Controlling the Auxiliary Output
The auxiliary output is a separate SDI output on the switcher that can have various inputs and
internal sources routed to it. The auxiliary output is very similar to a router output, and all video
inputs, color generators, media players, program, preview and even color bars can be output.

Routing the Auxiliary Output
The aux output has a menu for selecting the source to output on the aux video output.
Simplyselect the menu, then scroll the list for the source you want to output. When selected,
the output on the selected aux will change immediately. You can see the current source with
a tick in the menu item.
There is a range of sources available, including black, all video inputs, color bars, media players
fill and media player key outputs, program, preview and clean feeds.
More information about auxiliary outputs and how to use them is explained in the 'using the
auxiliary output' section. The aux output is extremely powerful and allow many exciting
possibilities like an alternative switcher output, or very commonly used for driving video
projectors and video walls on stage during concerts and live performances. Most modern live
performances have complex multi media aspects to them, and the aux output is designed to
allow you to control all these displays from your ATEM!
Program/Preview and A/B Direct Transition Control
When you first receive your ATEM switcher, it will be set to program/preview switching which is
the current standard for an M/E switcher. You can change this preference to A/B Direct if you
are using an ATEM Television Studio Pro HD and wish to use older style A/B switching. You’ll
find the 'transition control' options in the preferences window of ATEM Software Control.
Saving and Restoring Switcher Settings
ATEM Software Control lets you save and restore specific settings, or all of the switcher settings
you have created. This powerful feature is incredibly time saving on live productions where
regular settings are used. For example, you can immediately restore saved camera settings,
lower third graphics and detailed key setups from a laptop or USB drive.
