PTZOptics Review of Black Magic ATEM Television Studio Compatibility

The new Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD includes an array of video production features such as 4 HDMI and SDI inputs, multi-view, talkback, DVE, an audio mixer, flash media players and a software control panels for Mac and Windows. This unit is perfect for broadcasters using PTZOptics 3G SDI or HDMI inputs. The purpose of our testing today is to confirm compatibility with our PTZOptics PTZ and ZCam cameras connected via either 3G SDI or HDMI.

Note: The EPTZ ZCam cameras from PTZOptics are not compatible with most Blackmagic Switchers.

When you connect your PTZOptics camera to the ATEM video switcher make sure that you navigate to the settings menu and select the video format that you would like to use. This is done by pressing the menu button and using the dial to find the settings page. Press the set button to enter the settings area and use the wheel to choose “video format.” By clicking set again, you will have the option to choose from all of the supported ATEM video resolutions.
Note: The ATEM does not feature an option for 1080p at 60 frames per second. If you would like to use your PTZOptics camera set to 1080p at 60 frames person choose the 1080p 59.94 option in your ATEM.
As you can see there is a limitation on supported resolutions when connecting a PTZOptics camera to an ATEM Television Studio HD via SDI. This is because of a compatibility conflict between SDI Level A from PTZOptics cameras and SDI Level B from the Blackmagic ATEM. Therefore 1080p at 60 and 50 frames per second will not work via 3G SDI. 1080p at 59.94 also will not work with the Blackmagic ATEM via 3G SDI. All other supported resolutions have been tested and do work.
