I just received my first ATEM Mini Pro, and - for the most part - it seems to be working fine. Two curiosities, however, that I'd like to get feedback on:
1. The main camera I'd like to use with the system is a Minrray 20x-NDI PTZ. It has a default 1080P60 output, although it has many 1080P and 720P options when setting up the outputs. However, no matter which video setting I choose, I'm unable to view the camera output via Camera Port 1 on the Mini Pro (either with the HDMI monitor or via the USB-C connection to computer). It works fine in Camera ports 2, 3, and 4, though. I've looked in the Mini Pro software settings, and made sure that the video input matches what the camera is outputting, and have even tried having that setting at "Auto" before plugging in the camera. What's additionally bizarre is that, when I select the raw Camera 1 preview from the drop down menu at the top of the software, I either get nothing, or I get the video stream from the camera, but it is on a slow 1 sec on / 1 sec off flicker. Any thoughts?
2. The Output HDMI port on the Mini Pro seems to only work with some HDMI TVs, and I cannot figure out why. It is not an HDMI cable issue, either, because I've tried with several cables. I've even tried through a non-powered HDMI splitter with no luck. I have one TV where it works, and a second where it doesn't. There's no indication that the HDMI ports between the two TVs are different (although, TBH, there's not much spec data on the ports for either TV).
Sorry about the long post. Hopefully someone has some input on either issue above. Thanks!
