Using The Audio Mixer - Blackmagicdesign ATEM mini Installation And Operation Manual

Using the Audio Mixer

The audio tab is used to mix audio sources connected to ATEM Mini via HDMI and mic audio.
Cameras and external mic audio sources are listed along the top of the audio mixer along with
the master audio output for the USB webcam program output to your computer.
The audio mixer displays tally lights for any audio sources that are currently on air or when AFV is
selected, as well as audio level, audio balance and buttons for selecting which audio should be used
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 USB webcam program output
and has its own audio level meter. Next to the master fader are mic faders which let you control
the audio level for microphones connected to the mic inputs.
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 monitoring feature for each input is grayed out as it supports ATEM Production Studio
and Broadcast Studio model switchers.
Tally
Any source whose audio is on air is lit with a red tally light in the software. In the example on
this page, camera 3 and camera 4 are lit because their audio is set to be always on. The tally
light will be illuminated dull yellow when AFV is selected and the channel's associated camera
is off air. This also applies to the master fader tally light when the master fader AFV button is
selected. When FTB is activated, the master fader tally light will blink red.
Audio Level
Drag the audio level fader to set the gain on the audio level for each camera and audio source.
The numbers under each audio level meter show the maximum audio level set by the fader.
The numbers above the audio meter show the peak audio level reached by the audio source.
A green number represents low to medium audio levels.
