Using Atem Software Control; Preference Settings - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Live Installation And Operation Manual

Using ATEM Software Control

The 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 production switcher and allows settings to be easily made.
You can also use the 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.
To change the language:
1 Go to the menu bar at the top of your screen, select 'ATEM Software Control' and open
the 'preferences'.
2 Select your desired language from the drop down menu in the 'Software Control
Language' in general settings.
A warning will appear asking you to confirm the action. Click 'change'.
ATEM Software control will now close and restart in your selected language.
You can change the language for ATEM Software
Control in the ATEM Software Control preferences.
