    Use ATEM in 24/7 environment?

    Posted by Chase Mayo on September 5, 2012 at 3:44 pm

    Hello,

    We run a webcast that broadcasts 24/7. We are looking to purchase an ATEM 1M/E or Studio to be our master control switcher – meaning our other feeds will come into the ATEM, then the ATEM will output to our live stream. However, in using this setup, the ATEM will have to be running 24/7/365 with a weekly reboot of the system. Has anyone ever used an ATEM in this capacity?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
    Chase

    I would recommend to insert a Videohub into the chain. If you have to reboot the ATEM you can easily switch to a backup source.

    Cheers
