'''ATEM 1 M/E''' is the name of two Blackmagic Design vision mixers used by YSTV. The '''ATEM 1 M/E Production Switcher''' was originally purchased in Autumn 2013 as part of the HD upgrade, and served as the station's vision mixer until Summer 2015. The '''ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K''' is a newer model of ATEM 1 M/E which was purchased in Summer 2015 following a generous donation by Greg Dyke. It replaced its earlier incarnation as YSTV's studio vision mixer, while the original model was put to use in [[Kenobi]]. | |||

The Production Studio 4K is a 1U, half-depth vision mixer. It has many improved features over its predecessor, including a significantly increased number of SDI inputs, better cooling, and front panel display and controls - allowing the switching of the three auxiliary outputs. | |||

==== Inputs ==== | |||
The studio ATEM has the following video inputs: | |||
The ATEM has the following inputs: | * 10 6G-SDI - capable of up to 4K resolutions (whether it meets UHD specs is yet to be seen) | ||
* 1 HDMI - replaces the first SDI input | |||
This allows for a total of 10 simultaneous inputs. | |||
All inputs must be of the same format (which is set within the ATEM Control Software) otherwise the input will not be shown. As our Sony cameras can only output either 1080i50 or 576i50, we are limited to one of these formats for the entire vision path. | |||
The ATEM also has both an XLR and phono stereo pair for external audio input. | |||
==== Outputs ==== | |||
The studio ATEM has the following outputs: | |||
* 2 6G-SDI, 1 3G-SDI program - totalling 3 program outputs capable of 1080i | |||
* 1 HDMI program | |||
* 1 HD-SDI Multiview | |||
* 1 HDMI Multiview | |||
* 1 6G-SDI Preview | |||
* 3 6G-SDI Auxilary | |||
The ATEM also features an XLR stereo pair for external audio output. | |||
== Production Switcher (Kenobi)== | |||

The Production Switcher is a 2U vision mixer. It is notable for its minimal depth and external heatsink. While not carrying as many inputs as the newer model, it does feature both analogue input and output, making it much more compatible with older pre-HD devices. | |||

The control software that shipped with the ATEM is stored on the software drive. Blackmagic regularly release updates for both the control software, which include updates to ATEM firmware. | |||
ATEMs can be controlled by any version of the control software lower than its firmware version. However, newer control software will prompt the user to update the ATEM firmware. | |||
