Using External ATEM Hardware Panels
Joystick Control
Controlling Cameras using the Joystick
The joystick can also be used to control a remote camera head using the common VISCA
protocol when connected to your switcher.
PTZ, or ‘pan, tilt, zoom’, control is an extremely powerful tool for controlling pan, tilt and zoom
on remote cameras. You can easily control a bank of cameras one at a time by pressing the
camera control button and then selecting each camera via the numbered buttons on the
numeric keypad. Make your pan and tilt adjustments with the joystick.
You can also choose the tilt direction of your joystick by selecting ‘inverted’ or ‘normal’ in the
‘VISCA control settings. Selecting ‘inverted’ will reverse the tilt action of your joystick.
Connecting a Remote Head
Your ATEM Advanced Panel communicates with remote heads via your ATEM switcher’s RS-422
port labeled ‘remote’ or ‘RS-422 serial out’. After connecting your ATEM Broadcast Panel to
your ATEM switcher via Ethernet, simply connect your ATEM switcher to the RS-422 input on
the remote camera head. RS-422 ports are typically DB-9 serial ports, or RJ11 connectors that
look similar to a standard landline phone connector.
You’ll also need to make sure the remote behavior for your switcher’s RS-422 port is set to
‘PTZ in the ‘settings’ LCD menu.
When connecting more than one remote head, they will normally be daisy chained together via
the RS-422 outputs/inputs between each head.
Connect a remote camera head to your ATEM switcher via the
RS-422 port labelled ‘remote’ on the rear panel
PTZ Setup for Remote Heads
All PTZ setup options are set using the ‘settings’ LCD menu. Press the arrow buttons to move to
the last page of switcher settings and set the remote port to VISCA. Set the baud rate to match
the rate used by your PTZ camera. Refer to your camera’s support documentation to confirm
the appropriate baud rate.
