Controlling Auxiliary Outputs

Auxiliary outputs are separate SDI outputs on the switcher that can have various inputs and
internal sources routed to them. They are very similar to router outputs, and all video inputs,
color generators, media players, program, preview and even color bars can be output. Most
ATEM models provide for 1 - 6 auxiliary outputs.

Routing Auxiliary Outputs

Each aux output has a menu for selecting the source to output on the aux video output. Simply
select the menu, then scroll the list for the source you want to output. When selected, the
output on the selected aux will change immediately. You can see the current source with a tick
in the menu item.
There is a range of sources available, including black, all video inputs, color bars, media players
fill and media player key outputs, program, preview and clean feeds.
More information about Auxiliary outputs and how to use them is explained in the Using
Auxiliary Outputs section. Aux outputs are extremely powerful and allow many exciting
possibilities like alternative switcher outputs, or they are very commonly used for driving video
projectors and video walls on stage during concerts and live performances. Most modern live
performances have complex multi media aspects to them, and the aux outputs are designed to
allow you to control all these displays from your ATEM!

Transition Control

When you first receive your ATEM switcher, it will be set to Program/Preview switching which is
the current standard for an M/E switcher. You can change this preference to A/B Direct if you
wish to use older style A/B switching. You'll find the Transition Control options in the
Preferences window of ATEM Software Control.

Saving and Restoring Switcher Settings

ATEM Software Control lets you save and restore either specific settings, or all of the switcher
settings you have created. This powerful feature is incredibly time saving on live productions
where regular settings are used. For example, you can immediately restore saved camera
settings, lower third graphics and detailed key setups from a laptop or USB drive.
