I second Greg at both requests!!
Aux outputs that are routed from a source should be able to have original audio instead of replaced audio from the PGM bus. ( i would think that would even be easier to keep the existing audio instead of replacing the audio.. As it would be a simple route from > to. )
Also i really hope this "Most advanced audio mixer we ever created" will be able to embed more then stereo PGM mix into the PGM output. Because we always want to have more audio channels like a clean sub arrangements of audio that is mixed into the PGM. like:
PGM mixdown
Clean band / DJ mix
Live audience microphones
presenter / studio audio
Voiceover / commentator
Etc.
This because sometimes for external purposes you do not want to have a commentator talking over your video feed, or record all these audio subgroups and adjust the mix afterwards in post because you have too much or to less live audio or you don't need the studio presenter talking.
This is one of the most important features in broadcast audio. To embed multiple audio layers under your video.
If i want to do this now i need a rack full of Teranex 12G embedders to add 2 channels at a time..
Looking at that the Atem will be able to run 8K. I think it has enough power to do some more advanced audio embedding, expecially if i'm not using all SDI input channels.
What i also reallly would like to see if the ability to make a MV for 1 source. ( i know that sounds strange.. But what about this> ) Instead of the grid, just 1 source full screen. This would allow you to run the Atem in 4K mode. 4MV outputs in HD mode. And have a PGM output in HD for full screen monitoring. (As we do not have a HD down convert output anymore on these Atem 8K models)
Should not be a very hard option to do as you already can change it to a 4 channel MV. Why not a 1 screen full HD version?

Which would also fix if the user want it to enable you a PGM HD output.
