Using External ATEM Hardware Panels
Source Names Display
The source names display uses labels to represent the switcher’s external inputs or internal
sources. Labels for the external inputs can be edited on the settings tab of the software control
panel. Labels for the internal sources are fixed and don’t need to be changed.
Pressing the SHIFT button changes the source names display to show extra sources, called
shifted sources, allowing selection of up to 40 different sources.
When aux has been selected in the system control block, or in the M/E 2 destination bus,
pressing the two SHIFT buttons simultaneously will change the source names display to show
protected sources, available for routing to auxiliary outputs. Protected sources are program,
preview, clean feed 1 and clean feed 2.
Program Bus
The program bus is used to hot switch background sources to the program output. The source
currently on air is indicated by a button that is illuminated red. A blinking red button indicates
that the shifted source is on air. Pressing the SHIFT button will display the shifted source.
Preview Bus
The preview bus is used to select a source on the preview output. This source is sent to
program when the next transition occurs. The selected source is indicated by a button that is
illuminated green. A blinking green button indicates that the shifted source is on preview.
Pressing the SHIFT button will display the shifted source.
SHIFT
The SHIFT button provides a global shift and is used to shift the program, preview and
select busses along with source labels. It also provides a shift for the transition type
and joystick and other menu functions.
Double-pressing buttons in the preview, select and destination busses, as well as the
transition style buttons, is the same as shift-selecting them and can be a faster way to
shift-select buttons. Double-pressing is not implemented for the program bus as it
would cause the program output to momentarily show the wrong source.
Destination Bus and Select Bus
The destination bus gives you 1 key access to make changes to sources in your cuts and fills,
borders and dip colors, stinger fills and cuts, DVE logos and cuts, and down stream fills and
cuts. To assign a source to one of these destinations, select any destination in the Destination
bus and make your source selection in the Select bus below it.
The destination bus works in conjunction with the source names display and select bus to
assign sources to auxiliary outputs and keyers.
The source names display and select bus together show you the routing of sources to keys and
auxiliary outputs. The currently selected source is indicated by an illuminated button. A blinking
button indicates a shifted source. A green illuminated button identifies a protected source.
Protected sources are program, preview, clean feed 1 and clean feed 2.
DEST SHIFT button
To access the shifted destinations in the destination bus, hold down the DEST SHIFT
button at the right side of the bus and make your selection.
CUT/KEY
When a key setup menu is selected and a CUT/KEY button is pressed, the select bus changes
to show the currently selected cut signal (also known as the Key signal) for that key. When
selecting sources for auxiliary outputs, pressing the two SHIFT buttons displays program,
preview, clean feed 1 and clean feed 2 as sources for selection on the select bus.
