopefully it will get refreshed soon! Thank you for the video though, I wonder if I should get one from second hand market.
I think that is great, but still needs some features that the ATEM mini/SDI have plus some other for the price. The three screens would be realy usefull for a preview, current and a menu. Also 10Gb Ethernet, streaming (as the inferior models) and two 10Gb USB-C for control, webcam, external recording and custom transitions.
Thank you very much for this, as I was considering it. However, the recording issue is of concern. I wonder whether they will be upgrading this model, as they seem to be upgrading everything else. Thanks for the time & effort you put into this production; it is appreciated.
Question: I’m looking at getting 1 of these for several PTZ 4k cameras and BM4k camera. The PTZS output 4K over HDMI. Do you foresee any problem with converting multiple (6) HDMI signals to SDI inputs?
Hi. I am trying to get a counter or clock on one of the boxes in the live view. Can't figure how to do it on the Software control. Seen it at one location but can not figure it out.
Thanks for the review. What about the fan noise? I really need to know that it is quiet, since I mix audio live while switching, so silence is a must. Thanks.
Hi, great video thanks a lot. I'm waiting to receive the product. You have mentioned that we can record the full program on a SSD. Can you tell me how it work and how to connect it ? I have a BM video assist 12G HDR to help. Thanks a lot
Interesting comment at around 8 minutes about the "taking away from functionality" - concerning the addition of the DaVinci Resolve project/recording. Correct me if I'm wrong... but this switcher came out a couple of years before the ATEM Mini (and then the extreme/pro upgrades) and they've actually not done a refresh of this line since? If they ever do though I'd expect that they add that feature. A solution to record all this, especially if you want to do any re-cutting after the fact is to use the many SDI's out so you can loop them into recorders as well as record the main output. Annoying I know, having to buy multiple recorders but at the time it made sense until they realised they could do it all in the USB-C like with the mini's.
I was hoping to use the ATEM's 8 individual SDI Outputs as SDI Looputs so I could use 4 of the outs into a Atomos Sumo recorder's 4 SDI Inputs ISO recordings, but it appears the ATEM's outputs only show Program output back to BMD cameras.
@@driftwoodtv Ahhh, you might be right there. I forget that we used to have the Blackmagic Videohub 20x20 - thus allowing us to loop back/re-route any inputs/outputs we'd like. It's quite annoying that the Videohub is almost as costly as the ATEM. Maybe they could add the feature of remapping the SDI's out in the next version.
@@driftwoodtv Check the manual, but I think you can set them to either loop or PGM output (with talkback). It was a feature on the ATEM TVS HD, if I remember correctly.
This type of switcher is designed to process very high quality image material. To get the most out of it, everything from the camera to the data storage must meet the same high standards. If you want to preserve the image quality reasonably well, you can work with the ProRes 442 format. For 2160P60 this requires a data flow of 1320 Mbit/s. One hour of video requires about 580 GB of data storage. Due to the large amount of data, SD cards are not suitable for this. However, it is possible to loop the eight inputs to eight synchronised Hyperdeck Studio 4K Pro recorders. These recorders work with SSD. Due to the synchronised time code, processing in a video editing programme is easy - provided your computer is powerful enough. If you work with 1080P, you can also work with the cheaper versions of the Hyperdeck which do work with SD cards. Then, too, synchronisation is possible.
Great review! I have a question, though! Are the SDI Outputs from 1 to 8 programmable and if not - what are they outputting - the source from the corresponding input or it's just PGM/PVW return?
Why you video is not 4K quality if switcher is 4K? Also can you livestream 4K with it or it just records 4K. Also which cameras are capable or advised for this switcher in order to function with full capacity?
Hello! Thank u for the review. I wonder what's the difference in terms of the input scaler between the ATEM Mini series and the 4K tv studio pro. It's been told that the ATEM Mini series switchers have a built in scaler which is not available on some of the bm high end switchers.
I recorded this video to an SSD and edited it after, but if this was a livestream, you could get a Program signal out via SDI which is the final clean signal from the switcher. Unfortunately, going from SDI to a computer isn't very straightforward (this is geared for live TV it seems) but perhaps an SDI to HDMI converter would work, as long as your computer could recognize the HDMI source as a "Webcam" which is how many streaming platforms work, although many want it to be a USB source. The ATEM Mini and Mini Extreme are much more streamlined for direct livestreaming with their dedicated USB-C's
What the reply from LensProToGo is trying to day, is that you would need something like an Elgato capture card (which use HDMI inputs but then uses USB to connect to your PC). Or, you could use something like a Blackmagic DeckLink which is a PCIe card that connects directly into your computer and allows for SDI input directly into your machine. Magewell & Matrox also do their own version of this PCIe card. Hope this helps!
Question on the outputs. I have been working with this switcher for about a month. Is there anyway to have the 1-8 outs to be reprogram to a separate program ? The use case would be the desire to have imag on the auditorium projector but that imag to not be the same as the broadcast out?
@@shelbyhanneman you are correct. But to clarify in the switcher software or the hard panel you can easily "switch" which input that aux receives. Ie you can have graphics on screen then click camera 1 and have that up or your program feed and have that live on your screens.
@@chadhxc Hmmm I am going to have to play with that. That might help us for some rare times we want the program feed to be different from our middle screen in front of house

Please do a part 2 in depth review of this switcher.. i'm waiting....

All the sdi outputs above each input are program only just another fyi for renters. And they cannot be programmed (currently)

* 1 x 1/4 IN INPUT for talkback mic, 1 x 1/4 IN OUTPUT for headphones/control room monitors *
Wow I'm impressed
Thanks for such a thorough breakdown. Answered my main question, how to record it all!
Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K -- how do I switch from multi view to program view -- just wanting the program view on seperate monitor
I just need something ATEM mini sized, sdi or HDMI with 4k.
You didn't talk about the internal scaling feature! I also pair this with an atem mini pro for recording and streaming.
That’s a good point about the atem mini - can also use that for the usb-c output into vmix or obs
Does it have supersource?
Awesome video & Thanks :)

Sir hmara pass Croma kernaa ha pgm output logo ka output sating and ox output clin feed ki sating send please
Hi. I am trying to get a counter or clock on one of the boxes in the live view. Can't figure how to do it on the Software control. Seen it at one location but can not figure it out.
Can you help me..how to power off this Atem television studio pro 4K?
I dont look any button to power off.
Thank u
Croma sating kernaa ha oxx feed output clini feed output sating
I will like to know how to work the audio please
Thanks for the review. What about the fan noise? I really need to know that it is quiet, since I mix audio live while switching, so silence is a must. Thanks.
Can you we stream directly from the Blackmagic ATEM TV Studio Pro 4K Switcher?
Can you change the output destinations or are they all set to program?
Any luck of a video tut with PTZ camera controls with atem studio pro?
Awesome video. Do you mind sharing the name or link to the HDMI to SDI adapter you're using.
I watch all your videos and I want to buy Blackmagic Design Atem Television Studio Pro 4K BNC Video-Switch I want to buy I need advice
Nice😊
Can you ajust something from the switcher for any cameras models or only Blackmagic camera ? Not the focus... but iris, color or other ?
2:57 when you say there's a button to toggle power, is that 48 volts? I'm just looking for something to mute the audio.
Hi, great video thanks a lot. I'm waiting to receive the product. You have mentioned that we can record the full program on a SSD. Can you tell me how it work and how to connect it ? I have a BM video assist 12G HDR to help. Thanks a lot

Replying to myself because I just checked, it is not possible to switch to loop output. I must have thought of another product. :x

Hi,
Are there other 4k video switchers that also have HDMI inputs/outputs?
Thanks!
Which cameras are you using for this video? It looks great!
Great review! I have a question, though! Are the SDI Outputs from 1 to 8 programmable and if not - what are they outputting - the source from the corresponding input or it's just PGM/PVW return?
I have this same question
Great work! Curious if this shot was green screened?
...does it need a HDMI converter
Great 👍
Why you video is not 4K quality if switcher is 4K? Also can you livestream 4K with it or it just records 4K. Also which cameras are capable or advised for this switcher in order to function with full capacity?
Thank you for the video.
What are you using to capture your recording out of the Atem television studio pro .
I want to purchase this for no reason other than it has Blinky lights
3:35 what are the numbers there for, below the buttons you're describing?
Hello! Thank u for the review. I wonder what's the difference in terms of the input scaler between the ATEM Mini series and the 4K tv studio pro. It's been told that the ATEM Mini series switchers have a built in scaler which is not available on some of the bm high end switchers.
Where did you get those skinny SDI cable runs from?
can i connect cameras with different frame rate at the same time?
Yes
How did you some everything up to live stream. What SDI output did you use to connect to the computer for live streaming. Thanks.
I recorded this video to an SSD and edited it after, but if this was a livestream, you could get a Program signal out via SDI which is the final clean signal from the switcher.

get the Blackmagic ultrastudio recorder 3G and a thunderbolt 3 cable

Not currently. But there is an aux out you could use for that
@@chadhxc but from my understanding and tinkering aux outs are tied to their input. So aux 1 out is always going to show aux 1 input, is that correct?
@@shelbyhanneman you are correct. But to clarify in the switcher software or the hard panel you can easily "switch" which input that aux receives. Ie you can have graphics on screen then click camera 1 and have that up or your program feed and have that live on your screens.
