Blackmagicdesign ATEM - Changing Levels for Split Audio Channels; Camera Control

Using ATEM Television StudioProSwitchers
Audio Levels
Normally, the knob next the LCD is used to adjust the main audio mixer master output. Adjusting
the knob will lower or strengthen the whole program audio levels and you can see the effect on
the main audio meters in the LCD that are superimposed on the video preview.
If you want to adjust the audio for one of the inputs, this is where the small 4 LED meter above
each input is used. This small meter lets you identify where a hot audio level could be coming
from. If the main audio level is too high and only one of the small meters on the control panel
has a red flashing LED then this means that only that single input is too high level. So in this
case you don’t want to adjust the master audio level knob because all the other inputs will now
become too low. You really want to identify the specific input that is too hot and adjust just that
single audio level.
Adjust the audio knobs to adjust the audio level for a specific source
You can also change audio settings in the LCD menus as there is a full menu just for audio
settings, proving an alternative way of adjusting audio. Of course, any adjustments you make on
the control panel and in the LCD menus is also reflected in the software control panel.
By connecting a computer and selecting the audio mixer in the software control panel, you can
watch the effect of each control panel setting on the audio mixer. This can be a good way of
better understanding what the control panel audio controls are doing.
Changing Levels for Split Audio Channels
If you have split a mono input using ATEM Software Control so they are two separate channels
for stereo output, then you will notice the control knob will change the level for the left channel
only. To change the level for the right audio channel, simply hold down the shift button and turn
the control knob.
Camera Control
The camera control knobs, buttons and trackball give you the ability to control Blackmagic
URSA Mini and Blackmagic Studio model cameras via the SDI program return signal. When
using compatible lenses, you can adjust settings such as iris, focus, zoom and camera features
such as the camera color correctors using the respective controls on your switcher’s panel.
Having the ability to make fast adjustments to your cameras directly from ATEM Television
Studio Pro HD’s control panel is like having a built in CCU.
VISCA PTZ cameras and remote heads can also be controlled using the camera control trackball.
