Review: Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD - Studio DailyReview: Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD - Studio Daily

studiodaily.com

The ATEM Television Studio HD is a solid choice for budget-conscious video producers, boasting impressive standalone functionality and user-friendly controls. However, the glaring absence of an HDMI output is a significant oversight that can lead to frustrating workarounds, particularly in live settings. While the compact design and ease of use earn points, awkward button placement hampers usability, especially when not rack-mounted. It's a worthwhile upgrade for those needing 1080p capabilities, but existing ATEM users might want to hold off unless they face reliability concerns with their current setup.

At 26:24, he says "Moving over here, we have the Matroxes, which run my camera system." Just below the three Matrox encoders, we can see the Blackmagic video mixer, which he uses to switch between his screen recording, face camera, keyboard camera, and room camera during YouTube livestreams. This video system was probably set up some time around September or October 2019, since videos of Daniel Caesar and James Copus, recording "Time Alone with You" have been posted on Jacob's Instagram.
