Routing the Aux Output using an ATEM Hardware Panel
On ATEM hardware panels, you can route the auxiliary output using the auxiliary settings in the
system control menu. To do this:
1 Press the ‘aux’ button in the system control ‘home’ menu to open the auxiliary menu.
2 In the auxiliary menu, select auxiliary 1.
3 Press a source button on the corresponding M/E’s source select row. Depending on
the panel you are using, you may need to hold the shift button down to access your
desired source.
4 Press the 'home' system control button to return to the home menu.
Available Auxiliary Sources
There are a range of sources available, and these include:
Black Black source generated internally in the switcher.
Inputs These are all the sources connected to the HDMI and SDI inputs. In
ATEM Software Control, you will see the video inputs of the switcher
listed in the ‘auxiliary 1’ drop down menu. These will be listed as the
current labels you have set in the settings window of the switcher.
Color Bars Color bar source generated internally in the switcher.
Media Player 1 This is the fill output of media player 1, and is derived from the still’s RGB
content.
Media Player 1 Key This is the key output from media player 1, and is derived from the still’s
alpha content.
Media Player 2 This is the fill output of media player 2, and is derived from the still’s
RGB content.
Media Player 2 Key This is the key output from media player 2, and is derived from the still’s
alpha content.
Program This is the switcher program out, and is the same as the main program
SDI output on the switcher.
Preview This is the preview output and shows the source selected on the
preview bus, and is the same as the preview window in the multi view.
Clean Feed 1 This is identical to the program output, however does not include any of
the downstream keyer contents. It’s useful when you want to record a
master output without logos or bugs on the downstream keyers.
Clean Feed 2 This is the same as above, however this output is taken from between
the two down stream keyers, and so includes down stream keyer 1, but
not down stream keyer 2’s output.
Routing clean feeds to aux outputs allows ultimate flexibility in the
use of your program video. From the auxiliary output you can record
a version of your program free from any local broadcast branding you
might have applied from the down stream keyer. This ‘clean’ version
could then be easily used for an international broadcast. This is a very
powerful feature!
