Using External ATEM Hardware Panels
PTZ Setup for Remote Heads
All PTZ setup options are accessed via your ATEM Broadcast Panel’s system control soft
buttons. These soft buttons allow you to enter the PTZ soft menu so you can select cameras
and enable the joystick for PTZ control, detect connected devices, plus select the ‘baud’ rate
so you can control heads made by different manufacturers.
Once your remote heads are connected to your ATEM switcher, setting them up is easy.
To detect the connected devices:
1 Press the ‘PTZ’ soft button in the system control ‘home’ menu to access the PTZ
setup options.
2 Press the ‘Setup’ soft button.
3 Press the ‘detect’ soft button.
A message will appear in the system control LED display describing the number of connected
devices, which will also appear as camera numbers labeled on the system control soft buttons.
Simply press the buttons to select each camera head. Camera numbering is based on
consecutive order from the first remote head connected, through to the last in the chain.
Forexample, the first camera connected to your ATEM switcher will be labeled ‘Cam 1’, the
second camera daisy chained to the first will be ‘Cam2’, the third in the chain as ‘Cam 3’, etc.
If the number of connected devices that appear on the LED and soft buttons don’t match the
physical number you have connected, check that all your camera heads are powered and their
RS-422 ports are plugged correctly. Once all your camera heads are visible on your
ATEMBroadcast Panel, select each camera with the system control soft buttons and make
some quick adjustments with the joystick to check they are all working properly.
To access the PTZ buttons and enable PTZ joystick control,
press the ‘PTZ’ button in the system control home menu.
Select remote heads to control by pressing their
respective camera number soft buttons.
