Routing Auxiliary Outputs
On the ATEM software control each aux output has a menu for selecting the source to output on the aux
video output. Simply select the menu, and then scroll the list for the source you want to output. When
selected, the output on the selected aux will change immediately. You can see the current source with a tick
in the menu item.
On the ATEM broadcast panel the aux outputs are set from the aux menu in the system control.
Once the desired aux output is selected, you use the select bus to route the source to the aux
output. Because the broadcast panel uses the select bus, it's very fast to control aux outputs from the
broadcast panel.
Auxiliary outputs are assignable on the ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel using the Destination bus. Once the
desired Aux is selected in the Destination bus, you can use the Select bus to assign an input to it.
Whatever video and audio is output on Aux 1 is also output on the USB 3.0 port.
There are a range of sources available, and these include:
Black Black source generated internally in the switcher.
Inputs You will see the video inputs of the switcher listed, and these will be listed as the
current labels you have set in the settings tab of the switcher.
Color Bars Color bar source generated internally in the switcher.
