NOTE While this feature is very powerful and helpful, please use with care as it affects
all cameras, including the camera switched to the program output. We recommend
enabling 'recall all' for specific setups prior to air and then immediately disabling the
feature until you need it again.

Master Gain
Blackmagic Design cameras have ISO and gain settings that can be set using the master gain
buttons on the camera control panel. To increase the master gain, press the up arrow next to
the master gain indicator. To decrease gain, press the down arrow.
Increasing or decreasing the master gain lets you allow for more light in dimly lit shooting
conditions, however it's worth being careful with the master gain as electronic noise can appear
in the image as it reaches its highest settings.
TIP When a negative gain value is set, the down arrow will illuminate. When positive
gain is set, the up arrow will illuminate.
Relative Control and Absolute Control
The camera control panel has two control modes that determine how the panel maintains
synchronization between the physical controls and their settings. The two control modes are
relative control and absolute control.
Pressing the 'ON' button repeatedly will cycle between relative and absolute control modes
Relative Control
In relative control mode, when a setting is adjusted externally and becomes out of sync with the
original controller, the next time a change is made to the original controller, its setting will
gradually return to sync as the new adjustment is performed.
For example, if the camera's iris is set to f2.8 on the camera control panel and then set to f5.6
using ATEM Software Control, the joystick will still be physically placed at f2.8, but the setting is
now f5.6. In relative mode, when you then adjust the joystick to decrease the gain level, the
setting will continue from f5.6 and gently return to sync with the controller as you make
changes. The process is almost invisible and it's likely you won't even notice.
