Absolute Control
In absolute control mode, the settings are always synchronized to their corresponding controls.
NOTE When the panel is in absolute control mode, it's worth keeping in mind that if a
control's setting is changed using ATEM Software Control or a different CCU, the next
adjustment on the original controller will result in an initially harsh settings change as it
snaps back to its originally set position.
For example, if the joystick has set the iris to f2.8 on the camera control panel and then
the setting is changed to f5.6 using ATEM Software Control, the next time you adjust
the gain level using the joystick, the gain level will immediately snap to f2.8 and begin
adjusting from there. That is because the joystick is still positioned at f2.8 on the
camera control panel.
For this reason, it's important to decide before going to air which control mode you
want to use when controlling your cameras so you can be sure there is no risk of
unintended changes when live to air.
White Balance
You can adjust the white balance of each camera by holding down the white balance button,
marked 'W/B' and pressing the shutter up and down arrow buttons to warm or cool the image.
The shutter setting indicator displays white balance values so you can monitor the color
temperature in degrees Kelvin. Check the white balance setting at any time by holding down
the white balance button and observing the shutter setting indicator.
TIP When changing a white balance or shutter speed setting, you can increase their
speed of change by holding down the corresponding up or down arrow buttons.
Hold down the W/B button and press the shutter up and down arrow
buttons to set a white balance in degrees Kelvin
Color Bars
Pressing the 'bars' button will set the camera to display color bars. Press again to turn bars off.
Shutter Speed
The arrow buttons next to the shutter display let you change the camera's shutter speed.
Press the up arrow to increase the shutter speed and down to decrease. For general
production use, the shutter speed is typically set to 50, meaning 1/50th of a second, which
produces a pleasing motion blur. If you want crisper images with reduced motion blur, for
example when shooting sport, a faster shutter speed may be preferred.
