Using Macros
The dedicated macro buttons on your ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel lets you
record and run macros from the panel itself. Turning on the loop feature will run a
macro on a continuous loop until you press the stop button, or turn loop off.
Use the keypad under the joystick control to select
up to 100 macros to record and run. Simply type
in the desired macro number and press ‘cam’ to
select your macro to run, or macro slot to record.
Follow the steps below to create the same ‘Transitions’ macro demonstrated earlier using
ATEMSoftware Control, except this time you’ll record to macro slot 2.
1 Press macro slot button 2 in the source select bus located above the program bus,
or by using the numeric keypad.
2 Press the record button in the macros block. The record button will begin flashing
indicating you are now recording a macro. You can also see the red border displayed
around the ATEM Software Control panel.
3 Select bars on the Program bus. Depending on the ATEM switcher you’re using, you
may need to shift select bars on your broadcast panel. The button will flash if it’s a
shifted source.
4 Select col1 on the preview bus.
5 If you wish, you can easily map buttons such as bars, black, and color generators to
any of the first 20 buttons of the program and preview bus. See the ‘button mapping’
section of this manual for instructions.
