Blackmagic released update 6.9 for their ATEM Switcher. This update adds adaptability to the multi-view by adding new features like VU Meters and the ability to swap program and preview windows. Any time a director can choose his/her preferred viewing they’ll likely work more efficiently.
The ATEM Switcher
The ATEM Switcher is one of the more inexpensive Switchers, out in the market now, and I know some broadcast stations looking to add the ATEM to their workflow. Specifically, broadcasters may be interested in the ATEM for their less important, studio B/Control room B, broadcasts like an interview show or lifestyle show.
These shows tend to fill a need by being an added venue for selling local advertising and can be less expensive than purchasing a syndicated show. If you can imagine, local TV stations love to keep the cost of these shows as low as possible. By giving themselves a second, less expensive control room, the local TV stations are able to keep their flagship sets open for any pre-produced elements that may be needed later.
