Controlling Cameras using the Trackball
Using the “PTZ,” or pan, tilt, zoom function, you can use an ATEM Television Studio Pro model
switcher to control remote camera heads using the common VISCA protocol.
The switcher's trackball can also be used to control a remote camera head using the common
VISCA protocol.
PTZ, or “pan, tilt, zoom.” control is an extremely powerful tool for controlling pan, tilt and zoom
on remote cameras. You can easily control a bank of cameras one at a time by pressing the
“PTZ” button and then selecting each camera via the numbered buttons on the numeric
keypad. Make your pan and tilt adjustments with the trackball.
Connecting a Remote Head
The switcher communicates with remote heads via the RS-422 port labelled ‘remote’ on the
rear of the control panel. Connect your remote head to this panel via a DB-9 serial connector.
Multiple heads can be controlled from an ATEM Television Studio Pro model switcher by
daisy chaining the heads together via the RS-422 inputs and outputs on each head
TIP When daisy chaining remote heads, make sure you set the remote head’s identity
to “auto.” Check the manual for your particular remote head for information on how to
change this setting for that model.
PTZ Setup for Remote Heads
All PTZ setup options are accessed through the “Settings” menu in your switcher's LCD menu.
To setup remote heads for PTZ control:
1 Press the menu button to display the menus.
2 Scroll through the menus to the “Settings” menu using the rotary knob.
3 Press the set button and you will see the settings menu page will be selected.
4 Scroll down the list of items in the settings menu until you get to the “Remote
Port” section.
