Using ATEM Television StudioProSwitchers
to the speed of movement of the trackball, letting you ease in and out of your camera moves.
The amount of sensitivity may vary between remote heads.
Use the trackball to pan and tilt the selected PTZ head.
If your remote head has zoom and focus capabilities, you can use the “zoom” and “focus” knobs
to the left of the trackball to control them.
Turn the “zoom” knob left to zoom out, and right to zoom in on compatible remote heads.
Addressing Cameras using theCall Button
Pressing the call button flashes the tally lights on all Blackmagic Design cameras connected to
your switcher via their return SDI feed. This lets you send out a visual ‘standby’ indicator to all
camera operators, which is helpful for when you are about start your live production.
Using the Talkback Controls
The numbered buttons on the left side of the control panel are also used for communicating
with camera operators. You can communicate with each camera independently, or address all
cameras simultaneously.
To address each camera independently, hold down the ‘shift’ button and press any of the
corresponding buttons from 1 to 8. This is helpful if you want to talk momentarily to one
single operator.
To address all cameras, press the four direct talk buttons from 5 to 8 so they are all enabled.
This opens a direct, locked talkback signal to all cameras 1 to 8 and will stay on until you press
the buttons again. Doing so will turn the direct talk buttons off, returning the talkback to single
camera address.
The numbered buttons together with the direct talk buttons
let you communicate with your camera operators
