Our stake is preparing to sell a Blackmagic Design ATEM Production Studio 4K. Asking $1200. Posting here before going to Ebay. Located in Queen Creek, AZ.

We used some SDI<->HDMI adapters to run SDI over existing coax to the pulpit. The sound is still the regular building sound configuration and it works great. We will try the mono audio mode for hdmi connection to our video switch where the hdmi audio would be used. Is the HDMI out port of the satell...
