and press the Capture button.
For ATEM 1 M/E or 2 M/E production switchers, connect the switcher to your computer via a USB 3.0 cable.
For ATEM Television Studio, connect the switcher to your computer via a USB 2.0 cable.
Open Media Express and set its preferences to the desired project video format.
Click the red Log and Capture tab and enter a description for your video into the Description field of the
logging information area.
Click the "+" button next to the Description to add it to the automatic Name field. Click the "+" button next
to any of the other fields that you wish to add to the Name field.
You can increment the value in each of these fields by clicking on the corresponding clapper board
icon. Alternatively you can type directly in to any field to customize its name and number.
The text in the automatic Name field will be applied to the clip(s) which are about to be captured.
Click the "star" icon next to the Name field if you want to log the clip as a favorite.
Click the "!" icon next to the Name field if you wish a clip name confirmation prompt to appear
before every capture. This will provide you with the chance to change the clip name.
Set whether audio channels 1 and 2 are to be captured and then click the "Capture" button to start
recording. The Clip, Batch and Log buttons are not used to capture from ATEM switchers. They relate to
capturing from tape decks with RS-422 deck control.

"Esc" key if you want to be prompted to delete or save the clip.
The captured clips will be added to the Media List.
