Atem television studio 4k only embed 2 Audios

PostWed Jul 11, 2018 7:54 am

I bought the new Atem television studio 4k and have to produce 2pair of embedded Audio (PGM stereo and natural stereo).
All my Inputs have this 4 Audios embedded already, but Atem only passes the first stereo to PGM output.
What can I do to use all four? I only use AFV and do not want to touch any Audio.
Thanks for your help

Yeah this sucks doesn’t it.

Why can’t it do what you want? Because it is half finished and pretty poorly designed.

What you can do is buy all audio de-embedders. De-embed before entering the video mixer, Mix audio on a seperate audio desk.. And re-embed the audio after the video mixer.

Take a digital audio mixer compensate for frame delays produced by the Atem.

But to be honest.. I don't know any videomixer that does multi audio tracks mixing trough the mixer.. All OBV's do De-embedding or seperate audio tracks over fiber..

So the way you run your setup is not very common used..

The Panasonic HS410 et al can pass all embedded audio through the switcher.

It only pass trough what comes in..(Which would be nice..) But it doesn't do anything with audio..

Also you can't choose what audio in embedded.. SO you will always get a audio follows video setup.. You only get the audio of the camera that is in pgm or aux at that moment..

Not very usefull i would say.. ;) Still needs de-embedders to run it propperly into a audioboard to downmix it.. And embedders to re-embed it into the sdi stream.. So the story doesn't change there..

Passing all audio with AFV is a lot more use than the half arsed audio mixer within the ATEM. I quite frequently need to switch between multiple hyperdecks running content with surround sound. this is a total pain with an ATEM.

Thanks for your answers.
It looks like I have to go the old fashioned way with De and re embedding :-(
How long is the latency of the mixer (hope it is always firm?) ?

1 frame in normal conditions, 2 frames when you are using the DVE function. ;)

If you are running 50 FPS that translate in 20ms per frame.
