User's Manual

The audio meter for Cam1 is shown in gray to indicate that its audio will not be used as
neither of its ON or AFV buttons are enabled. Cam2 has AFV selected but its audio is not
currently being used as the camera is not on air as is indicated by its dull yellow tally light.
Cam4 and Cam7 have their direct mix set to ON so their mixed audio is always used, and
their tally lights remain lit, even if another camera is currently on air. The audio level meters
for Cam3, Cam5, Cam6 and Cam8 show that no audio is present on these cameras.
Audio Source Selection
Below each audio level meter, you will find the ON and AFV buttons that select which
audio sources are sent to the program output of the switcher.
ON
Selecting the direct mix to ON allows an audio input to be permanently mixed into
the program output, even when the associated video source is not on air. The red
tally light will always be lit because the audio is always on air. Selecting this option
automatically disables AFV.
AFV
Audio-follow-video (AFV) allows audio to crossfade when inputs change.
Theaudio will only be sent to the program output when the input is on air, lighting
the red tally light above. When off air, the tally light is lit dull yellow. Selecting this
option automatically disables the direct mix ON setting.
SOLO
ATEM Production Studio switchers and ATEM Broadcast Studio switchers can use
the XLR audio output via the switcher’s rear panel.
Selecting solo exclusively outputs that single audio source to the monitor output
so you can listen clearly to any single input when required. Thisis an important
feature which lets you confirm audio content before putting it to air and without
affecting the program output audio. When solo is deselected the audio output will
return to its original state.
