Changing The Switcher Network Settings - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Installation And Operation Manual

To allow communication over Ethernet, the IP addresses of the switcher and any computer
running ATEM Software Control needs to be configured correctly. The IP address used for each
will depend on the IP address range of the network you're plugging into.
NOTE If you are using an additional ATEM hardware control panel, your ATEM switcher
always needs a fixed IP address so the control panel has a stable location to connect
to. This means you need to find a free fixed IP address in the range of your network
that you can use.
ATEM hardware control panels can be set to DHCP or fixed IP addresses. Generally when used
on a network, the control panel would be selected to DHCP, so it is automatically assigned an
IP address when connected to the network.
For all devices to communicate, they must share the same IP address subnet, which typically
means the first 3 fields in the IP address need to be the same. Each device must also use a
unique IP address.
Please remember to set all devices to the correct IP address so they can all communicate.
You will need to set the IP address of the switcher via the LCD menu settings.
NOTE If setting up an additional ATEM hardware panel, you will need to set the DHCP
or fixed IP mode. If using a fixed IP address on the panel, set the IP address on the
panel. You will also need to set the switcher address on the panel itself so the panel
can identify your switcher on the network.
Lastly, you need to ensure your computer is connected and working on your network. Then
when you launch the ATEM Software Control application, you will be prompted automatically to
enter in an IP address for the switcher if ATEM Software Control cannot communicate with the
ATEM switcher. Use the IP address you just entered for the switcher. Then the ATEM Software
Control can find the switcher and communicate.
