Operating your ATEM Switcher

The wife of one of the engineers in the switcher team baked a
switcher cake!
Program
This is the switcher program out, and is the same as the main program SDI output
on the switcher. After selecting the aux you want to route to on the ATEM 2 M/E
Broadcast Panel, simply hold the two shift buttons and then make the selection on
the select bus. On the ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel, after selecting the aux you
want to route to, simply hold the shift button and cut/fill button and then make the
selection on the select bus.
Preview
This is the preview output and shows the source selected on the preview bus, and is
the same as the preview window in the multi view. After selecting the aux you want
to route to on the ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel, simply hold the two shift buttons
and then make the selection on the select bus. On the ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast
Panel, after selecting the aux you want to route to, simply hold the shift button and
cut/fill button and then make the selection on the select bus.
Clean Feed 1
This is identical to the program output, however does not include any of the
downstream keyer contents. It's useful when you want to record a master output
without logos or bugs on the downstream keyers. After selecting the aux you want
to route to on the ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel, simply hold the two shift buttons
and then make the selection on the select bus. On the ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast
Panel, after selecting the aux you want to route to, simply hold the shift button and
cut/fill button and then make the selection on the select bus.
Clean Feed 2
This is the same as above, however this output is taken from between the two
down stream keyers, and so includes down stream keyer 1, but not down stream
keyer 2's output. After selecting the aux you want to route to on the ATEM 2 M/E
Broadcast Panel, simply hold the two shift buttons and then make the selection on
the select bus. On the ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel, after selecting the aux you
want to route to, simply hold the shift button and cut/fill button and then make the
selection on the select bus.
Routing clean feeds to aux outputs allows ultimate flexibility in the use of your program video. From the
aux outputs you can record a version of your program free from any local broadcast branding you might
have applied from the down stream keyer. This 'clean' version could then be easily used for an international
broadcast. This is a very powerful feature!
