Second part first; TVS can only do certain formats http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/product ... techspecs/
1080i50, 1080i59.94, 720p50, 720p59.94.
Can use HDMI to SDI converters for longer distances (up to 100m) for all BM ATEM switcher, all inputs must be the same frame rate and resolution regardless what the conenction is.
You'll notice in the tech sheet, the SDI compliance is SMPTE 259M, 292M; in essence 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080i. It cannot do 372 (dual) or 424(3g; which in essence puts dual into 1)
On the FS700, you can change the format and resolution.
From the B&H website http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/8 ... Speed.html "BNC connector offers 3G/HD-SDI..." so it should would with TVS as long as you set it to a format the TVS will accept
Most cameras you can switch the formats so if you do select an ATEM device, make sure the cameras can do the supported format (possibly look at the 4K switcher as well; may give you some futureproofing and not that much more expensive, do not have to use is it in 4K, can use it in the same formats as the TVS)
Please note some cameras that say 60 frames are actually 59.94 (ie a lot of the JVC) which is important when looking at ATEM inputs
Hope this helps
