To keep this short, I purchased a pair of Pocket Cinema 6ks (one 6k, one 6k Pro) from Spring to Summer of 2021 and proceeded to install the software on it. Computers were purchased in early '21 and shipped with 10.15.7 Catalina on it. One runs Davinci Resolve and is reserved for video. The other is for Pro Tools/audio/music studio work but also runs the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO (which has whatever installer was compatible with Catalina --- I'll have to switch computers to confirm but from the Support page it looks like 8.5.3 was the last that could be installed with OS Catalina. *I do realize ATEM questions belong in the Live Production forum but since my main question is about the Pocket Cinemas I am posting this question here. Mods, if you need me to break this into two separate posts in different forums, please forgive me and let me know. Main question is most certainly the cameras right now though).
I'm in-between projects at the moment so it's now or not at all for quite some more time. I thought it might be worth updating the camera software and of course once I had downloaded the installer I noticed that I need at least 10.11 Big Sur to do so.
For a variety of reasons I don't really need to bore anyone with, I'm persistently hesitant to change the Mac OS on computers. When something is stable and working, I tend to seek to preserve that at all costs.
Having said that, can anyone "sell" me on the value of updating the software on the cameras? Then I peruse through the forums and see people having had issues with software updates and the anxieties hit again. Everything is working right now!!! What am I really missing out on by staying behind with 7.3???? ATEM?? (I do realize most people do this all the time without a second thought)
Thanks,
Sean
