I know some Black Magic isn’t that user friendly.
It's not so much that, BM kit packs a lot of functionality into a small space etc, but with respect it's for ad-hoc set ups, most of it has no redundancy capability, so as others have pointed out you really wouldn't want to use it in your main 24/7 output chains
Yes, that's what I was getting at. I'd happily trust it in an edit suite, or maybe in an SNG provided you can patch around it, but I wouldn't say it's robust enough to be a station router.
