Using ATEM Software Control
Setting the Switcher Video Standard
The video setting is used to select the operating video standard of the ATEM switcher, and this must
be set to the same video standard as the video sources you are plugging into the ATEM switcher. If they
don't match, the inputs won't appear correctly, and will most likely remain black. A good way to work out
the video standard you should use is to check your cameras, and then set the switcher video standard to
the same format.
ATEM currently supports the following video standards:
Set Video Standard
SD 525i/59.94 NTSC
SD 625i/50 PAL
HD 720p/50
HD 720p/59.94
HD 1080i/50
HD 1080i/59.94
To set the video standard, select the video standard from the menu, and then select the set button. Any time
the video standard is changed, it will erase any frames you have loaded into the media pool.
Setting the Audio Breakout Cable Output Behavior
The audio breakout setting is available for ATEM switchers that feature a built-in audio mixer. This setting
lets you select whether the audio breakout cable outputs program audio or monitor audio.
Program audio is the same audio that the audio mixer sends to the SDI and HDMI program outputs. Monitor
settings and solo monitoring are disabled in the audio mixer when program audio is selected.
Set the audio breakout cable output behavior
Monitor audio allows you to listen to the program audio mix of all inputs, or just a solo input, at your
preferred volume level and without affecting the audio on the program output. These monitor settings
are only available to the audio mixer when monitor audio is selected for the audio breakout setting in the
settings tab.
When you use monitor audio to listen to a solo audio source, all other audio output is muted on the audio
breakout cable. Selecting solo in the audio mixer does not affect the program output audio. You can monitor
the solo audio source regardless of whether or not it is on air.
