Tracy, thank you for your comment, this is exactly the discussion I was hoping to have, in terms of what I would lose or gain by changing the plan to use a TriCaster.

My understanding is that the ATEM’s do have inbuilt keying, though I have to read up on how that affects me, and the difference between upstream and downstream keyers.

The TriCaster is certainly an impressive Turnkey solution, no doubt about it. A console switcher like the ATEM might be a bit more “industry like” for the students transitioning into the workforce. I could debate the pros and cons for hours!

Could I trouble you to unpack your comment about the Adobe encoder and a driver hook? I’m intrigued.

ah, starting to make a lot of sense now!

one more question, slightly more detailed: the hardware controllers feature three-way joysticks: can this be used to control remote PTZ cameras (pan, tiltm zoom)?

With the tri-caster solution, I was planning to use a third-party camera controller, but am I right in assuming that I could connect the camera control system direct to the ATEM, and have it all “in one box”? in other words, select a camera, control it, select another camera, control it, etc etc?

cheers

Thanks Bob, I really appreciate your insight.

If live streaming output is really one of the few ommissions compared to the TriCaster, do you believe it would be possible and cost effective to push a video output from the ATEM either into a computer or some other network capable device and then push to livestream using, say, Adobe Streaming Encoder or whatever?

Phil, thanks for taking the time to respond. AE does indeed indicate I have some wierd frames upfront.

I’m rendering now, but I expect your solution to be the one. I had also captured to an external USB disk.

Thanks again!

Phil, I encountered the same issue yesterday. I wondered if you ever found a solution. There’s probably been several patches to CS3 since your original post, but I’m getting that exact same behaviour now.

Any advice?
