Using Embedded SDI and HDMI Audio Sources
All ATEM switchers include a built-in audio mixer that lets you use the embedded HDMI and SDI audio from
your cameras, media servers and other inputs without the need for an external audio mixer.
Once you've connected your SDI and HDMI cameras to the switcher for vision mixing, there are no other
connections to make as the audio mixer uses the embedded audio in the video signal. This saves space and
makes setup very fast and low cost as you don't need separate audio connections for every video source,
and you don't need an external audio mixer unless you prefer to use one.
The audio is mixed in the Audio tab of ATEM Software Control and output over the SDI and HDMI program
outputs as embedded digital audio.
ATEM 1 M/E, 2 M/E, and ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K models also feature XLR outputs which let you
monitor mixed audio on the audio output. The audio mixer contains independent controls for setting the
monitor audio level and also for selecting solo audio monitoring when working with these ATEM switcher
models.
For maximum flexibility, The ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K features separate XLR Monitor outputs that
can be switched into an extra pair of program audio outputs.
