More information on how to use the switcher control panel is included in the next sections.
Media Manager
The media manager allows you to upload graphics to the media pool in the ATEM switcher.
YourATEM 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 each of the media players to various stills 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 a 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.
Audio Mixer
The audio tab in ATEM Software Control contains a powerful audio mixer interface which
becomes active when controlling your ATEM switcher.
