Plugging in Multi View Monitoring

The ATEM switcher chassis can be a little intimidating when first seen, because most models have no
controls to access, just lots of connectors! So the first step is to plug in the power, and a monitor, to see it
working! The ATEM Production Studio 4K models have a front control panel with a built in LCD so you only
need to connect power to see them working!
A fantastic way to check that your ATEM is powered on and working correctly is to plug an HDMI television
into the Multi View output on the right side of the rear panel. You should see 8 video boxes at the bottom,
and two larger boxes at the top, all bound by white borders. Each box will have a label.
If you see this video output, then your ATEM switcher is powered on and running fine! All you need to do
now is plug in some control panels and video sources so you can start using your switcher!
If you don't see the Multi View output on your television, check the connections and cables are correct. You
need to plug into the Multi View connector on the rear of the ATEM chassis. Next check your television is
compatible with 1080 59.94i video, as your ATEM switcher defaults to that video standard when new. If your
television is not compatible with 1080 59.94i, then don't worry, it's easy to change once we connect your
computer to the ATEM chassis.
If you still don't see the Multi View on your television, then double check your power connection to make
sure your ATEM is powered on.
