With SwitchResX it is very easy to adjust the resolution of your screen to suit any application or use. Hope the reply isn't too late to be helpful.While you take advantage of the benefits of the Retina screen of our MacBook to work or watch movies, we can automatically switch to HD-TV resolution when starting the DVD player or to the usual resolution of the projector when opening Powerpoint. 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. We have used SwitchRes for some time on all of our machines. We have a selection of Atems 1me, studio 4k and tvs's. We had a few little glitches getting switchers set up to begin with but now all is simple. I too couldn't get the standard Mac profiles to work and at $30 or so for the software it was worth the try. 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. Make sure the settings you are changing on SwitchRes are for your second screen output not the primary.Ģ. 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. 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. 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. I will try and get our profile saved and can then email/ Dropbox this if you need them.

I really think it is odd that the macs are not outputting something that the ATEM 4k will accept. That is screwed up, and obviously, OSX has somehow screwed up the output. That said, I also think the ATEMs should all be far more forgiving on their inputs. In fact, they ought to handle completely different resolutions without a hiccup. You should be able to mix resolutions in these units. The old ATEMS did that, when they were owned by EchoLab. If you are 29.97, 59.94, 30, or 60, progressive or interlaced, it should handle it. Though I can see them not mixing the ntsc and pal ones together. I think that's what sets the higher end switchers and BMD switchers apart is the ability to accept all different types of resolutions. Even Tricasters can do it, Ross Carbonite etc, but they are much more expensive than BMD. I have a feeling it would increase the price quite a bit. 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. Just couldn't get a picture to show up on a ME 2 4k. I ended up using a BMD Ultrastudio SDI via USB 3.0 to output Pro Presenter via SDI.With many of us knowledge workers working from home in the COVID-19 era, our trusty Apple MacBook’s retina displays often need a bigger friend to take over the display duties. It’s no fault of our MacBook’s though - this is the tradeoff we make for portability. The problem starts when we start hooking up an external monitor to match the clarity and DPI of the MacBook’s retina screen i.e., a 4K or 5K monitor. Now, the external display can be on par with the retina screens' crispness and clarity.ĤK monitors have only recently become mainstream. This, though, is the root of the problem. The refresh rate on the MacBook retina displays is 60 Hz, which means the screen updates with new images 60 times each second.
