Understanding the ATEM Switcher
The ATEM switcher provides all the video processing as well as all video input and output connectors,
connection for control panels and power connections. You use the switcher by connecting and using
various types of control panels. This allows the switcher to be located remotely, such as in machine rooms
where it's closer to the connected video devices, while the control panel can be placed in a location from
where it is easier to run production.
