Send each camera to one Aux output each. I'm assuming that program audio can be set to be embedded in the camera SDI? It's not just going to route the camera input as is back out the Aux without embedding the program audio?
That would leave 3 additional aux outputs.
Aux outputs are not loop outs, they are synced to ATEM's timing and carry audio/timecode.
I'm going to still route everything through the Smart VideoHub for some added flexibility.
Definitely do this. I have the 4ME sending all inputs/outputs through the router, which makes troubleshooting and changes very easy. It's like this in an OBV for a reason.
With the URSA's it has a ref/tc input, but it is an either or situation. If it recognizes genlock it uses it, if it sees timecode it uses it as timecode. For this switched scenario, I'm not so worried about sending TC to the cameras as they won't be recording. More important to have sync between everything even though I know the ATEM can re-sync.
The Ursa can sync using the SDI return feed used for talkback/CCU/tally. If you search on the Live subforum there are posts about it. If you're going to run another SDI to each camera, I would use that and not just reference input.
