Steve and Paul get hands on with the new Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD.
ATEM Television Studio HD is a live production switcher designed for both broadcasters and AV professionals. It includes 4 SDI and 4 HDMI inputs so you can connect up to 8 sources, and it supports all formats up to 1080p60.
Great discussion! Great humor / heckling (I think it goes with the job!). The "elephant in the room" on reliability was an interesting discussion... I've hung on to an old Panasonic MX50 for that reason - and also because it's zero lag. I've also had ATEM critical fail (lock ups / loss of com with laptop) and also an input that decided (overnight) to not accept a PC screen signal. All reports suggest this new unit is a lot more fail-safe and faster to lock onto inputs too. That panel for simple switching is killer too - esp for portable use. I'm super curious to get it working on a V-Mount battery system with a small field screen, a wireless encoding box and a 4G mobile phone. It would effectively allow a mobile broadcast studio in a portabrace bag - perfect for arts festivals where you want to dash around and capture a schedule of events back to back. Mind blowing.
Hi Chris..Thanks for your comment...I have been using the kit again for the last couple of days and it's been performing really well, I'm enjoyin using it...I like the idea of making it super portable, and it would be interesting to see what power it draws if using a V-mount battery...please let us know how you get on...cheers..steve
Hello! Faced a problem. When connected to the Sony a6400 Atem television studio HD, only black screen and sound are output. The format on the camera and the switcher is correct. When connecting other models of cameras, everything is in order (for example, Fujifilm XT-3). How to solve a problem?
Are all the cameras outputting the same format and only the A6400 is black? It definitely sounds like a picture format issue. I don't have an A6400 to test... but I have had issues with some Sony cameras that will only output PsF format even when you want progressive. The ATEM might be seeing this as interlaced when you want progressive. As an experiment, try setting the ATEM to interlaced input (say 1080i) and see if the A6400 pops up even in 1080p. You might have to try this with just the A6400 connected first. If it works, you'll have to set all the other cameras for an interlaced output to get everything working together. Hope it helps... let me know if that's it.
P.S. Obviously, the other thing to check is that the A6400 is running at exactly the same frame rate?
@@extrashot Thanks for the answer! problem solved. It turned out that the sony a6400 always outputs 50/60 fps via HDMI, regardless of the selected frame rate for recording. Only the resolution & p/i can be selected manually for HDMI output.
@@YARIUS That's great news.... glad you've got it sorted. Sony are weird with the whole PsF thing on domestic cameras... I think it's a hangup from the old broadcast compatibility issue of years ago! Take care.
@@extrashot Have you had any experience with old miniDV camcorders with ATEM TV Studio HD? We need cameras for broadcasting, and the budget is limited
@@YARIUS I've been recently working with somebody who's using three old Panasonic camcorders for live production into an ATEM. I can't remember the model numbers but they were silver coloured mini tape things that should have been scrapped years ago. You know what... with everything set to 1080 interlaced and plenty of light... they looked great! Just proved you don't have to spend a fortune... Just don't make the lighting too moody!
hello, I bought atem television studio hd, but decklink mini recorder, I have intensity shuttle usb 3.0 plus a micro converter sdi to hdmi, nothing gives me result I can not capture or record
My motherboard giganbyte z170x gaming5 and windows 8.1 64bit 32 memory ram MEANS MESSAGE IN ATEM SOFTWARE CONTROL
It is not possible to record the captured images on the disc .Check that the file name and path are valid
Can you help me what can I do if you know something?
Very informative guys! Seems like a great product. Do you ever live stream and if so what products do you use for it?
Hi Leighton... Recently I have been streaming using liveu, livestream, and videu... Thanks steve
Stephen Adams I currently use wirecast through my macbook but am being let down by the venues Internet more often than not and resorting to 4g dongle but looking for something more substantial. Any products you'd recommend from what you've used?
Ok review, having used the BM products before, would have been nice to have had you turn it around to see the inputs/outputs. but you did touch on the issue of reliability, which is real. My solution was to make sure it was rack mounted one slot away from other gear.that allowed air cooling over the power supply.
Steve, thanks for this. How are you controlling the ATEM from the computer? No one seems to talk about that! I see a USB2 connector but I think that's only for setup. And I see an Ethernet connector, but MacBook Pros do not have Ethernet connectors (I have a USB-Ethernet dongle). TIA, KL
Hi Kit, Yes, the USB is just to setup the ATEM (IP address, firmware etc), main control is always through the ethernet. I use a thunderbolt/ethernet dongle on my older macbook and this works really well once you've discovered the correct IP address for your adaptor. Any ethernet connection should be fine. Paul
Yes, I got it going via a USB-Ethernet dongle (and I followed the detailed instructions in the manual; that's a first for me, probably!). Cheers, KL
Are you guys using this for streaming to Social Media or just recording the show? I was just curious if the Web Presenter is a must or if any other capture card will do the trick.
Hi.. Thanks for the question.. We do a mixture of live streaming to Facebook live and recording. For recording we normally just use an external device like the BMD video assist... I have t used the web presenter yet so will be looking to review very soon.. Cheers.. Steve
And several years on, has it been reliable enough?
Must be honest... I had a hiccup early on when it was about a month old... two of the inputs failed for some reason. (actually, it may have been a rogue power spike down the SDI). Either way, Blackmagic swapped it without question and the replacement has been faultless for over two years. So I'm very happy now. These ATEMs have gone through several generations and improvements since this video was made, and I've been using newer versions in studio environments regularly. They now appear to be very reliable. 👍
extrashot that’s good to hear, thanks. I already have an original TV Studio, a Production Studio 4K and the new Mini but I’m thinking of replacing the old TVS with this one, mainly as a spare in the rack.
Is the Behringer Shark FBQ 100 still needed for the new ATEM Studio HD to keep the audio in sync for streaming?
Hi Gary, you don't need anything to help with sync anymore. The original Stem Studio was v tricky with sync but all is good now, whether using SDI embedded or an analogue audio source...Steve
I have one of these and you still have a little lag on the audio. That could be from using cheaper cameras and converters.
las entradas de video son muy delicadas, tengo este equipo y ya se dañaron las entradas y salidas de video
¿Te refieres físicamente o desde un punto de vista electrónico? Los míos siguen fuertes después de unos años de duro trabajo en la carretera...???
@@extrashot electronico. Solo la tengo dos años y la he trabado unas 40 veces y ya no funcionan las entradas 3 y 4 de hdmi y una salida de sdi y en soporte tecnico no dan solicion por que ya paso su garantia
You did a better job of presenting this unit than Grant Petty.
Ha ha... Many thanks Dhiraj... It was fun playing with the switcher.. Thanks steve
BTW would you recommend this unit? Planning to buy one soon for our webcasting services.
I think it's a great piece of kit, and I think the pictures look very sharp too...for simple multicam and webcasting I think this ticks all the boxes...cheers...steve
Thanks.
hello. I got in the previo monitor just Black instead of Camera. How can I change that? Please, help me
Can you see the camera in the split screen multi-view?
Hello! Thank you for the video!
Do I need two computers to stream on the Internet? I mean one computer for controlling the ATEM (using Blackmagic software) and the second computer for doing the streaming (using OBS or other such software)? Or is it possible to use the same computer both for controlling the ATEM and streaming?
Thanks!
Controlling the ATEM doesn't require much in the way of processing power from the computer, so it should be easy to also run the streaming software (OBS or similar), on the same PC... however, the ATEM needs to talk to the computer through the Ethernet port, so you'd need to split this off if you wanted to use it for the stream simultaneously? For safety, I'd probably want to add something like a second computer and a BlackMagic Ultrastudio Mini Recorder (for the output of the ATEM) and keep it separate. Depending on how many sources and what you need in the way of effects... it might be better to go for the new ATEM Mini Studio Pro... much cheaper, and best of all, includes USB streaming so it appears on your computer like a webcam... ie ready to stream anywhere!
@@extrashot Thank you!
Are you two Brothers/
No! 😂
Can you control camera with this as well? Depending on lensing...zoom, focus, f-stop ISO etc?
Hi Brian..I believe you can, this is from the BMD website... "The powerful camera control lets you remotely adjust iris and focus, camera settings and color correction, all via SDI"..I haven't done this myself, and I guess you will need a camera that has the correct SDI module...cheers Steve
QUESTION: I plan to use my switcher (ATEM Television Studio HD) with my MacBook Pro and display Power Point of Corporate events. The MacBook only has options of 1024 x 640, 1280 x 800, 1440 x 900 DEFAULT is 1680 x 1050 and lastly 1920 x 1200... All of which are not broadcast resolutions. I read online today: "Apple quietly notes that you also can "press and hold the 'Option' key while clicking the 'Scaled' button" in the "Displays" Control Panel to see more resolutions." Im not sure if this will give us a resolution we can use with out purchasing a scaler... What has been your experience... No one seems to mention this. Thanks!
Hi Tariq, That's a really good question, and I must confess, I'm not sure. The ATEM requires all inputs to be the same resolution and frequency, so you'd need to get 1920x1080 50Htz (or whatever you're using) out of the mac. I think there's a way to get the mac to detect the display's through the HDMI output, but only if you switch everything on before connecting the HDMI cable to the ATEM. There is a button in settings for 'Detect displays'?
Failing that, you may need to go through some other converter from the mini display port to get to a resolution that the ATEM will accept. There's also a piece of software for the mac called SwitchResX which might help.
As soon as I can get my mac and and ATEM together, I'll try to test and report back. Sorry I can be more help.
Paul
Hi, I finally got my Switcher in... I'm happy to announce that not only did my computer conform to the requested resolution, I was able to run the ATEM software on the main screen wile running power point on the extended screen... No need for two computers!!! I'm using a MacBook Pro 15" 2016.
wow - that's great news and thank you for letting everyone know. Did you run the power point through HDMI output or the mini display port? Be good to know the procedure because I haven't seen the definitive answer anywhere else. Thanks anyway. Paul
The new MacBooks have 4 Thunderbolt via USB Type C ports so I have to use an adaptor. The adaptor I have has 3 USB ports, 1 HDMI port, and 1 Ethernet. As you know, you must use Ethernet and USB to communicate the the Switcher. The HDMI out goes to one of the HDMI ports on the switcher, works like a charm! Here is a link to the USB Hub.

Thank you!
Thanks for this gents. Interested in your setup for live streaming e.g. a sports event? Cameras and Broadcast kit (Terradek?) Any wireless units etc. Be great to see what you would use and how you would set it up as and end to end solution.
Hi D W.. Thanks for watching.. So far we have been using the Atem set up for situations where the cameras are wired to the switcher... I don't see why it would be an issue to use a wireless set up but I think you would want a high quality solution.. I think most people would use the teradek bolt etc mostly for monitoring.. Cheers steve
Thanks for the response. Good to know your thoughts. Cheers. Darren.
Stephen Adams how do you get the TVS output onto a live stream? Does the TVS go on into capture card which connects to a computer/wirecast for example?
hi there, great review. Have you by any chance had a look at the Sling Studio product? Wireless transmission from camera to base unit and switching done via iPad.

Hi.. Thanks for your comment.. No I haven't heard of that system.. Is it a UK available system? Steve
that I'm not sure (I'm in Australia). I've seen Mr CheesyCam review the unit (UA-cam) but am keen to hear other peoples views
Slingstudio are only for sale in the US. at the moment which is a pity because they are portable.
Hi, I see that there is a USB port on the back, whats it for?
Hi Andrew, The ATEM normally connects to your computer with Ethernet using the default (in-built) addresses from the factory.... but if you wanted to connect to a network or use custom addresses, then you'll need to use the USB to set those up on the ATEM with the BM settings software. The only other reason for using the USB is for firmware updates etc. I think it's only USB 2, so it's not fast enough for video data transfer etc. (in case you were wondering!). Take care, Paul
@@extrashot thanks for the reply! One more question, I am helping a church getting started with streaming their services on facebook, would the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Recorder paired with this switch be able to do that?
Hello can u help me with connection of an Atem to a Canon 60d DSLR camera
Hi Daniel, is it the Studio HD model?... I don't have a Canon 60D but I believe you can only get a live HDMI output if the camera Isn't recording... and even then, is it clean without any black bars down the sides? It might be possible to get a clean HD output of the 60D with the 'Magic Lantern', firmware but I'm not able to test this without a camera. The main issue I've had with my ATEM is making sure all of the camera inputs are the same format... ie. if the inputs are expecting and working with say 50i, then other camera's won't appear if they can't also output the same 50i. For instance, my F5 will only output PsF even when internally recording 25P. To the ATEM this looks the same as interlaced, which means I then have to get interlaced out of the GH5 if I want to cut them together! Basically.... if you're only seeing black, then chances are, it's a different picture format to what the ATEM is expecting. Sorry I can't be more help. Paul
In layman's terms - would this device allow me to live broadcast to a service like Zoom with a combination of (a) hdmi from a couple of cameras *and* (b) screen output from my macbook pro? How would I set this up? Obviously, the cameras' hdmi outs would connect directly to the Atem but what about my screen output? How would that work? Thanks in advance if anyone can help...
Hi Hugh.... The ATEM Studio HD can totally do this, and the only thing to watch is that all the HDMI sources are matching resolutions and frame rates. In other words, the display settings on your MacBook Pro would probably have to be adjusted to match the two cameras. That way everything will stay in sync. However.... have you seen the new ATEM mini from Blackmagic? The details are here: www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/atemmini. Thing with this (apart from the lower price) is that you can TX from it directly.... including main output down USB... so you can connect to Zoom as if it's a webcam !!! Sounds much more suitable to what you want to achieve?
@@extrashot Thank you so much for your quick and helpful reply. I thought you might refer to the Atem mini which I would purchase in a heartbeat. The thing is, they're out of stock everywhere, presumably because they're produced in China and are consequently in short supply. However I saw an almost new Television Studio HD on ebay and wondered how workable that would be as a plan B (and more expensive) option. (I'm in Ireland, by the way... a teacher about to "go online" for my students.)
@@hughan00 Oh sorry, I didn't realise it was backordered everywhere. It's also relatively new on the market so it seems many people haven't had any stock yet. It's a shame because that's actually perfect for your use. I'll make a call tomorrow and try to see if anyone knows when they might start coming through...
@@extrashot That's very much appreciated - thank you!
@@hughan00 Haven't forgotten Hugh... just can't get an answer until Monday... sorry to keep you hanging.
Weldon guys, what type of camera can someone use with ATEM MIXER
Holymoses Aibinuomo
Hi.. With the Atem HD you can use high end professional cameras but it will also work consumer or prosumer cameras.. Thanks steve

se puede conectar una go pro en el ATEM television estudio hd?
Sí, con la salida HDMI o conviértala a SDI con un convertidor blackmagic. Solo asegúrate de que todas tus entradas tengan la misma velocidad de cuadros y resolución ... para que la GoPro tenga que coincidir con todo lo que estás conectando. Espero que tenga sentido. Pablo
extrashot entonces las puedo conectar configurando la resolución por hdmi
@@MrVihuhi si tiene el ATEM configurado en decir 1080 a 25P, entonces todo lo que conecte debe ser 1080 a 25P ... es decir. Todas las entradas deben tener la misma velocidad de cuadro y resolución. Es mejor configurarlo en GoPro antes de enchufarlo en ATEM. ¡Lo que no puedes hacer es decir que una GoPro está configurada en 4K a 30P y otra en 25P!
extrashot muchas gracias
informando con buen humor, genial

Really? Are you noticing a delay on the TX path or just the switching? I didn't notice anything more than other similar switchers. It would be interesting to compare this to the newer ATEM Mini Pro and see if things have improved.
