Plugging in Multi View Monitoring
The ATEM can be a little intimidating when first seen, especially since some models have no controls to
access, just lots of connectors! So the first step is to plug in power and a monitor and see it working! The
ATEM Production Studio 4K models have a front control panel with a built in LCD so you only need to
connect power to see them working!
A convenient way to check that your ATEM is powered on and working correctly is to plug an HDMI television
into the Multi View output on the right side of the rear panel. You should see 8 video boxes at the bottom,
and two larger boxes at the top, all bound by white borders. Each box will have a label.
If you see this video output, then your ATEM is powered on and running fine! All you need to do now is plug
in some control panels and video sources so you can start using your switcher!
If you don't see the Multi View output on your television, check the connections and cables are correct.
You need to plug into the Multi View connector on the rear of the ATEM. Next check your television
is compatible with 1080 59.94i video, as your ATEM defaults to that video standard when new. If your
television is not compatible with 1080 59.94i, don't worry, it's easy to change once you connect your
computer to the ATEM.
If you still don't see the Multi View on your television, then double check your power connection to make
sure your ATEM is powered on.
