ProRES is nice but it’s not a panacea. The value of h.264 is in fast small file transfers, like I need to do for a lot of clients who want near instance YouTube availability.

Does this fix the issue and add increment to the ATEM software?

I’m hoping for an answer here too, since the MS Surface is using Ivy Bridge as well and would make a dapper little streaming device, wouldn’t it?

I use a Western Digital TV Live + which plays back just about anything. The only downsides are the interface which appears over HDMI and can get in your show, but there’s a massive hacking community and I’m researching firmware that circumvents this.

Neil’s suggestion is a good one. The compatibility matrix with BMD is pretty complex and in the PC world it could be anything from memory to PCIe bridge to who knows what and it could even be two approved components conflicting with each other in weird ways. The great thing about BMD on MacPro hardware is that it will just work, or something is definitely broken/hardware failure.
First test, pop into a MacPro.
As mentioned by others: BIOS updates, Driver updates (video cards too) and firmware updates all rank as possible culprits.

Don’t mind Bob. He gets condescending from time to time, especially when defending “his” vendors. I’ve had my challenges with BMD support and think you should point out when you aren’t happy or need help.

Another option is the fairly inexpensive any in/ any out converter from Grass Valley at 1200, which gives you a scaler and converter for any of those inputs. I added one to my list with the ATEM to provide conversion and scaling for computers/game consoles and any other odd source of video that might not conform.

You could possibly put a DHCP server on your laptop, but yeah, the best way is to put a quick little switch (there’s some decent 19″ rackable ones at that price point as well) and manually address your machines. I’m setting up with a TV Studio in a gator case and though I’d love to keep the 1RU for something more useful than what amounts to wiring, it seems like the best way.

The comment about the driver hook is that if you use a BMD capture card now, you can select it as an input to Adobe Media Encoder. When you do so, you are encoding whatever is connected to the card.
Since the 900$ switcher has software interface, I would assume there needs to be some kind of virtual camera driver for the AME to recognize so that it could encode the program stream from the software.
