Using <strong>ATEM</strong> Software Control<br />
Capture Palette<br />
The Capture palette in <strong>ATEM</strong> Software Control provides an incredibly easy way to capture video from the<br />
USB port of <strong>ATEM</strong> switchers without having to use any other video software and without having to use<br />
additional capture hardware. The video standard for capture is automatically set to the same as the switcher<br />
video standard so you don't even have to set it. All you have to do is press the red record button to capture<br />
and press it again to stop!<br />
The capture palette is great for quick captures but if you want more features, such as organizing your video<br />
in bins and a playback window, please refer to the Media Express section documented later in this manual.<br />
How to Capture<br />
Start by expanding the Capture palette and you will see an unlocked icon which means the palette can be<br />
expanded or collapsed. You'll probably want to keep the capture palette visible while capturing so click the<br />
icon to lock the palette in the expanded position.<br />
When you want to capture, select the Enable Capture checkbox. You might wish to leave this box unchecked<br />
if you find the timecode and audio meters to be distracting when you are not capturing video.<br />
The Capture Palette appears below the Processing Palettes<br />
If you want to capture uncompressed video and audio from the USB 3.0 port of an <strong>ATEM</strong> Production<br />
Switcher, you'll need a compatible Windows computer with USB 3.0. Whatever video and audio is output<br />
on Aux 1 can also be captured from the USB 3.0 port. The Capture Setup button contains capture settings<br />
for your <strong>ATEM</strong> Production Switcher including which model of <strong>ATEM</strong> switcher you are capturing from, the<br />
choice of uncompressed or compressed codecs and the location for the captured files. You can read more<br />
information about using USB 3.0 for video capture in the "Working with USB 3.0" section later in this manual.<br />
You can capture H.264 video with audio from the USB 2.0 port of an <strong>ATEM</strong> Television Studio using a Mac OS<br />
X or Windows computer. Whatever video and audio is output on the Program output can also be captured<br />
from the USB 2.0 port. The Capture Setup button contains capture settings including the resolution and<br />
quality of H.264 files for <strong>ATEM</strong> Television Studio and the location for the captured files.
