I too am very anxious to see when this switcher will be released….Just got the $2,500.00 ATEM1 M/E from B&H..on Friday Aug. 19th then I realized that this $999.00 model (Television Studio)can do what The ATEM1 can do: 4 camera HDMI switcher with H.264 conversion just like The ATEM1, in addition the ATEM1 M/E may not have the H.264 capablity like this newer model does?? I would be saving about 1500 BUCS too!! Thats big!!!!
I’ll be calling Blackmagic tech support Monday to verify either way?!….going to return the ATEM1 M/E unit and try to get this newer unit instead…..giving Marketech a call also…please keep me appraised of your developments….I’ll keep you appraised of mine?!
