I'm looking to replace an old Kramer switcher in the next weeks and the new ATEM TVS HD looks like a good candidate.
The use case is switching 3 cameras, 2 laptops and a Blu-Ray player to a projector in a Church. The TVS HD seems well capable of this. The one thing it doesn't have that the Kramer has is program audio out (analog).
The laptops and Blu-Ray player audio will need to be routed to the hardware audio mixer. (The cameras are not sending audio).
So I'm guessing if I want to use the TVS HD as an audio follows video switcher I will have to invest in a SDI audio de-embedder.
Unless... is the program audio output on the multiviewer HDMI output? If so I can take analog out from the multiviewer monitor. Does anyone know if there is any audio available on the multiviewer HDMI?
I'm trying not to add extra boxes and complexity. This is a church - with volunteer operators - so the simpler the better.
Also, is there only one mix bus in the TVS HD audio mixer? Is there no option to have a different mix on the AUX SDI out? I create an audio mix for distribution to other rooms (and recording) on the hardware mixer which I'd like to connect to the TVS HD analog audio input for embedding into the AUX feed which will feed the other rooms and recording.
What I need to avoid is a loop. If my hardware audio mixer is sending audio to the TVS HD and the TVS HD is sending audio to the hardware audio mixer then I could end up with a loop.
I know this is maybe not the normal set-up but I'm keen to explore if the new ATEM TVS HD would be a viable option to replace the Kramer.
