Dear all,
I assume a bug in the firmware is causing the preview of Key1 being disabled once switching back from the program to the preview status via the 'CUT' transition button on the device.
Since this doesn't happen when using the 'CUT' transition from the Atem Software Control application, I assume it is a bug in the firmware of the Atem Mini Extreme (ISO). It is the ISO this bug has been discovered in.
The steps to reproduce this bug are as follows:
1. Turn on the PVW BKGD + KEY 1 in the Atem Software Control ('ASC' hereafter);
2. Cut to PGM using the ASC app
3. Cut back to PVW using the ASC app
The result of step 2 and 3 are as expected. Key 1 stays on screen and is ready to go live via the CUT transition of the ASC app.
Now repeat step 2 but CUT to PGM via the hardware panel of the Atem Mini Extreme (ISO).
Okay, so far so good.
Now step 3, CUT back to PVW via the hardware panel of the Atem Mini Extreme (ISO).
Ouch! Key 1 has been disabled by the firmware of the hardware.
Repeat steps above with Key 1 and Key 2 enabled (or all four of the KEYS at the same time).
The result of cutting to PGM via transition button on the device is as expected.
However, when cutting back to PVW via CUT on the device, KEY 1 and KEY 2 are being disabled by the firmware of the device. This does not happen whan cutting between PGM and PVW via the ASC app.
I hope the next firmware update will have solved this problem as described.
Thank you in advance!
Happy streaming,
Peter
