Recording Indicator Prior to recording, or if there are no disks connected, the indicator
‚
will display 'stop'. When disks are connected, you will see them appear as icons
below the indicator.
When a disk is recording, the indicator displays 'rec' and will illuminate bright red.
Duration Counter Underneath the recording indicator is the duration counter. When you
‚
press the record button on the switcher, the duration counter will start running.
Record Status Indicators
‚
status. For example, if you are using two drives, their drive names will be displayed along
with available space and record time remaining. While a disk is recording, the indicator will
illuminate red and shows how much disk space is left.
The disks are ordered by capacity. For example, if you have 4 SSDs connected via a Blackmagic
MultiDock 10G, the drive with the largest remaining space will be labeled 1. Drive 2 will be the
SSD with the next largest available space. When drives 1 and 2 are full, drive 3 will then assume
the disk 1 indicator and disk 2 will become drive 4. You can always see what drives are assigned
to the disk numbers by looking at the disk names underneath their icons.
Audio View
During your broadcast you can monitor the audio levels for each source and the levels of the
program output using the audio view.
Audio Meters Each input and the program output has its own audio meter and you can
‚
monitor them all simultaneously. If the audio level rises above -10dB the meter will illuminate
red to warn you that it is close to the maximum strength of 0dB. Once the level reaches 0dB
the audio will clip. Clipping means the audio will distort and you will need to decrease the
level using the switcher's audio level buttons or the audio mixer in ATEM Software Control.
You can read more about ATEM Software Control in the next section of this manual.
The audio meter is an important tool to monitor your levels so you can make sure your audio
always sounds great!
Fairlight Icons These icons let you know if EQ and dynamics controls are enabled in
‚
ATEM Software Control's audio page.
If the Fairlight icons are colored and illuminated, the EQ or dynamics tool is
active and the input is on air.
If the icons are colored but dim, it means the tools are active, but the input
is not on air.
If the icons are dim and colorless, the tools are inactive or bypassed on the
audio page.
These indicators provide details on each drive and its recording
