I ended up using a BMD Ultrastudio SDI via USB 3.0 to output Pro Presenter via SDI. Just couldn't get a picture to show up on a ME 2 4k.

I can't remember for sure, but I don't think it was playing nice with my Macbook Pro via HDMI 720p 59.94 SDI out.

I have a feeling it would increase the price quite a bit. It lets you convert your displays to fully scalable screens, manage display configuration overrides, allows brightness and color control, provides XDR/HDR brightness upscaling (extra brightness beyond 100 for compatible displays with Apple Silicon Macs), full dimming to black, helps you create and manage virtual displays (dummies) for your Mac. Even Tricasters can do it, Ross Carbonite etc, but they are much more expensive than BMD. I think that's what sets the higher end switchers and BMD switchers apart is the ability to accept all different types of resolutions.

Though I can see them not mixing the ntsc and pal ones together. If you are 29.97, 59.94, 30, or 60, progressive or interlaced, it should handle it. The old ATEMS did that, when they were owned by EchoLab. You should be able to mix resolutions in these units. In fact, they ought to handle completely different resolutions without a hiccup. That said, I also think the ATEMs should all be far more forgiving on their inputs. That is screwed up, and obviously, OSX has somehow screwed up the output. I really think it is odd that the macs are not outputting something that the ATEM 4k will accept.

I will try and get our profile saved and can then email/ Dropbox this if you need them. This is a cheap fix for getting graphics into the Atem that you can't store in the media library especially for animated lower thirds when using the TVS as this can't store animated graphics.

We use the SwitchRes on the second screen output as 108050i so that it matches our regular camera settings, but then keep the primary screen at 1080p as this is a slightly better viewing resolution in our trucks. Save the SwitchRes profile and set it as the default settings for your machine Make the secondary screen settings the same as the input required for your Atem - exactly!ģ. Make sure the settings you are changing on SwitchRes are for your second screen output not the primary.Ģ.

The biggest problem with the Mac mini is the second screen output switches from the HDMi to the thunderbolt at set up which throws things a bit.ġ. I too couldn't get the standard Mac profiles to work and at $30 or so for the software it was worth the try. We had a few little glitches getting switchers set up to begin with but now all is simple. The best Windows alternative is Dual Monitor Tools, which is both free and Open Source.If that doesnt work for you, our users have ranked seven alternatives to SwitchResX, but unfortunately only one of them is available for Windows. We have a selection of Atems 1me, studio 4k and tvs's. SwitchResX is not available for Windows but there is one alternative that runs on Windows with similar functionality. We have used SwitchRes for some time on all of our machines. I'm not in front of any of our BMD Atems at the moment to give you exact settings but it's not too much of a problem. Hope the reply isn't too late to be helpful.
