Understanding the Broadcast Panel Network Settings

A broadcast panel's network settings are configured from the network setup menu in the
broadcast panel's system control. Along with its own IP address, the broadcast panel also
needs to be configured with the network location of the switcher, so that communication
between the two devices can be established over the Ethernet connection. If the broadcast
panel's network settings are correctly configured, you will see the panel light up and buttons
turn on so you can control the switcher.
If the broadcast panel is displaying a message looking for the switcher, then you will need to set
the broadcast panel's network settings so that the broadcast panel and switcher share the
same subnet, and the network location to which the broadcast panel is trying to connect,
matches the switcher's IP address.

Setting the Switcher IP Location

To set the network location of the switcher on the broadcast panel, so the panel can find the
switcher and communicate, simply follow these steps:
1 When there is no communication with the switcher, the NETWRK SETUP menu will
appear on the broadcast panel system control. Select the NETWRK SETUP menu button.
2 Select the SWITCHR IP menu button and use the knobs or the numeric keypad to edit
each field as required.
3 When a field is changed, SAVE and REVERT menu buttons become available. Select
SAVE to save the changed IP address, or REVERT to ignore the changes and revert to
the currently stored IP address.
4 If the switcher IP address setting is changed, selecting SAVE will apply the changes
and the broadcast panel will attempt to establish communication with the switcher
using the new IP address.
This does not change the IP address of the switcher itself. It just changes where the control
panel is looking to find the switcher. If the control panel cannot find the switcher, then you might
need to check the switcher processor to see if it's been set correctly. To change the IP address
of the switcher, connect the switcher via USB to a computer and run Blackmagic ATEM Setup as
described previously in this manual.

Changing the Broadcast Panel Network Settings

Because the broadcast panel is also on the network and communicating with the switcher,
it also has network settings so it can connect to the network. These settings are different to the
switcher IP address, which is just where the panel is looking to find the switcher. The panel
network settings can be changed by following the steps below:
