Preview Output - It's possible to utilize auxilliary output of the ATEM to act as a preview out.

 

Chromakeying in the ATEM - The ATEM range has two different chroma keyers, the standard and advanced chroma key. The standard will allow you to select hue and luminance levels to pull a key, whereas the advanced version allows you to use a color picker tool, has more refined controls and is faster to use.

 

Volatile vs Non-Volatile Memory - When a system that uses volatile memory loses power, that data is lost. In contrast, a non-volatile system retains its data regardless of power loss.

Overview
All Blackmagic Atem TV Studio switchers will receive added controls on their HyperDeck Studio disk recorders as it was announced by Blackmagic design. The new ATEM Switcher 6.8 update that is set to be released will be available as a free download on the Blackmagic Design website and will incur no charges for all customers owning any model of ATEM Switchers.

Features
Added Integration

With the new Blackmagic Atem TV Studio Switcher 6.8 update, Blackmagic Atem TV Studio Switchers operators will have an amazing experience with the added integration with HyperDeck Studio disk recorders. Their live production experience will be enhanced with the ability to control sources fully into the switcher. This means that any ATEM Switcher will be able to control as many as four individual HyperDecks. ATEM Switcher operators will not only be able to automatically trigger recordings or playback but also view a full list of clips for each separate HyperDeck.

Easy Set Up and Use
With the 6.8 update, Blackmagic Atem TV StudioSwitchers will be connected to HyperDeck Studio either through an SDI for video recording and playback or through an Ethernet, which allows for communication and control. The setup process is easy and basically involves assigning IP addresses to HyperDecks for communication. As soon as this step is complete, communication is established, and operators can label the HyperDecks for exclusivity on the control panel.

Playback Control
The Blackmagic Atem TV Studio Switcher 6.8 update gives operators a complete view to the list of clips in the HyperDecks connected to the switcher that matches the program format as specified by the ATEM Switcher on each SSD. This feature allows operators to order the clips as they wish, switch to the HyperDeck and cue the start frame for the HyperDeck to commence on playing.

 

Just as operators would set pre-roll for conventional tape decks, the Blackmagic Atem TV Studio Switcher 6.8 update allows users to set the pre-roll for the connected HyperDeck(s). This ensures that the video starts rolling as soon as HyperDeck gets selected as the source. This feature allows for operators to commence or end a playback, shuffle, jog or achieve other different control mechanisms over the clips being played. As soon as a clip reaches its end, it freezes on its last frame, and the HyperDeck has stopped automatically.

Instant Replay
With the Blackmagic Atem TV Studio Switcher 6.8 update, switchers connected to HyperDecks will be able to replay clips instantly. Through the use of custom macros, it is also possible to record camera feeds real-time onto a HyperDeck. The video can then be replayed in real-time using different speeds such as ½ and ¼ speeds using the macro. This ensures that operators using high frame rated cameras (such as HyperDeck Studio 12G, HyperDeck Studio Pro ATEM Production Studio 4K, or Broadcast Studio Models) will be able to get a very high-quality slow-motion recording and playback.

Other Features
Language Support

In addition to the wide range of high-performance features that the ATEM Switcher 6.8 update brings, customers can now use their selected language for operation. Originally, ATEM Switchers could only support English, Japanese and Chinese but with the update, French, Spanish, German are available.

HyperDeck SSD recorders
During live productions, operators can use HyperDeck SSD recorders for live production, and this is possible thanks to the Blackmagic Atem TV Studio Switcher 6.8 update. This has been a top priority for Blackmagic for a very long while and now that it has become a reality, sends chills of excitements for ATEM Switcher designers and customers. With the update, customers will benefit from added benefits including instant slow-motion relays, instant playbacks for credits or spots. The best thing about the update is that current ATEM Switcher customers will not be required to pay anything for it. Coupled up with HyperDecks and Blackmagic design cameras, live production for all formats including Ultra HD (up to 2160p), HD and SDfinally has an end-to-end solution.
