2 constellation + 2 sets equipments = 2 networks ?

Hello,

There is a limit of 7 equipments (control panel, ccu, keyboard... ) connected to a constellation.

As I don't know the exact origin of this technical limit (network, constellation...), I would like to know If I can use two constellation without bugging on the same network ?

Thanks.

It'll be alright.

The issue is with the switchers themselves not releasing connections. So each switcher has it's own limits and not the network/control devices per-say.

I haven't sent an ATEM crash for a while. But it used to happen.

I would be curious to know the mechanism leading to this problem... I might look one day with wireshack.

Can I use one PC for administration of the two constellation if on the same network ?

You can control multiple ATEMs with Companion. Or you just change which ATEM you want to control with BMDs own software control.

Just avoid anything using WiFi for controlling an ATEM.
