Sorry Joshua but a change log should list everything done to the switcher, regardless of how minor you think the change is. Blackmagic clearly don't have the resources to check compatibility with a wide range of equipment and you seem to of abandoned the use of beta testers with the ATEM line at least.
Proper change logs are kind of standard practice from other manufacturers have a look at
http://tvone.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?ai ... %2bupdates for an example of the kind of info we are used to getting from manufacturers.
If Blackmagic intends to be seen as a serious broadcast company then treating the users like serious broadcast users is essential. A lack of changelog info combined with frequent firmware updates and shipping products which do not meet their advertised specification is a sure fire way to alienate professional users.
I'm very supportive of Blackmagic, the ATEM line and the possibilities which these switchers can offer, however the current lack of information regarding changes is embarrassing and something which ultimately makes it difficult to fully recommend the products to clients.
Cheers
