Preference Settings - Blackmagicdesign ATEM mini Installation And Operation Manual

Live production can be a busy and exciting time and you're always working in the moment,
which means you can easily forget to back up your saved files when the production is over.
If you have settings you want to keep, save them to your computer and an external drive,
such as a USB drive. This means you can carry your settings with you and have a back up in
case your settings are accidentally deleted on your computer.
Saving your Startup State
If you have your switcher set up the way you want it, you can easily save your entire switcher
state as your default startup state. Go to the 'file' menu in ATEM Software Control and select
'save startup state'. Now whenever you restart your switcher, it will start up with your saved
settings by default. If you want to clear the startup state and revert to the factory settings on
restart, go to the 'file' menu and select 'clear startup state'.
Saving your switcher settings on a laptop gives you the portability
to restore your settings on any ATEM switcher. Saving to a
USB drive means you can even carry your settings in your pocket.

Preference Settings

The preferences settings are arranged as 'general' preferences and 'mapping' preferences.
The general preferences contain network settings, transition control and language
