Using ATEM Software Control
Contrast Setting
The Contrast setting gives you control over the distance between the darkest and lightest values of
an image. The effect is similar to making opposing adjustments using the lift and gain master wheels.
The default setting is 50%.
Saturation Setting
The Saturation setting increases or decreases the amount of color in the image. The default
setting is 50%.
Hue Setting
The Hue setting rotates all hues of the image around the full perimeter of the color wheel. The default
setting of 180 degrees shows the original distribution of hues. Raising or lowering this value rotates
all hues forward or backward along the hue distribution as seen on a color wheel.
Lum Mix Setting
The color corrector built into your Blackmagic Studio Camera is based on the DaVinci Resolve primary
color corrector. DaVinci has been building color correctors since the early 1980’s and most Hollywood
films are color graded on DaVinci Resolve than any other method.
This means the color corrector built into your Blackmagic Studio Camera has some unique and
creatively powerful features. The YRGB processing is one of those features.
When color grading, you can choose to use RGB processing, or YRGB processing. High end colorists
use YRGB processing because you have more precise control over color and you can independently
adjust the channels with better separation and more creative options.
When the Lum Mix control is set to the right side, you have the 100% output of the YRGB color
corrector. When you have the Lum Mix control set to the left side, you get 100% output of the RGB
corrector. You can set the Lum Mix to any position between the left and right to get a blend of output
from both the RGB and YRGB correctors.
Which is the correct setting to use? That's up to you, as color correction is a pure creative process
and there is no right and wrong, and the best setting is what you like the most and what you think
looks good!
Synchronizing Settings
When connected, camera control signals are sent from the ATEM switcher to your Blackmagic Studio
Camera. If a setting is accidentally adjusted from your Studio Camera, camera control will automatically
reset that setting to maintain synchronization.
