Hi,
Read the manual for the new Studio Cameras and could not find a solution. I wonder with them being new if the ATEM's have yet to catch up?
I am piecing together a studio with (3) Studio Camera Pro models all connected to an ATEM mini pro ISO. Here's my hiccup:
The 'Pro' version is $500 more than 4k, and even though there are a ton of features I might not use, the $500 difference is probably worth it for the talkback, XLR inputs, and better screen resolution. Problem is I cannot find a talkback solution for an ATEM mini. The ATEMs with talkback do not have the ISO recording features and that is a huge thing to be allowed to do, so I have to count those higher end models out.
The problem with the ATEM mini's are no XLR inputs and no talkback. Basically, with the ATEM mini, a director can control the camera settings as well as discreet audio settings from the cameras XLR's. I want to have that since we will have volunteers and students running camera and the less they need to know, the better. Having that finished Resolve project file for tweaking in post is crucial as well.
Is there a talkback system with pass-through or a solution anyone knows how to integrate? If the director is controlling video and audio at the switcher, I don't know how to integrate the communication headsets. It would be nuts switching back and forth between headsets.
Tried calling support, but apparently they require a serial number before assisting, and BMD 'sales' would not be able to help either, according to the operator. So, I am asking here.
Thanks in advance. Ned.
