What's generally used as a sync source for ATEM rigs?

I have four fly packs with ATEM switchers, and went three different routes...

My biggest system uses a yellow brick generator. It generates tri-level, burst and word clock simultaneously, and can genlock my whole system to another reference if needed.

My next system down uses the BMD open gear sync generator, with switcher, videohub and playback decks locked, everything else freeruns.

My two smallest systems don't have any reference at all, everything freeruns.

Many options, all work depending on what we are doing, and who else we need to connect to.

But the BMD Sync Generator mini converter will be sufficient for a lot of jobs. ;)

I've got an AJA GEN10 I guess I can use that...

But:
Just figured out the HyperDeck Mini has a built in Tri-Sync/BlackBurst Generator! Hopefully that thing just does its job independent of what you're doing with the deck. If it freaks out when you change resolution or clips or when you go between record and playback then its kind of useless...

Thanks for the help!!
