Using Outputs
ATEM Constellation HD switchers have an abundance of general purpose outputs that can have
various inputs and internal sources routedto them. They are very similar to router outputs and
all video inputs, color generators, media players, program, preview and even color bars can
be output.
If you need an extra program output these are ideal, or if you need a clean feed before all
of the down stream keyers, then you can even select this to the output. This will give you a
program feed without a logo or bug, so you can capture this as abroadcast master for later post
production or transmission.
The outputs are extremely powerful and can be routed on the software control panel, as well
asthe hardware based advanced panel. The outputs menu available in the menu bar atthe top
of the software control panel regardless of the window currently selected so they arealways
available. The ‘outputs’ menu in the software control panel has flexible routing options for all
HD outputs. For more information, see the ‘Routing Outputs’ section.
The switcher will always perform a clean switch when an auxiliary output changes sources so
this means you can use the switcher to cut between sources on the auxiliary output cleanly
andwithout glitches.
