If you're connecting direct to a switcher without a network, then you won't have a
DHCP server to assign an IP address automatically, so you will want to select fixed.
ATEM Broadcast Panels are delivered with a fixed IP address set to 192.168.10.10,
for a direct connection.
However, if your network has lots of computers that automatically assign IP addresses
via DHCP, then you can also select DHCP on the panel so the panel can get its network
information automatically. This is possible on the panel, and it's only the switcher itself
that always requires a fixed IP, as the switcher needs to be found by the control panels
at a known fixed address on your network.
If you select DHCP, your network settings will be complete because the panel network
settings will be obtained from the network automatically.
4 If you have elected to use a fixed IP address, you now need to set this IP address
by selecting the PANEL IP menu button and use the knobs or the numeric keypad
to edit each field as required. Changing this IP address may cause the panel to lose
communication.
5 If the subnet mask and gateway address need to be set, then select the relevant
buttons on the system control buttons to set and use knobs or the numeric
keypad to edit.
6 When any settings have been changed, SAVE and REVERT menu buttons will become
available. Select SAVE to save the changes to the new network settings, or REVERT to
ignore the changes and revert to the current network settings.

Using ATEM Software Control

ATEM Software Control is included with your ATEM switcher, and allows you to control your
switcher in a similar way to a full hardware control panel. However instead of menu buttons,
it uses a range of palettes on the right side that shows you all processing features of your
ATEM switcher and allows settings to be easily made.
You can also use ATEM Software Control to configure your switcher settings as well as upload
graphics and manage the media pool.

Preference Settings

The preferences settings are arranged as 'general' preferences and 'mapping' preferences.
The general preferences contain network settings, transition control and language selection options.

General Preferences

ATEM Software Control can be set to display in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and simplified Chinese languages.
When running ATEM Software Control for the first time after installation, a setup dialog box will
prompt you to set the language for the software, but you can change the language of the
software at any time.
