Hi folks,
we’re doing live webinars (over 2 hours) using the Black Magic ATEM Mini Pro and need a new camera—either the Sony Alpha 7S III or Sony FX3. (We are also going to use it for video production.)
Only the FX3 allows disabling Power Saving Mode, so if I output via HDMI, it definitely won’t shut off.
The Alpha 7S III however might turn off after 30 minutes. If I connect the A7S III via USB-C to HDMI, it might stay on, but I’m not sure.
Is using USB-C for output a reliable solution, or should we go with HDMI and get the FX3?
cheers & thanks,
Tim
