I just got introduced to the ATEM production switchers at NAB and while thumbing through the slick Spring catalog I'm wondering if one of these products might be a solution for our company. We are looking to ramp up our green screen shoots -- typically two camera shoots (Panasonic HPX 370's), usually a medium shot and a close up of an instructor talking to camera. Sometimes a minimal set piece like a desk and computer. We capture to Telestream Pipeline and key in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
What I'm hoping to do is key right on the set and record at least two composited feeds to Pipeline. Our editors could then just multiclip the videos and edit in B-roll and graphics without having to key in post. And we could make sure our lighting and plates are working together.
It looks like the The TV Studio has just the program out, and although the Production Studio 4k also has the Aux out, it has only one chroma keyer. With all those outputs and the four upstream keyers on the 1 M/E, I'm guessing this would be the tool of choice?
Also, I'm wondering if the keying capability of the ATEM is convincing enough to pull this off. We are getting really good keys right now (although a little time consuming) and wouldn't want to backslide. I've seen some samples on YouTube, but would love to hear from someone with firsthand experience. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Loren
