  ATEM 16:9 SD input

  Posted by Raphael Schricke on November 18, 2011 at 2:53 pm

  Hi,
  I am thinking of buying an ATEM TV Studio for our live productions.
  My question is : I read that you can input a SD Pal signal 720×576.
  But what if it is in 16:9 instead of 4:3 ? Will this be an issue for the ATEM Switcher ?
  Will it show the video in the good 16:9 format in the multiview and in the program ?

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  At this moment is can process your signal. But the multiviewer shows it as 4:3. Which makes the switcher quite unusable in SD-productions.
  I’ve mailed with Blackmagic several times since early august, but they won’t give a timeframe for when they will fix this issue with an update.

  Until then we’ll have to rent a another switcher for each SD-production, which is **#* annoying.
