Using External ATEM Hardware Panels
Joystick and M/E Pattern and Key Buttons
Joystick and Numeric Keypad
The Number Pad is used to enter numerical data. For example, when setting the transition rate, the
number pad can be used to enter a numerical value. When entering data using the number pad,
the soft buttons below each parameter are used to apply the entered data to that parameter.
The joystick and numeric keypad are shared between the M/E 1 and M/E 2 control blocks.
They are context-sensitive which means any adjustments you make with them will solely be
applied to the M/E control block in which you are currently working.
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 an ATEM 1 M/E or 2 M/E model switcher. This is an extremely
powerful tool for controlling pan, tilt and zoom on remote cameras, also known as PTZ control.
You can easily control a bank of cameras one at a time by selecting each camera using the
system control soft buttons, then making your adjustments with the joystick.
Connecting a Remote Head
Your ATEM Broadcast 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.
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 1 M/E or 2 M/E model
switcher via the RS-422 port labeled ‘remote’ on the rear panel.
