User's Manual
If you want to adjust the audio for each of the SDI inputs, you can view and adjust the audio
levels individually through the menus on the LCD. This is a useful way to identify when the main
audio level is too high because single input is too high level. In this case you don’t want to
adjust the master audio level because all the other inputs will now become too low. You really
want to select the input audio level and adjust just that single audio level.
To adjust an input audio level, for example on input 4:
1 Select the input 4 button. This is easier when using program/preview mode as you can
just select it on the preview source.
2 The label on LCD will change to that input, for example input 4, to show you’re adjusting
the level for that specific input.
3 Adjust the knob and you will see the audio meter on the LCD will reduce in level.
If this input is on air, the master audio output will be reduced because this input is being
lowered in level.
To go back to the master audio level:
1 Press the set button on the right side of the control panel and it will go back to master
immediately. If you don’t press ‘set’, the front panel will automatically switch itself back
to master after a few moments.
2 Now adjusting the knob will be adjusting the master audio output and the LCD has
master displayed.
This is a quick way to test audio channels when you setup your ATEM Constellation 8K. For fine
control of individual audio channel parameters during production, we recommend you use
ATEM Software Control.
Fading the Downstream Key 1
You can trigger the downstream key 1 from the front panel by using the DSK 1 MIX button. This
can be useful when you have a logo or bug and you want to bring it on and off again regularly.
For example you could have a ‘live’ logo that you want to fade on from time to time. You can set
up the logo in the downstream key 1 and then use the DSK 1 MIX button to bring it on and off air.
The duration of the transition when pressing the button will be set in the downstream key LCD
menu, or on a control panel.
You can feed a keyer with an input or a media player. This can be set up in the LCD menus or
on a control panel. If your switcher is new then you can use the software control panel to load
the media pool with some graphics or logos so you have sources to use.
