Cool! Thank you for that information!

A nice feature for my old videohub-panel with my constellation now!

Holy F.....

If for real you could use the Videohub panels to route the outputs that would be amazing..

But that also implies that the Atem is running 2 protocols now? Atem protocol and Telnet Videohub protocol at the same time? Is this assumption correct Ian?

If so this would mean you can switch over any output of the mixer by simple telnet commands.. Opening a whole new level of control for the Atems...

Well seams that feature is ONLY for the latest Atems like the Constellation and Atem minis.

Just fired up my 4ME Broadcast. Atem software version 8.5.2 connects correctly. But no connection starting up from the videohub software (Version 7.0.3 Latest )

What could be is that the Older atems seem not to have gotten a real FW update in a while.. So yes it will update.. But there is nothing changed to the FW build for that particular Atem.

So my guess is that it only applies to the Constellation and the Atem mini for the moment as those have recently had a real update.

Fingers crossed these features trickle back in the older atems too.. But often not the case.....

How did I not know about this!??

Seams to be snuck into one of the latest FW updates.. BUT great addition..

Very good addition, in theory. But it it doesn't work with the ATEM Constellation, even though all is up to date on my side (and it works fine in ATEM Software Control) . Maybe Blackmagic blocked it in recent ATEM Constellation hardware versions. I think it's more of a temporary glitch than something that we will see in the future, because then they wouldn't sell any videohubs...

Videohub 40x40 is cheaper then Constellation !

I have not HW panel for Videohub .. I dont know how can I use this "new" feature ..

On which firmware-versions does it work on your side?

I understood that there is an update for constellation, in my case it does not pass from 8.1.2, to you?

It only works on the Atem minis. Unfortunately not on the constellation while the assumption was there earlier..

I put a video in the comments of this FB post with a video showing a panel be used on an Atem mini Pro..

I also tried it with my constellation. So, I hope for an update on my constellation!

Anything news on the constellation with the new firmware regarding this topic? Did't have the chance yet to try it out.

Nope dont seem to be at the moment.

so let's hope for an update

Hi Ian, does this would work with the older videohub panels as well as the new ones?!
Cheers!

The update is there !! Thanks Blackmagic !!!

ATEM Camera Control Panel starting to work ?

As @Thibaud says it has just been released for the consellation. But to me this would still be useless as the audio on all AUX outputs is always PGM audio. So it can not be used as a true video hub to e.g. route inputs to recorders for ISO recording.

Yes, forgot to mention that part! Same audio for all outputs sadly yes....
