Connecting Video Outputs
22
There are multiple video outputs on your ATEM switcher, and they can be used to connect to a wide range
of video equipment, in all kinds of locations. ATEM includes SDI, HDMI and analog component, plus SD SDI
and composite video outputs, so you should be able to connect to equipment at any location. Descriptions
of each output connection are listed below.
SDI Program Output
This SDI output switches between SD and HD, and outputs the main program video output of the ATEM
switcher. It can be connected to any SDI based video device. The audio on this output is embedded from
the audio inputs on the ATEM switcher chassis or the ATEM audio break out cable.
HDMI Program Output
Similar to the SDI program output, this output switches between SD and HD of the main program video
output of the switcher. It can be connected to televisions, video projectors or even Blackmagic Design's
H.264 Encoder or HyperDeck Shuttle. The audio on this output is embedded from the audio inputs on the
ATEM switcher chassis or the ATEM audio break out cable.
Component Video Program Output
These three BNC connectors output analog component video that switches between SD and HD from the
main program output of the ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E production switchers. This output can be connected
to older analog equipment, encoders and video projectors for greater compatibility with equipment you
might be forced to use on location.
Standard Definition SDI Program Output
This output is down converted from high definition video and always outputs the program video feed as
standard definition on the ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E production switchers. This output is perfect for connecting
to older standard definition equipment or even when you need to generate simultaneous streams to master
or broadcast in both SD and HD at the same time. When running SD this output will be the same as the
program output. The audio on this output is embedded from the analog audio inputs on the ATEM audio
break out cable.
Composite NTSC/PAL Program Output
This output is down converted from high definition video and always outputs the program video feed, as
standard definition NTSC or PAL composite video, on the ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E production switchers.
Some locations might have old televisions or video equipment, and this composite output means you can
connect direct to these systems.
