Using ATEM Television StudioProSwitchers
Controlling Cameras
The first step when changing a camera setting is to select the specific camera you want
to control.
1 Press one of the camera buttons on the top left corner of your switcher. The button will
illuminate so you can easily see which camera you are adjusting.
2 With the camera selected, you can immediately make adjustments. For example,
to open or close the lens aperture on a compatible servo lens, rotate the iris knob
clockwise or counterclockwise. If you want to increase or decrease the shutter speed
or shutter angle, press the shutter button marked SHUT on the control panel to cycle
through the available shutter settings.
Press a camera button to select the camera you want to control,
then use the camera control buttons and knobs to make
adjustments, such as changing the shutter angle on Blackmagic URSA Mini
After selecting the camera you want to adjust, rotate the iris
knob to open or close the lens aperture on compatible lenses
Camera Settings
Below is a description of the different camera settings you can adjust including dB gain, shutter,
white balance, iris, focus, and zoom.
dB Gain
Press the dB Gain button to adjust a selected camera’s overall gain, or light sensitivity.
On Blackmagic URSA Mini, this setting is called ISO. Pressing the dB Gain button cycles
through the camera’s gain or ISO settings.
Auto Iris
Pressing the ‘auto iris’ button will automatically set the aperture of the camera’s lens to
optimize the exposure on cameras with compatible auto iris lenses.
NOTE It’s worth mentioning that if you want to control focus, iris and zoom
settings, a compatible lens with servo controlled focus, iris and zoom control
must be attached to the camera.
