I’m not an expert either. I’ve learned a lot in the past year while doing research regarding the TVS and compatible cameras.

There is a difference between i and p for sure. More details you may find on wikipedia. Here is an useful link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080i

I’ve had some trouble finding compatible cameras because of those inputs. There are some websites where you may find some more details and help:

I haven’t bought the ATEM TVS yet. I don’t have enough money at this time. But I have done some more research. As far as I can see, the only way you may use the SX40HS and the ATEM TVS together is by setting BOTH OF THEM at 720p and nothing else. Didn’t see the camera is able to output 1080i or the ATEM to input the 1080p. So your only try is to set them on 720p. Good luck and leave a reply if it worked! 😀

I have a question. If my cameras have already hdmi output, may I use them with the ATEM TVS?
Shouldn’t I pay attention to the ATEM input resolution and cameras resolution?

The specs of the ATEM TVS say:

HD Format Support 1080i50, 1080i59.94, 720p50, 720p59.94
SD Format Support 625/25 PAL, 525/29.97 NTSC

Does this mean that I have to choose video cameras which have the exact resolution?

I’d like to buy these cameras but I’m afraid they aren’t compatible:
