System Control

The twelve menu buttons, the display window, the four knobs and the four soft buttons under
the knobs together are called the system control. The 4 line display is used to identify the
operation of the soft buttons and knobs.
The system control is context sensitive and allows you to adjust parameters for the current
operation. For example if you enable KEY 1 in your next transition, the system control allows you
to adjust the parameters of KEY 1. The system control is also used for configuring other parts of
the switcher such as connecting and controlling HyperDeck disk recorders.

Menu Buttons

The matrix of menu buttons are organized into a multi level tree structure of pages that are very
easy to navigate. To assist in rapid navigation all menu pages have a HOME button at the
bottom right and most operations only require navigating down one level.

Joystick and Numeric Keypad

The Number Pad is used to enter numerical data. For example, when setting the transition rate
of a transition, the number pad can be used to enter a numerical value for the transition
duration. When entering data using the number pad, the soft buttons below each parameter are
used to apply the entered data to that parameter.
The Joystick is a 3-axis joystick that is used to size and position keys, DVEs and other elements.

Controlling Cameras using the Joystick

The joystick can also be used to control a remote camera head using the common VISCA
protocol when connected to an ATEM 1 M/E or 2 M/E model switcher. This is an extremely
powerful tool for controlling pan, tilt and zoom on remote cameras, also known as PTZ control.
You can easily control a bank of cameras one at a time by selecting each camera using the
system control soft buttons, then making your adjustments with the joystick.
