Tally
Any source whose audio is on air is lit with a red tally light in the software. External
audio is on air by default so the EXT tally light is usually lit red. In the example on this
page, Cam4 and Cam7 are lit because their audio is set to be always on. The tally light
will be illuminated dull yellow when AFV is selected and the channel’s associated
camera is off air. This also applies to the master fader tally light when the master fader
AFV button is selected. When FTB is activated, the master fader tally light will blink red.
Audio Level
Drag the audio level fader to set the gain on the audio level for each camera and audio
source. The green number under each audio level meter shows the maximum audio
level set by the fader.
The number above the audio meter shows the peak audio level reached by the audio
source. Agreen number represents low to medium audio levels. If the audio meter is
regularly showing red, and the red number above it is not changing, then you should
reduce the audio level to avoid audio distortion. After adjusting the audio level, you
may wish to reset the red number by clicking on it once. Observe the new number to
make sure it changes for a while and does not immediately shoot up and become stuck
on a red number. If it does, you may need to reduce the audio level even further.
Audio Balance
The audio mixer supports stereo audio from each audio source. If you wish to change
the left/right audio channel balance for a camera or other audio source, adjust the knob
to the desired balance point.
If you are operating a 2 M/E or 4 M/E ATEM switcher, and notice
the solo and monitor settings aregrayed out, you have program
audio selected for the audio out setting in the settings window.
