Blackmagicdesign ATEM Microphone Converter Installation And Operation Manual page 11

Name
This name is helpful to identify the unit when more than one ATEM Microphone Converter is
connected to your computer or network.
Identify Converter
Clicking the checkbox activates the flashing green LEDs on each end of the converter. This
helps identify which converter you are currently adjusting using Blackmagic Converters Setup.
Network
ATEM Microphone Converter can connect to the network using a static IP address or by using
DHCP allowing you to change the audio settings and update the unit over a network.
Protocol
DHCP and static IP settings let you determine how your converter is connected to your network.
DHCP ATEM Microphone Converters are set to DHCP by default. The dynamic host
configuration protocol, or DHCP, is a service on network servers that automatically
finds your ATEM Microphone Converter and assigns an IP address. DHCP is a great
service that makes it easy to connect equipment via Ethernet and ensure their IP
addresses do not conflict with each other. Most computers and network switchers
support DHCP.
Static IP When 'static IP' is selected, you can enter your network details manually. When
setting IP addresses manually so all units can communicate, they must share the
same subnet mask and gateway settings.
When using static IP and there are other devices on the network that have the same identifying
number in their IP address, there will be a conflict and the units won't connect. If you encounter
a conflict, simply change the identifying number in the unit's IP address.
For example, if the conflicting address is 192.100.40.30 change the last number field to anything
other than 30. If the new number is also being used, keep changing it until you find a unique
number that isn't being used by other equipment.
Allow utility administration
Enabling the 'via USB' setting limits setting changes to only the computer connected via USB.
This removes the risk of anyone on the network making accidental settings changes.
