Just to clarify all doubts. The ATEM Television Studio does work with the Pocket Cinema Camera. You'll need to turn overlays 'OFF' to get a 1080i signal. If overlays are 'ON', the image will be a 1080p signal.
Also ensure the frame rate is set to either 25 or 29.97 to show either 1080i50 or 1080i5994.
Do ensure that you do not use a HDMI cable which is more than 5m or 16ft.
With all due respect, Darrell, have you actually tried this? If so, and if it worked, you've evidently got a different Pocket Cinema Camera to my one
.
I wonder if you're thinking that the HDMI on the Pocket should behave in the same way as the HD-SDI output from the BMCC & 4K camera? In my experience (and I've just double-checked again to make sure), it doesn't. It outputs 25p (or 29.97/30p) all the time, no matter whether the overlays are on or off. You do get a picture of sorts into an Atem TVS, but one in which the top half of the picture is interpreted as if it was one field, and the lower half the other field - which is not a usable 1080i50 or 1080i5994 signal.
So, in my experience, you can get a clean feed 25p (or 29.97/30p) HDMI signal without overlays, but not a signal that can be fed straight into a TVS, which is why (I'm guessing) BM have introduced the new Studio Camera with what might well be the same sensor and mount as in the Pocket Camera.
