Media Players Tab; Using The Audio Mixer - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Live Installation And Operation Manual

Media Players Tab

The Media Players tab contains controls for your ATEM Switcher's media players and connected
HyperDecks.
Media Players
Your ATEM switcher has media players which play back the clips and stills that are stored in the
media pool memory built into the switcher. The drop down list is used to select the still or clip
that will be played or made available on the media player input to the switcher. When a clip is
selected, the transport controls in the media player can be used to play, pause and loop the
clip. Controls are also provided to step forward and backward through frames of the clip. Most
ATEM switchers have 2 media players. ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K has 4 media players.
Hyperdecks
If you are running ATEM switchers 6.8 or newer, you can connect up to 4 Blackmagic
HyperDeck Studio model disk recorders and control them using ATEM Software Control's
HyperDecks palette. For more information refer to the 'HyperDeck Control' section of
this manual.
TIP The 'capture' tab supports legacy ATEM Production Switcher models with
USB capture features.

Using the Audio Mixer

The audio tab is used to mix audio sources connected to any ATEM switcher via HDMI, SDI,
external audio and also from the built-in media players in ATEM 1 M/E, 2 M/E, and 4 M/E
switcher models.
Cameras, media players and external audio sources are listed along the top of the audio mixer
along with the master audio output for the program outputs of the switcher.
Below each audio source is an audio level meter, a fader for setting the maximum audio level,
and a knob for setting the left/right audio channel balance. The master fader on the right side of
the audio mixer is used to set the gain on the audio level on the SDI and HDMI program outputs
and has its own audio level meter. The monitor fader and buttons appear below the master
fader and set independent audio levels and also allow solo monitoring on the audio outputs.
The buttons below each audio level meter determine whether audio is always available for
mixing or only when the source is on air. The solo, or headphones, button determines whether
the audio source should be used for solo audio monitoring. You can monitor through the
switcher's XLR monitor output on the rear panel of ATEM Production Studio switchers or
ATEM Broadcast Studio switchers.
