  ATEM Production Switcher – Best Playback Software?

  Posted by Ronak Desai on October 10, 2011 at 9:05 am

  After reading up on what the ATEM can/can’t do, I realized I would need a computer hooked up to the switcher to play long clips. Does anyone have any recommendations for software like this? I found something called “PlaybackPro” which looks like it would work however it’s for a Mac and I only have access to PCs.

  I use a macbook pro, but Media Player Classic was a killer the last time I used Windows. The only thing you need to do is to ensure that you use extended desktop and the same format as your cameras for output, otherwise it wont work.

  I use a Western Digital TV Live + which plays back just about anything. The only downsides are the interface which appears over HDMI and can get in your show, but there’s a massive hacking community and I’m researching firmware that circumvents this.
