Canon XA20 and ATEM Television

PostFri Oct 24, 2014 8:11 pm

Dear Community,

we are using an ATEM Television Studio and want to connect a Canon XA20.
The ATEM runs in 1080i 50.
Does anyone know whether the XA20 works with HDMI-connection?
The datasheet and manual from Canon does not tell me, which formats the camera outputs!

On atemuser.com I found the information that XA10 and XA 25 will work - but nothing about XA20.

Thanks in advance

As far as I know the HDMI output of the Canon XA20 and XA25 should be equivalent (the XA25 also has an SDI output which the XA20 lacks). In the menus for the XA20 (or XA25) there should be a setting for the HDMI output format. You'll probably want to set this HDMI output setting to 1080i otherwise the camera may output 1080p which is not supported on the Television Studio.

Thank you for your fast reply. That´s what I concluded as well.
We will try it next week and I will post my results here.
