Ptz Setup For Remote Heads - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Production Studio 4K Installation And Operation Manual

PTZ Setup for Remote Heads

All PTZ setup options are accessed via your ATEM Broadcast Panel's system control soft
buttons. These soft buttons allow you to enter the PTZ soft menu so you can select cameras
and enable the joystick for PTZ control, detect connected devices, plus select the 'baud' rate
so you can control heads made by different manufacturers.
Once your remote heads are connected to your ATEM switcher, setting them up is easy.
To detect the connected devices:
1 Press the 'PTZ' soft button in the system control 'home' menu to access the PTZ
setup options.
2 Press the 'Setup' soft button.
3 Press the 'detect' soft button.
A message will appear in the system control LED display describing the number of connected
devices, which will also appear as camera numbers labeled on the system control soft buttons.
Simply press the buttons to select each camera head. Camera numbering is based
on consecutive order from the first remote head connected, through to the last in the chain.
For example, the first camera connected to your ATEM switcher will be labeled 'Cam 1', the
second camera daisy chained to the first will be 'Cam 2', the third in the chain as 'Cam 3', etc.
If the number of connected devices that appear on the LED and soft buttons don't match the
physical number you have connected, check that all your camera heads are powered and their
RS-422 ports are plugged correctly. Once all your camera heads are visible on your ATEM
Broadcast Panel, select each camera with the system control soft buttons and make some
quick adjustments with the joystick to check they are all working properly.
Joystick PTZ Controls
Joystick PTZ controls are very intuitive. Simply turn the joystick knob clockwise or counter
clockwise to zoom in and out. Push up and down to tilt the camera, and push left and right to
pan. The controls are sensitive to the degree of movement of the joystick, letting you ease in
and out of your camera moves. The amount of sensitivity may vary between remote heads.
If you want to wire a custom built PTZ unit using a standard RS-422 port DB-9 connector,
refer to the section labeled 'Using RS-422 for Custom Built PTZ Control'.
