Major announcements from Blackmagic Design

Not just some new products and technical updates from Blackmagic Design. No, these are major new products and massive technical updates.

Are we looking at the world’s most affordable 4K studio?

The latest products in the Blackmagic stable have completed a jigsaw puzzle that has everyone from corporate producers to television studio owners seriously taking notice. Kitting out a studio with three cameras, switcher, tally, talkback and remote camera set up, has traditionally only been within the reach of national broadcasters such as the BBC and Sky. Now, because of Blackmagic’s vision, more modest budgets can realise broadcast standard HD and even 4K UHD workflows.

A little update with very big implications

What’s new in ATEM 6.0? Blackmagic’s support page (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/support/readme/1496) explains that there are a mere two parts to the update, one of which is the launch of a new GUI.  This is a really nice tweak meaning that you can now run the ATEM Control Panel full screen regardless of resolution.
