ATEM Refence

PostMon Oct 02, 2023 10:07 am

Hi,

Is there a table to show compatible refence signals for different video formats for the ATEMs, or is it a case that they only work with a refence signal that matches the frame rate?

For example I would like to know if it is possible to feed the ATEM a 1080i50 refence signal, but set the ATEM to be 1080p50.

Specifically I am looking at the ATEM Constellation 2 M/E, but would also like to know if this is possible on the old ATEM Television Studios.

Thanks
Seb

On ATEM for p50, p59.94 and p60 use 1080i50, 59.94 or 60 respectively. You could also use black burst of the same rate but tri level is a better reference. This applies to both HD and UHD signals. I hope this helps.
