You can also change audio settings in the LCD menus as there is a full menu just for audio
settings, proving an alternative way of adjusting audio. Of course, any adjustments you make on
the control panel and in the LCD menus is also reflected in the software control panel.
By connecting a computer and selecting the audio mixer in the software control panel, you can
watch the effect of each control panel setting on the audio mixer. This can be a good way of
better understanding what the control panel audio controls are doing.
Changing Levels for Split Audio Channels
If you have split a mono input using ATEM Software Control so they are two separate channels
for stereo output, then you will notice the control knob will change the level for the left channel
only. To change the level for the right audio channel, simply hold down the shift button and turn
the control knob.
Camera Control
The camera control knobs, buttons and trackball give you the ability to control Blackmagic
URSA Mini and Blackmagic Studio model cameras via the SDI program return signal. When
using compatible lenses, you can adjust settings such as iris, focus, zoom and camera features
such as the camera color correctors using the respective controls on your switcher’s panel.
Having the ability to make fast adjustments to your cameras directly from ATEM Television
Studio Pro HD’s control panel is like having a built in CCU.
VISCA PTZ cameras and remote heads can also be controlled using the camera
control trackball.
TIP Camera control is possible via camera control packets of information embedded
in the SDI outputs from the ATEM switcher to your Blackmagic Design cameras.
Formore details, refer to the ‘using camera control’ information located in the ‘using
ATEMSoftware Control’ section of this manual.
Controlling Cameras
The first step when changing a camera setting is to select the specific camera you want
to control.
1 Press one of the camera buttons on the top left corner of your switcher. The button will
illuminate so you can easily see which camera you are adjusting.
2 With the camera selected, you can immediately make adjustments. For example,
to open or close the lens aperture on a compatible servo lens, rotate the iris knob
clockwise or counterclockwise. If you want to increase or decrease the shutter speed
or shutter angle, press the shutter button marked SHUT on the control panel to cycle
through the available shutter settings.
NOTE It’s worth mentioning that if you want to control focus, iris and zoom
settings, a compatible lens with servo controlled focus, iris and zoom control
must be attached to the camera.
