your desktop video device, for example UltraStudio 4K Mini.

1 Press the capture settings tab.
2 Select the desktop video device, the capture format and save location from the
options. Press Select.
3 In the ‘capture video’ window, press the lock icon. This will lock desktop video output
to ATEM Software Control, making sure that other software, eg Blackmagic Media
Express, cannot control the device.
4 Press the record icon to being recording, it will turn red. Press again to finish recording.
Once your recording is complete, navigate to the location set earlier to find the video.
Capture Still
If you need to capture a still image from your broadcast simply click on the ‘capture still’ button.
This acts like a still store which lets you add capture files to the media pool. You can then
immediately load a still into the media player and use it in your broadcast, or save the media
pool to your computer.
To save the media pool:
1 Go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and click on ‘file/save as’.
2 Choose the location you want to save to.
3 Click ‘save’.
Now that your media pool is saved on your computer, you can access the captured stills and
use them in your graphics software.
