To detect the connected devices:
1 Press the ‘PTZ’ soft button in the system control ‘home’ menu to access the PTZ
setup options.
2 Press the ‘Setup’ soft button.
3 Press the ‘detect’ soft button.
A message will appear in the system control LED display describing the number of connected
devices, which will also appear as camera numbers labeled on the system control soft buttons.
Simply press the buttons to select each camera head. Camera numbering is based on
consecutive order from the first remote head connected, through to the last in the chain.
For example, the first camera connected to your ATEM switcher will be labeled ‘Cam 1’, the
second camera daisy chained to the first will be ‘Cam2’, the third in the chain as ‘Cam 3’, etc.
If the number of connected devices that appear on the LED and soft buttons don’t match the
physical number you have connected, check that all your camera heads are powered and their
RS-422 ports are plugged correctly. Once all your camera heads are visible on your
ATEM Broadcast Panel, select each camera with the system control soft buttons and make
some quick adjustments with the joystick to check they are all working properly.

Joystick PTZ Controls
Joystick PTZ controls are very intuitive. Simply turn the joystick knob clockwise or counter
clockwise to zoom in and out. Push up and down to tilt the camera. Push left and right to pan.
The controls are sensitive to the degree of movement of the joystick, letting you ease in and
out of your camera moves. The amount of sensitivity may vary between remote heads.
If you want to wire a custom built PTZ unit using a standard RS-422 port DB-9 connector or RJ12
connector, see the ‘Serial Port Pin Connections for Control Cables’ section.
