We also have the ability to produce multiple events on a given day–sometimes running multiple video switchers for the same client in different rooms and other times for different clients at different locations. I have multiple switcher solutions, depending on the requirements of the particular live event that I am producing on a given day. The ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K is now my go-to Blackmagic video switcher as it is an all-in-one switcher and control surface with scalers on each input.
Ultimately, the lack of an affordable control surface meant that I gravitated to my hardware switchers more often, instead of feeling limited by using a software control panel only.
Over the years, the 1080/60i resolution didn’t match my progressive HD and 4K workflows, and the lack of internal scalers meant I often had to run several external format converters. I loved it for its combination of HDMI, SDI, and XLR inputs with dedicated multiview, program, and several aux outputs. The 1 M/E became a key part of my kit and earned me a lot of money over the years. It has been eight years since I first reviewed and then purchased the Blackmagic ATEM 1 M/E video switcher, which was launched in 2011, along with the ATEM Television Studio.
