Media Manager

The media manager allows you to upload graphics to the media pool in your ATEM SDI. Your

switcher has memory for graphics that’s called the media pool and holds up to 20 still graphics

with alpha channel that can be assigned to a media player for use in your production.

So, for example, you could have the maximum 20 still graphics loaded that will be used on your

live production and then assign various stills to the media player as you work. As you take a

graphic off air, you can change the media player graphic to the next graphic you want, and then

you can put that media player back on air with the new graphic.

When a still is loaded into the media pool, the alpha channel is loaded automatically if one is

included in the image. When a still is loaded into a media player, the output of the media player

will include both key and fill outputs. If you select the media player as a key source, for example

Media Player 1, both the fill and the key are automatically selected so you don’t have to select

them separately. However the key can still be routed separately so you can use a different key

source if you wish. To learn more about keying, refer to the ‘keying using ATEM SDI’ section of

this manual.

Audio Mixer

The audio tab in ATEM Software Control contains a powerful audio mixer interface which

becomes active when controlling your ATEM switcher.

Your ATEM SDI includes a built in audio mixer that lets you use the embedded SDI audio from

your cameras, media servers and other inputs without the need for an external audio mixer. This

is perfect when using your ATEM SDI on location or in small spaces within modern OB vehicles

as you don’t have to find room for an external audio mixer. The audio is mixed in the audio tab

of ATEM Software Control and output via the USB webcam and Ethernet outputs. You can also

route the program output via your switchers SDI output if you want to record your broadcast.

Your ATEM SDI also features built in mic inputs for mixing external audio.

If you prefer to use an external audio mixer, it’s easy to disable the audio for all inputs and you

only need to leave the external audio active in the audio mixer interface. More information on

how to use the audio mixer is included in the next sections.
