ATEM 2M/E Panel - M/E1 to M/E2 and PGM to AUX

PostFri May 24, 2013 11:21 am

This is probably an issue that can only be fixed by BMD, but if anyone knows differently that'd be great!

I have an ATEM 2M/E switcher and 2M/E broadcast panel.

I need to M/E2 output to be the same as M/E1 most of the time, but have the ability to independently switch M/E2 from time to time. It works vice-versa M/E2 can be a source for M/E1 but this isn't an ergonomic way to work at the panel. I therefore need M/E1 to be a source for M/E2, which I can't find. (currently routing M/E1 output to a spare input, which is a waste!)

Switching sources to the AUX outputs on the broadcast panel doesn't allow for switching M/E1 or 2 PGM. This can however be done from the software. Please can this be done from the panel.

It's working as designed. Every 2+ M/E mixer I've ever seen lets you use the other M/E's as a source on M/E 1, but not vice versa. Not just Blackmagic, but FOR-A, Grass Valley, etc.
