56:20 You would use multiple M/E for mixing the same inputs to different outputs. For instance, you might be mixing a church service or large event to both a live stream and large screens in the room (IMAG). You wouldn’t want to use a lot of wide shots on the screen in the room, but for your live stream, you might want to have the viewer feel like they are there. Same cameras also, the 10 series panel & the 20 series panel both allow you to switch between four M/E. You can only work on one mix at a time, but you can switch between them on the fly. This is also why they have multiple multi-views.
Thank you for this video. Blackmagic tends to think more of its own ecosystem than use cases. There is an entire market that BM dropped the ball on - the mid-level events market. They did this by changing the configuration of the Television Studio HD. That would have been a great ballroom device because it had four HDMI and four SDI inputs. The device had 2 big things missing and one small one - it didn't do resolution conversion (in ballrooms and mid-sized events 1080p is king), it didn't have enough flexibility on the SDI outs (the could have all been assignable to whatever) and the cut button was too small. (most important button). The obvious evolution would be to fix those things, replace USB 2.0 with a couple of USB-Cs, add record function, make the dedicated AUX out assignable like the program out and BOOM! Most ballroom/mid events use computers for video playback and powerpoint/keynote, etc. The HDMI ins for those + the camera/SDI ins (many mid-level events are 3-camera shoots) made that an ideal device. Many were hoping that the ATEM extreme series would be a hybrid device like the television studio HD, and it could have been. BM decided to ignore that market for some reason, where it could have sold massive amounts of ballroom and breakout room switchers and opted for competing with Grass Valley and Ross for bigger markets. They could have done that and still developed a great mid-tier product line but instead, they choose to try to try to eek out more money in converter sales and overshoot with all SDI input products. The podcast community is happy, as are the small broadcast operations who can't afford Carbonites or the likes, but the mid-level operations are left wanting. Sorry for the rant. BM is great and annoying at the same time. Sux
Thank you Henning! I was so inspired by the video you did several years ago, i finally bought my first switcher on sale at Christmas for $265, & also a Zoom LiveTrak L8 just for audio production for video. I'll be starting teaching guitar lessons next month online. Only using 2 cameras, so my demands are minimal. So thanks for the info, & the inspiration. Yep, it's all your fault, lol! BTW, I hope Sweetwater doesn't hate me, but I went with the switcher/streamer that has an off/on button, & records to the SD card I installed, yet looks very much like the ATEM Mini.

They should lose some of those useless wipe buttons on some of their devices and make them assignable function buttons. Most switchers ride the cut and dissolve buttons. Simple wipes > useless 80s wipes.
I’m just looking at your pingüino and your voice matches it and makes me think it’s talking to me 😅 great video!

ROFL - "still, no ON and OFF switch". Man you're passionate.

Diamond wipe?
