1 Connect the GPI and Tally Interface to the same Ethernet network as your
ATEM switcher.
2 Connect the GPI and Tally Interface to a USB port on your computer and also connect
the included power supply.
3 Launch the Blackmagic ATEM Setup.
4 If your ATEM switcher connects directly to your computer or ATEM broadcast panel
without an Ethernet network switch, choose to “Configure Address Using Static IP”.
TheGPI and Tally Interface defaults to a fixed IP address of 192.168.10.2 when shipped
and we suggest you use this number for simplicity. If you are using two GPI and Tally
Interface units with an ATEM 2 M/E Production Switcher, we suggest setting the second
unit to 192.168.10.3.
If you want to choose a different static IP address, you can set it to anything you like
that’s in the same range as the ATEM switcher, so long as it’s not already in use by
another device on your network. Default IP addresses for ATEM products are best
avoided for this reason, including: 192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.3, 192.168.10.10,
192.168.10.50, 192.168.10.60 and 192.168.10.240.
If your ATEM switcher connects via an existing Ethernet network switch, you may wish
to choose “Configure Address Using DHCP” as this setting automatically obtains the
IPAddress, Subnet Mask and Gateway information from your DHCP server.
5 Type in the IP address of your ATEM switcher in the “Switcher Address” field. Your
ATEM switcher defaults to a fixed IP address of 192.168.10.240 when shipped and this
is the number you should type in this field unless you have changed it.
6 “Set tally outputs” should be set to “Switcher Inputs 1-8” unless you are configuring
a second unit to provide tally outputs for switcher inputs 9-16 of an ATEM 2 M/E
Production Switcher.
7 Click “Apply”. The white LED to the right of the USB port should stop flashing and
remain on to indicate it has successfully found the ATEM switcher. The GPI and Tally
Interface is now ready.
8 Close Blackmagic ATEM Setup and disconnect your USB cable.
