Blackmagicdesign ATEM - Setting Audio Input and Output Behaviour

Using ATEM Software Control
Set 3G-SDI Output Level
This setting is only used when connected to an ATEM switcher that supports both level A and B
3G-SDI output.
Camera Control
Your switcher’s auxiliary output can be set to monitor the ATEM camera control output. Set the
aux output by selecting ‘auxiliary 1’ from the camera control drop down menu. If you want to
change the name of the auxiliary output to easily identify it, you can change the output label in
the 'labels' settings.
You can monitor your adjustments on each camera by routing
camera control to your switcher's auxiliary output
Setting Audio Input and Output Behaviour
The 'audio' tab lets you control the nature of the audio follow video feature, plus the talkback
monitoring settings and mix minus settings.
Audio Follow Video Behaviour
You can change the nature of the audio follow video feature for when switching sources.
For example, select 'normal' to use the standard default crossfade duration between sources,
or select 'transition' to use a custom transition rate set in the transition palette.
Talkback via SDI Channels 15 and 16
You may want to loop one of your ATEM’s outputs to an input to achieve a desired effect, but in
some cases this can cause a feedback loop in SDI audio channels 15 and 16. If this occurs, you
can mute SDI channels 15 and 16 by clicking the mute checkboxes for each of the SDI inputs.
Mix Minus Settings
The mix minus settings on SDI outputs let you mute the audio from their return program feed.
For example, when doing live crosses there can be a delay in the audio which may be
distracting when the presenter can hear his or her own voice delayed on the program return
feed. Enabling mix minus for an input will output all program audio in the mix, minus that
particular input.
XLR Inputs
If you are plugging in an audio source via RCA using an RCA to XLR adapter, then you can
change the input level on the XLR input from XLR to RCA. This boosts the signal at the input
tocompensate for the lower output levels from equipment using RCA connectors, for example
HiFi audio equipment.
TIP For the AFV transition setting to work as expected, make sure you have AFV
enabled on both sources you want to switch between. For example, if you have camera
1 currently on air, an d you want to switch to camera 2 with a custom transition rate,
make sure the audio mixer has AFV enabled on camera 1 and camera 2.
