Welcome
Thank you for purchasing an ATEM switcher for your live production work!
If you’re new to live production switchers, then you’re about to become involved in the most
exciting part of the television industry and that’s live production! There is nothing like live
production and it’s so easy to become addicted to the adrenaline rush of editing in real time
while the live event unfolds before your eyes. It’s real television the way it should be!
Previously, broadcast quality live production has always been way too high in cost for most
people to afford, while affordable switchers lacked broadcast features and quality. The new
ATEM switchers change this and you can use them for the most amazing professional live
production results. We hope you get years of use from them and have lots of fun with your live
production!
This instruction manual should contain all the information you’ll need for installing your
ATEM Production Switcher. The ATEM switcher includes a software control panel which you
can run on your computer or you can purchase a hardware based broadcast control panel
separately. The computer and control panels connect to your ATEM switcher via a network
cable and you can directly connect them together without any extra equipment!
Please check the support page on our web site at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the
latest version of software for your ATEM switcher. Simply connect your computer to the
ATEMswitcher and the ATEM broadcast control panel via USB to update software so you get
all the latest features! When downloading software, please register with your information so
we can keep you updated when new software is released. We are constantly working on new
features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!
