Constellation HD 2 M/E - change USB video source

PostSat Jun 11, 2022 6:19 pm

I'm trying to understand all the new features of my new 2 M/E Constellation-HD - wow! :D

I do have one hiccup: The Video signal sent to the USB connected device seems to be the PROGRAM output of M/E 2 (labeled "Program" on the software control panel), with no way to change it to M/E 1's PROGRAM - or any other source.

I've looked through the front panel config, the USB setup, the main menu preferences and the "gear" settings, as well as the (way way too long) manual and didn't see anything obvious - but am the first to admit that it would be easy to miss something!

If this is indeed hardcoded to M/E 2, I'd like to suggest a firmware update to add the "usb output" to the list of configurable outputs.

From Blackmagic tech support:
Webcam output of our ATEM switchers included the program video. There is not way to assign it to different sources like auxiliary outputs.

Best regards,

No indication of any interest in changing this behavior...

Sigh.

It's always been PGM out on all Products that had a capture feature since 2012 ( Original Atem series ) ;)
