Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD User Manual Selection Buttons
ATEM Television Studio HD8 switchers feature 2 3G-SDI aux outputs on the rear panel that can have various inputs and internal sources routed to them. They are very similar to router outputs and all video inputs, color generators, media players, program, preview and even color bars can be output. The ten dedicated buttons on the front panel provides shortcuts for selecting any of the 8 inputs, program as well as a button you can toggle between multiview and preview.
The multiview button will illuminate white when multiview is selected and green when preview is selecte
Other internal sources and media players including color bars can be selected using the auxiliary menu in system control for all available outputs. If you need a clean feed before all of the down stream keyers, then you can even select this to the output. This will give you a program feed without a logo or bug, so you can capture this as a broadcast master for later post production or transmission.
To select clean feed on aux 1:
Press the ‘aux’ button in system control.
Rotate the knob beneath output 1 until clean feed appears.
The switcher will always perform a clean switch when an auxiliary output changes sources so this means you can use the switcher to cut between sources on the auxiliary output cleanly and without glitches.
The outputs are extremely powerful and can also be routed on the software control panel. The outputs menu available in the menu bar at the top of the software control panel regardless of the window currently selected so they are always available. For more information on setting outputs using ATEM Software control, see the ‘auxiliary outputs’ section later in this manual.
