I’ve been running this switcher for years and learned even more about it watching your video, thank you!
Cool, I'll be waiting when you put it into your case
Full Respect For All Information
I agree about the tiny cut button. Being at the bottom of the rack isn't the most convenient location.
A quick double tap on the preview monitor button to cut to that monitor would be a nice option instead of the tiny cut button.
Hi John, Great video,
my Name is Eric, I'm the guy from Barbados who mentioned in the chat on your stream on Sunday about my plan to use the Web Presenter for a streaming business i am putting together, I collected it on Monday and I am sold on the Blackmagic eco system, the Atem HD is my next goal as soon as my current investment begins to pay off. Keep up the great work !
Hey! Good to have you watching the stream on Sunday - thanks for tuning in! And glad to hear your enjoying the Blackmagic gear :)
Thanks for jumping in Filip and excellent advice!
I was looking for exactly this kind of a review! I could find non before but blabbering excited hyper streamers!. Thanks for your detailed and useful review! I need one of these.
Hey - what a great comment and it means a lot to me - really happy to have helped... and to have talked you into buying one ;)
You earned it :) . If possible, would like to see how to setup this for a two camera stream, using a computer to do graphics such as lower thirds. Do you need to have a recorder and decoder with this? TIA
I have the HyperDeck Studio Mini (full video coming this week on that device) which I use for recording. As for graphics, I tend not to need that for my setups so I don’t have any sample content yet - but it’s a great idea to make a video about it some day :)
Super! Thank you. Keep up the good work!
Super great review! Very useful as I'm gonna buy one for one client very soon. Just a thing, reference is not timecode ;-) thanks for your job
Haven't got my hands on it yet but I'm going to be using one of these for smaller events when the other gear is already being used.. other gear being a 1 m/e 4k and 1 m/e panel. We already have a bmd television studio which was our backup and I've operated that with a mouse before...
Best feature is the AFV and ON buttons for audio. It is very inconvenient to have to use the software to swap while you are operating on the 1 m/e panel and we don't have any midi / xkeys setup.
I did not know on the old one the usb output a h.264 stream.. that could be useful!
Thanks for telling us I guess?
hey john ! thanks a lot for this video! I would like to know if you can modify the transition effects, and what would you recommend, this atem or the roland v-1hd ? thanks again :)
Great info. Thanks. What would you recommend as an encoder for streaming?
Hi - Thanks for the great reviews, they have been really helpful. I've bought one, but I'm struggling to get it to recognise a Powerpoint signal from a Laptop. Have you managed to do this? Do I need an extra bit of kit to make this work? Thanks
You'll need something to get the signal from the computer to match the exact framerate and resolution that's set in the ATEM.
Correct. Check what you are outputting from the PowerPoint computer and make sure that matches the ATEMs system setting!
Hello my friend 👍 thanks for sharing! I'm a little jealous won't lie 😁 in the market for a budget HDMI switch, so far I did pick up a blackmagic mini recorder, in addition to a wireless mic. Inspired by your recent live steam
Thanks for the comment - I enjoy making you jealous a little :) and thanks for watching the live stream!
Can you record each individual video I puts (iso) or can you only control your program feed?
Hey! Have a question, I use the Roland for my church, has a mac plugged in, and a camera. Wondering if the BM will strip hdcp when running slides from the mac? Or will it not allow video output because of the mac?
BMD products do not strip or play well with HDCP at all. You may find the Mac works well sometimes and not so much other times. Best to avoid HDCP content.
great video. Just unboxed mine today and am excited to get it fired up. Using it for a house of worship and connecting 3 cameras. I am then intending on running it through wirecast, but after watching this video, not 100% certain I even need to do this? Really want to use wirecast so I can add lower thirds and on screen graphic, what do you think?
Excellent. Hope you enjoy it! We’d recommend getting familiar with how the Up Stream and Down stream keyers work within the ATEM. They’ll let you add graphics (static images) and then go from there!
How would I integrate a video capture box for live streaming?
What kind of jack goes into the mic input? Does not look like the standard 1/4 inch
HI John, great to see you are getting the ATEM TVS HD. I want to know if the SDI OUT port on the back is specifically for communcation things with cameraman? Is there anything to use that as normal PGM OUT so that i don't need to but another SDI distributor?
Hey - great question. SDI Outputs can be used to simply send the PGM out and works exactly as you would expect. I use one of these to stream my PGM.
So in total we get 1+4 SDI PGM John?
Yeah!
Does Atem studio HD small monitor on frot side can be used for previe cameras before cuting ?
Thanks for the great review. I'm thinking of using this to feed two projectors at a live event using the SDI outs and a Blackmagic SDI to HDMI converter at each projector. Can you tell me if I will have to worry about delay with the live sound? The camera on the speaker that will feed the ATEM will be a Sony X70 using the SDI out.
You will most definitely have some delay on the projector screens however I believe it will be quite minimal and not massively noticeable - it’s only when you are cutting to live music that you will see a real difference.
Hi. How do i connect this to my Mac computer and send it to projector using Resolum Arena??
I can't find the source in Arena.
Great video but missing some info I was looking for. Was hoping to see a full demonstration of the device actively switching camera/video signals, seeing the multi-view, showing the upstream/downstream keying, and the way that the software looks on your laptop. Also, you failed to mention one of the more glaring 'cons' of this device in that it does not scale your input signals to your desired output resolution. I've been told that all your input signals must match your desired output resolution by use of a decimator (if needed) in order to achieve this. Thanks!
oh yeah good point. I'm sure he forgot trying to do everything in the video. Anyway, yeah I personally use one of those red Decimator devices. I don't have that many feeds coming in. For me it's my two cameras (GH4s) and then the program feed of the slides from the house AV. So I use the Decimator to scale the House Av feed 1080P23.98 which is what I'm rocking with my GH4s. I have a GH3 still that I love as a 3rd cam, but it outputs 59.97 so it needs to be convereted too. But the decimator can only `scale one thing!!!
Thanks for this video.
can you pls do an extensive video on how aux work and what scenerios aux can be used.
I would love to and I do plan to! Might take me a little while to get it all together but please do keep your eyes on the channel for future videos!
Thx for the good videos.
I plan to use this device as a replacement for laptop with OBS/Wirecast + umpteen grabbers for conference lecture recordings. One potential issue I would like your opinion on: I usually crop speakers and do a side by side with the slides. If I understand correctly, this is not possible with PIP functionality on the unit?
You are correct. You will only be able to to a PiP over top of the background presentation and not side by side.
Thx! For anyone else researching this I happened on this thread with participation from yourself: forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=65152. Due to this limitation I think I'll stick with OBS, maybe upgrading from a laptop to an ITX system to have more power and expandability.
Hi, Thank you for your time to share all these reviews. I have to make a sports coverage event with 8 cameras. Each camera should have the scoreboard on it. So I have to buy 8 Atems in order to make 8 PiP. Do you think any other way or equipment so I can make the 8 separate Pip?
Hey. Buying 8 atems would be a bad idea for sure as that would make for a lot of complications.
Maybe you should look into vmix and do it with a PC, capture card and software solution.
@@heretorecord what do you mean complications?
Hey John,
Good information. I’m working out whether this unit or the atem. Mini is for me. What I want to do, multi cam live streaming of bands with good audio coming from engineers desk. Does this unit encode ready for Facebook/UA-cam or do I have to go through OBS or use an external media encoder? This unite has balanced inputs for audio which seems more convenient aside from the extra inputs for SDI cams. Cheers, Andy
Hey! If your planning on streaming right to FB or UA-cam then the mini is your best bet as you can connect via USB to a computer and stream very easily. Other atems will require you to purchase a separate device for live streaming. Cheers!
are this switcher can communication with 3 cameraman with headset and mic?
Yes.
Thanks John. Do you know if its possible to power the TVS via a battery solution?
I’m sure it is but I have no experience with this at all I’m afraid!
The lack of being able to split the audio to mono is a negative. The mini range has this ability but this unit doesn’t which is a great shame and causes issues when using certain audio devices.
Random question, looking at purchasing this product for my HoW. The VideoHub Master Control Panels offer removable buttons for customizing the labels. Do the pushbuttons on this switcher have the same capabilities?
It’s been a while since I checked, but I’m fairly confident that it does. The front should just pop off and you can insert a label of your choice!
Hi thanks for this great video.
please what would you recommend i buy to enable me take the signal from the blackmagic device into computer for streaming?
Easy steps; from BM Atem Output - BM Capture card - PC/laptop - software (Vmix/OBS) that's optional, or BM Atem Output - BM Webpresenter - PC/laptop - UA-cam/FB etc.
@@katuasmaek7018 thanks António. Is there a capture card in the form of a self powered device? I intend to use a laptop for streaming and not a desktop PC.
Thanks again
When hooking up my Sony FDR-AX100 videocam, set to HD, I get blackscreen...any suggestions?
What's your frame rate?
just a question about how to build it into a rack? Did you say it would fit in the blackmagic teranex rack?
Correct - It fits nicely on the Teranex Rack Shelf (it was built specifically for this purpose)
Presumably the fan is less effective if this was rack mounted inside say an SKB Studio Flyer case? Have you ever had it overheat/auto shut down etc?
No issues yet with overheating but it certainly gets warm when paired with a HyperDeck beside it. A couple of fans are definitely worth bringing along.
sir. How to enter a video in mdea
Thx for your video. Yes, I got a question: I know that this device is unable to capture the channels for mixing on the Mac. Is there any solution outside, with wicht I'm not only able to produce live-content on the first hand like with this ATEM Television Studio HD, but also be able to use as a capturing-box to get the cam-streams for live production software like mimo Live oder wirecast? (or do I have to buy Mini Recorders additionally?)
I’m not 100% sure what you mean, I’m afraid! But you can use a mini recorder to send the output of the ATEM into Wirecast for live streaming!
thx. I know, but output is under 60fps. I'm wondering that BM was not planning computer capturing to this device. As I know with ATEM Television Studio (the older one) it was possible to capture threw USB... Seems to be that I have to buy DeckLink additionally.
You will indeed need a capture device of some sort for the new ATEM
Are those sdi outputs sending iso camera feeds or program only.
Program only.
Bonjour
Vous pouvez m'aider avec mon atem studio television Pro quand je fais un live je n'ai pas le son. Merci
Hi, I'm looking for a switcher that would allow me to send the same source to 3 different program outputs with the option to send a different feed to different output as needed. would you recommend this?
Thanks
This ATEM TVS HD can certainly do that. It has 5 SDI program outputs and one Aux output for sending any signal you want to any monitor.
What is AFV(Audio follow video). Does it make audio from the xlr input on the ATEM overlay all the video inputs?
AFV means that when a source is live, you will hear it's audio. If I was switching back and forth from Cam1 and Cam2 with AFV on both sources, the audio would also switch back and forth between Cam1 and Cam2
Ok, thanks. Is it possible though to make an audio source, from the xlr inputs on the back of the atem, follow two cameras? In a multicam stream, so it's the same audio all the time @@heretorecord
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!
You can certainly use one computer. The ATEM Software Control doesn't require much from your system at all. You will of course need a capture card though for the streaming part!
@@heretorecord Thank you!
@@heretorecord Regarding the capture card, do you have any suggestion?
@@SebastianAdam_ro Black Magic makes several PCI-e SDI capture cards themselves that would work really well for your situation.
Hi there, is it possible to stream Facebook or UA-cam live straight from this box ?
That is not possible. You will need some sort of capture device. Something like the Blackmagic Web Presenter would do the trick.
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?
Good question and good that you checked about the frame rate/resolution. Though I suspect that is still the issue. It could be something else but it’s almost always a frame rate/resolution problem. Do you have another device that shows resolution and frame rate? Some external monitor for example?
There is an external monitor, but it does not seem to display the format and resolution of the signal.
Do you think the camera recording and HDMI output settings are different?
problem solved. It turned out that the sony a6400 always outputs 50fps via HDMI, regardless of the selected frame rate for recording. Only the resolution can be selected manually for HDMI output.
Good to hear you solved it
Hi, I have Atem Mini and Mini Pro. They are great for small events. Never the less sometimes I need 5-6 inputs and send program feed to multiplay location. In your opinion is it still worth to buy Atem TV Studio HD today?
I'm not so sure it's the best time to buy. (I have no idea at all) but I would suspect they will refresh some of the bigger ATEMs this year, so that is why I would hold off. That said, you may not want to wait around for nothing!
Quick question. So the SDI outputs labeled 5,6,7,8 send out PGM outputs right? So I could use these to feed signals to let’s say a FOH projector, a green room, etc. They don’t just pass through the video input of the corresponding SDI input right? For some reason, I can’t find information on these outputs in the official manual. I’ve been trying to find a definitive answer to this.
And I assume the same applies for the Atem Television Studio Pro 4K version as well?
Correct. They all pass out PGM so you could use them all just fine.
Same for the ATEM TVS Pro 4K as far as I know. The only difference in those PGM outputs is talkback for camera operators but that won’t matter at all for your use case.
@@heretorecord Thank you so much! I discovered your channel thru DJP and he has emphasized how accurate and reliable you are!
Hi, will it be possible to use this ATEM studio TV to live stream?
You will need a streaming encoder or another device for the live streaming part
aux what for ?
This vs the Roland V-1 HD... wich one ?
I prefer this one as it has more inputs. I’m using up to 6 inputs for some events and the Roland just can’t handle that much. With that said, the Roland is still a nice choice if 4 inputs are all you need!
Can this do picture in picture and can it store stills?
Yes to both!
Can you use the HDMI for program view?
There is no HDMI Program output on this switcher
dear....
can I record video by my laptop from usb?
tks..
You can’t - you’ll need a usb encoder of some sort - like that Magewell USB capture device.
thanks.....
give me advice. datavideo se650 or this atem television HD ???? thank you...
If you want something with a control panel, check out the ATEM Television PRO HD - it’s similar to the one in this video but is a full panel.
wow... too expensive.. compare about price, atem television HD is same price with datavideo se650. what should I buy? sorry about my english. sad...
Hi John, great videos and thanks for all the info. Not sure if someone has asked this yet? But.... Has the unit got some sort of freeze function, in the the event that you running 1 laptop like I do most of the time, always nice to be able to hold last slide of a PP Presentation and load next peresentaion or simply load the hold slide/ event logo. Asking all these questions as I am looking at investing in one of these and a freeze function would make life sooooo much easier. Do you have a possible "work around"with the above request? Thanking you in advance for your assistance.
Have a good day.
Regards
Sean from Cape Town South Africa.
Hey - freeze is not a function of the ATEM (except the brand new atem Mini they just announced!) you would have to do a lot of other gear to make a workaround right now
just a question: can I change the plugged cameras 30sec back to back without software? I can do this automatically with AUTO knob? is this function programable/settable? or how works the AUTO function? what is this function?
Do you mean you want it to change to a different camera every 30 seconds? The Auto function is a fade between two sources as opposed to the cut which is a hard edit between two sources.
@@heretorecord just I don't want to change the connected two sources manually, the question is: with the AUTO switch can I change the cameras automatically (and can I set the duration parameter? )
Not quite. The auto doesn’t mean automatic. It means a fade transition.
I need a mixer/switcher what I can set to show the image of first camera 30 sec long, and fade to second one and show that image 30 sec, and fade again back to the first camera...etc...
My Switcher is doesn’t work 1080p, only I can use 1080i.
How should I try to up to 1080p.
You could use a Decimator MDHX for the conversion
Amazing, wonderful and perfect Video switcher many thanks for your information!
I have a question!
How we can backup the mix videos could you please explain it in video like this please!
MANY THANKS,
BASIR AHMAD AHMADI
Not 100% sure what you mean I’m afraid!
I mean how we can backup the mixed videos.
Does it have any recorder?
Thanks.
Ahh I see what you mean. In that case I use another recorder. I have a Video Assist monitor and recorder which allows me to capture the edited/mixed video. The ATEM does not have a recorder built in.
Can you midi control the software using a midi device
You can indeed- the audio section can be controlled by a midi keyboard in Mackie mode. I made a video about controlling the audio part of the software.
I purchased this switcher & am using two Canon XA11 cameras but am not getting any feed out of it. The frame rates are all the same too. Any thoughts?
That’s a strange one indeed. Have you been able to connect the cameras to another tv or monitor to confirm exactly what they are outputting?
@@heretorecord I haven’t. However I did send in my laptop feed into the switcher & was able to get something from it.
I see. And what was the laptop outputting in terms of frame rate and size?
@@heretorecord 59.94 1080i
I wish i could help better but my suspicion is that the camera are not outputting what they say they are. I would connect a camera to the ATEM and try going through every frame rate setting in the ATEM to see if any work.
Question: for what is ATEM stand for?
Thanks for answering
I have no idea!
It was "Atem" before Blackmagic acquired Echolab, so it's probably just a product name rather than an acronym.
Is somebody can tell me if we can use it with two different output?
You can use program out as one output and AUX as another output. You’ll just have to change the AUX from a drop down within the software.
Is it possible to punch from source to source directly? I host a twice channel the least amount of key presses the better. Thank you
Yeah if I remember correctly you can set it up for straight cut mode in the settings. And you can use an external device too to do that
hello how are you all, now I have an ATEM blackmagie STUDIO that does not work the multiviwe that can help me to repair it I am from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, if you know I can send the equipment for its repair, I will be grateful from all of you, I repeat my BLACKMAGIE ATEM STUDIO ITS MULTIVIWE OUTPUT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY THANK YOU ALL
is there a way that i can reset it
There are a combination of buttons to press, better to reach out to Blackmagic Design support though since I do not recall the order.
HI, How Can I go to live through ATEM Television Studio HD?
You need to route the program output to a capture card/device of some sort.
Hi, do You know how to turn off this mixer?
You need to unplug it from the power. Or use a power strip with an on/off switch.
Have you tried using Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD with Vmix software (www.vmix.com) as a media control for live streaming.
I want to buy Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD. but very doubt it can't be used in Vmix software. because I've been using vmix for video mixer software in live streaming so far, is this competent with vmix software. if you have a tutorial, please make a video. thank you
Think is only used as an outside switcher.. Or have your try out ?
Does it work with Wi-Fi?
You computer can be connected to WiFi and control the ATEM however there can be issues with this. It’s best to used a wired connection.
This mixer have supersource ?
No it does not
I think having the program screen down there is annoying. bearing in mind that you have to hold it up for you to operate it. I dn't know what position they expected the users to use it. It's a major con for me.
Maestro, they expect you to either hook it to a laptop and run software on that, or into a monitoring panel, which they sell. You'll notice the MULTIVIEW HDMI output on the back panel. That's what it's for. Plug a HDMI monitor into it. This unit is best suited to being put in a rack mount with monitor panels, such as the Smartview Duo from them. I've also hooked a small laptop using the Ethernet CONTROL plug into a small switch, and then viewed the unit on that laptop using BM software. Works great. Not sure if this unit allows the same, but I bet it does.
I'm unimpressed. Having 4x SDI and 4x HDMI was the only plus. Not having a reasonably priced control surface is a killer. And still no way to play media without paying much more. Yahn.
And now I find out it does not do capture. This thing is a step backwards.
No HDMI program output. Thanks for the warning. I Nearly bought it. Went with the Roland instead.
las entradas de video son muy delicadas, tengo este equipo y ya se dañaron las entradas y salidas de video
The end.
I am so sad and disappointed from BM that does not include and HDMI program out, why only SDI? screwed it up.
I guess they figured most people would pair the device with the Hyperdeck Mini which will then allow you to have a HDMI out.
Hy how much this one
1k
The difference between 1080i and 1080p isn't noticeable at all in camera footage.
I’ve found many examples where it is different. It’s especially true on some cameras that use 1080i but wrap it in p and lines get very jagged. There are many examples of course where it doesn’t matter either way.
