Blackmagicdesign ATEM Television Studio Installation And Operation Manual page 2

Welcome
Welcome to ATEM Live Production!
Thank you for purchasing an ATEM switcher for your live production work!
If you're new to live production switchers, then you're about to become involved in the most exciting part
of the television industry and that's live production! There is nothing like live production and it's so easy
to become addicted to the adrenaline rush of editing in real time while the live event unfolds before your
eyes. It's real television the way it should be!
Previously broadcast quality live production has always been way too high in cost for most people to afford,
while affordable switchers lacked broadcast features and quality. The new ATEM switchers change this, and
you can use them for the most amazing professional live production results. We hope you get years of use
from them and have lots of fun with your live production!
Not only does this ATEM switcher include all the features and SDI connections that broadcasters demand
but you also get loads of HDMI connections so you can get started with low cost HDMI HD cameras and
televisions. This really reduces cost and lets you build your business while adding additional equipment
as you grow.
This instruction manual should contain all the information you'll need for installing your ATEM Production
Switcher. The ATEM switcher includes a software control panel which you can run on your computer or
you can purchase a hardware based broadcast control panel separately. The computer and control panels
connect to your ATEM switcher via a network cable and you can directly connect them together without
any extra equipment!
Please check the support page on our web site at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest version of
software for your ATEM switcher. Simply connect your computer to the ATEM switcher and the ATEM
broadcast control panel via USB to update software so you get all the latest features! When downloading
software, please register with your information so we can keep you updated when new software is released.
We are constantly working on new features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!
