Thanks Richard. The switcher and SRC2496 both arrived today and indeed a simple RCA-BNC cable worked great for connecting the two.

I’ve installed the 2.8 software but wasn’t prompted to update the firmware when I ran the ATEM Setup Utility while connected to the ATEM 1 M/E Switcher.

I’ve previously updated the firmware on the ATEM 1 M/E (a couple months ago) so I’m familiar with the process.

Was this a software-only release and doesn’t require a firmware update?

Will the SRC2496 connect straight to the ATEM TV switcher AES input without the impedance transformer? Say using an RCA to BNC or XLR to BNC cable without the transformer in-line?

I was reading this thread and the couldn’t tell if the transformer was used in the setup or not.

Will the setup fail or should I expect problems if I’m not using a 110-75 ohm transformer? Or is the transformer just being used as a format changer (XLR to BNC)?
