Blackmagic ATEM Switchers Software Version 9.7 for All ATEM Television Studio Models

February 17, 2025 Blackmagic Design released ATEM Switchers 9.7 for all ATEM Television Studio models, which adds downstream key tally override that allows you to override the tally signal if the downstream key is at 100% opacity. This means if a replay is being broadcast, the tally will let the camera operator know that they are not on air, allowing the camera to be repositioned, ready for the next shot. If the downstream keyer is not fully opaque, the tally will remain red so the camera operator knows they’re on air and need to hold the shot. This update also adds support for routing the webcam source, live editing of recorded files and network storage for drives.

ATEM Switchers 9.7 update also adds the ability to upload recorded files from ATEM Television Studio to the Blackmagic Cloud as soon as you stop recording. This allows you to share footage for editing or color grading as soon as your live production is finished, speeding up the workflow for creating television shows. 
This update also adds support for SRT streaming, giving you much lower latency and more secure encrypted streams.

In addition, this update also adds support for Visca over IP camera control to ATEM Television Studio. This means you can connect up to 100 third party cameras and control pan, tilt and zoom by simply adding their IP address in the Camera Control tab of ATEM Software Control. With this update, ATEM Television Studio can control the latest generation PTZ cameras and camera heads, perfect for tracking people walking on a stage, zooming in on speakers at meetings or adjusting cameras used for security surveillance.

There are also a range of improvements to multiview including the option to remove all borders, customize border colors and the ability to enable or disable labels individually.
