Hello Nathan. The ATEM Downstream Keyers are linear keys only and do not have chroma key capability. To do what you want you could use the Upstream Keyer Chroma Key on the TVS (or any model) and still be able to transition between backgrounds as you indicate. Once the Chroma Key is On Air, disable the “Key” button and enable the “Backgrund” button and you will be able to switch and transition as you wish. The Chroma Key source may be any input on the switcher, not just from he media pool. I hope this helps.

Hello Jacob. I may be miss understanding something. When you say the Blackmagic Production cameras only do 24P, what do you mean? All of our cameras run at 23.98P as well as 24P. Which Blackmagic camera are you using.
As for the camera output. Many cameras will output 29.97 even though the record frame rate is 23.98. Your camera may be automatically setting a typical video output rather than the record rate.

Many users find it necessary to add from 1-3 frames of audio delay to match the video. It is important to understand the ATEM TVS and Production Studio 4K will only have a delay from 1 line to 1 video frame as necessary to match up the sources. However, there are often external delays such as camera, projection or scaling that may be done outside of the switcher. There are ways to do this with either switcher model.

Hello Leonardo. Since you say early on, you wish to produce 1080P, I would like to point out the ATEM Television Studio only does 1080i and 720P. The TVS does have the digital audio input which is easy to interface as you have stated. You may consider the ATEM Production Studio 4K which costs just a little more than the TVS but has capability for 1080P and has balanced analog audio in and out. Just a thought but I wanted to point out the TVS only does 1080i.

Hello Nate. Glad you were able to sort it out. The best place for training for ATEM products is YouTube. There are many videos covering all aspects of the switchers from users. Of course specific questions may be answered via this and our forum.
The Resolve live grading is not a suitable replacement for video shading in the way you probably want to do it. It is designed for on set grading and defining “looks” for post production.

The knob is the volume control for the speaker. The manuals are available in the Support section of the web site. You may easily skip the registration process if you like.

Hello Samuel. Since you mentioned the U-Verse component analog connections, I though I would offer my experience. I don’t record any of those signals, but all three of my U-Verse receivers deliver poor sync signals to all three of my monitor/TV’s when using the component output. I can see this on the monitors especially when there is a bright background and/or bright titles. We would call this an APL (Average Picture Level) issue in the analog days. The digital outputs are fine which I normally use. Your receivers may be fine but I thought I would point this out as it seems to be a poor quality analog output on all of my receivers. They are now a year old but were that way from the beginning. If you connect your component signals directly to a monitor and see flashing during bright content, then I would suspect this would also cause issues during recordings.

This is a signal issue in the cable to the monitor which is probably aggravated when more gear is loading the power supply. The 30” monitors require a special dual link DVI cable which when short should work fine. If longer than 15’, a special extension cable, usually with an active equalizer is necessary. Maybe changing the cable would work, but I would not recommend any copper extension for this type of display as it becomes difficult to tune out the noise. There is an adjustment on the equalizer which you set for minimum sparkle by eye. I highly recommend a fiber optic extension type of solution. These work well and should solve your problem.

I would like to offer having written a few lines of code controlling decks, that it is not possible ever to cause “severe physical tape damage” by any controlling device connected to the RS-422 serial port. Incorrect edits maybe but not physical damage to any tape. This would most certainly be cause by a deck malfunction or mechanical alignment.
