Controlling Auxiliary Outputs
Auxiliary outputs are separate SDI outputs on some ATEM switcher models that can have
various inputs and internal sources routed to them. They are very similar to router outputs and
all video inputs, color generators, media players, program, preview and even color bars can be
output. Most ATEM models provide for 1 - 6 auxiliary outputs.
TIP On ATEM Constellation 8K, dedicated auxiliary outputs are not required as any
source can be routed to any output.

Routing Auxiliary Outputs
Each aux output has a menu for selecting the source to output on the aux video output.
Simply select the menu, then scroll the list for the source you want to output. When selected,
the output on the selected aux will change immediately. You can see the current source with a
tick in the menu item. ATEM Constellation 8K has general purpose outputs instead of dedicated
aux outputs, so ATEM Software Control provides an 'outputs' menu. This lets you select from
24 HD or Ultra HD outputs or six 8K outputs and then select the source you want routed to
that output.
There is a range of sources available, including black, all video inputs, color bars, media players
fill and media player key outputs, program, preview and clean feeds.
More information about Auxiliary outputs and how to use them is explained in the Using
Auxiliary Outputs section. Aux outputs are extremely powerful and allow many exciting
possibilities like alternative switcher outputs, or they are very commonly used for driving video
projectors and video walls on stage during concerts and live performances. Most modern live
performances have complex multi media aspects to them and the aux outputs are designed to
allow you to control all these displays from your ATEM!
Program/Preview and A/B Direct Transition Control
When you first receive your ATEM switcher, it will be set to program/preview switching which is
the current standard for an M/E switcher. You can change this preference to A/B Direct if you
wish to use older style A/B switching. You'll find the 'transition control' options in the
preferences window of ATEM Software Control.
