4 If you have elected to use a fixed IP address, you now need to set this IP address by
adjusting the corresponding soft control knobs for each field of the IP address.
You can also use the numeric keypad. Changing this IP address may cause the panel
to lose communication.
5 If the subnet mask and gateway address need to be set, then press the right arrow
button in the system control buttons to progress through each setting menu, and use
the knobs or the numeric keypad to edit. If at any time you want to cancel the changes,
press ‘undo’.

Setup Workflow with ATEM Constellation 8K
If you are using an ATEM Constellation 8K, your switcher has a built in control panel. This means
when setting up your production, you can check all your sources and control the switcher
directly from the front panel. This is a practical way to establish everything is set up correctly
from the switcher, being the heart of the production chain.
This section provides a basic example of how to use your switcher’s front panel when setting up
your production.
1 Confirm all your sources are working. These may be cameras or other sources, for
example graphics from a computer, or video clips from a HyperDeck.
You can check all your sources by switching them to the program output. To do this,
press an input button. It will illuminate green, indicating it is switched to the preview
output. Pressing the ‘cut’ or ‘auto’ button will cut or transition the preview source to the
program output. This is also a good opportunity to test any custom transitions.
2 Once you have confirmed that all sources are present, check that each of them are
sending the format and frame rate your switcher is set to. If that isn’t always possible,
your switcher will automatically convert the inputs. However, it’s worth mentioning that
720p and 1080i is not up converted to 8K.
3 The next step is to check that talkback is working properly.
On ATEM Constellation 8K you have the option to communicate with both production
and engineering teams. Both have a unique talkback button on the front panel. Press
and hold the talkback buttons to communicate. If you want to lock the mic open so it
stays on indefinitely, double press to enable ‘lock to talk’ mode. Double press again to
return to ‘press to talk’ mode.
