I've got the Atem Mini Pro Iso and one Ursa Mini Pro G1 and two Pocket 4K cameras. The Ursa is connected using the Bi-Directional SDI/HDMI 3G converter using HDMI and dual BNC connections. The Pockets are connected via HDMI. While I'm learning the ins and outs of this set-up, two things came to mind that if anyone can answer:
1) When I'm recording RAW to the Pockets and URSA, the Pockets get the Project Name as the file name on the camera. The URSA retains the standard reel/date/timecode file naming convention. Is this because the kind of control that the bi-direction converter exerts over the URSA is different than the HDMI connections to the Pockets, or because the URSA software is on an older rev of the camera software than the pockets. I know it probably doesn't matter in the end, but I'd like to know why they're different.
2) When I have my HDMI feeds in Multi-view, I tend to show the camera overlays so that I can see rolling time-code, audio meters and histograms. I also like seeing the buttons and t/c turn red to confirm that we're rolling. Is there any way to toggle the overlays on and off without going to each camera and manually switching them off? If the overlays are switched off, is there any way to know for sure via the Atem software that the cameras are recording internally without going to each camera and checking their talley lights?. I really wold love some sort of confidence check without burning the overlays into the footage that records on the ISO.
