Blackmagicdesign ATEM Live Installation And Operation Manual page 11

A convenient way to check that your ATEM is powered on and working correctly is to plug an
HDMI television or SDI monitor into the multi view output on the right side of the rear panel.
You should see 8 video boxes at the bottom, and two larger boxes at the top, all bound by
white borders. Each box will have a label.
If you see this video output, then your ATEM is powered on and running fine! All you need to do
now is plug in some control panels and video sources so you can start using your switcher!
If you don't see the multi view output on your television, check the connections and cables are
correct. You need to plug into the multi view connector on the rear of the ATEM. Next, check
if your television is compatible with the video standard set in the ATEM. If your television is not
compatible with the set standard, don't worry, its easy to change once you connect your
computer to the ATEM.
If you still don't see the multi view on your television, then double check your power connection
to make sure your ATEM is powered on.
Plugging in an ATEM Hardware Panel
If you have purchased an ATEM hardware panel, then you won't want to wait to plug in your
computer, as it's much more fun to plug in the hardware panel first!
Plugging in the hardware panel is simple, because it's already set to the correct network
settings to plug into your switcher without any changes required.
1
Plug in the power to the hardware panel. For redundant power on ATEM Advanced
panels with built in power supplies, plug in a second IEC power cord.
TIP ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel has a 12v XLR input for portable field use
when powered by a battery, or for backup 12 volt power provided by an
alternative power source, such as a UPS.
2 Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the hardware panel's Ethernet ports.
Any of the ports will do, as there is an Ethernet switch inside the panel, so all ports
work the same.
3 Plug the other end of the same cable into the Ethernet port labeled Switcher Control on
the switcher.
