Manually Setting A Fixed Ip Address - Blackmagicdesign ATEM mini Installation And Operation Manual

NOTE ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme switchers are slightly different as they don't have a
set IP address. That is because these switchers are is designed to use the dynamic
host configuration protocol and has DHCP set as the default IP setting. Once the
DHCP has assigned the unit an IP address, you can see this address in Blackmagic
ATEM Setup's network settings. This is helpful when you are connecting an ATEM
hardware panel to an ATEM Mini Pro or Extreme switcher so you can tell the hardware
panel the switcher's assigned IP address.
If your network doesn't support DHCP, you can change the network settings manually.

Manually Setting a Fixed IP Address

When setting IP addresses manually so all units can communicate, they must share the same
subnet mask and gateway settings. In addition, the first three fields of numbers in the panel's IP
address also need to match. For example, ATEM Mini's default IP address is 192.168.10.240 and
an external ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel's default IP address is factory set to 192.168.10.60. This
means both units share the first three fields of numbers, but have their own identifying number
in the last field so they won't conflict with each other.
This is generally the most important principle to know when working via Ethernet.
Below is an example of fixed IP address settings when ATEM Mini is connected directly to
ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel.
ATEM Mini IP Settings
IP Address - 192.168.10.240
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.10.1
ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel IP Settings
IP Address - 192.168.10.60
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.10.1
Notice that all the numbers are the same except for the last field of each IP address. This means
they are set correctly and the units will communicate with each other without conflicts.
When connecting to a network, the network will have its own subnet mask, gateway, and IP
address settings which every connected device will conform to. You will need to make sure
both your ATEM Mini and the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel share those numbers and similarly
with regards to the IP address, have their own identifying number in the last field so they won't
conflict with each other.
Below is an example showing ATEM Mini and an ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel set to conform to
a network using a fixed IP address.
Network IP Settings
IP Address - 192.168.26.30
