Connecting to a Network
When connecting to a network, the network will have its own subnet mask, gateway, and IP
address settings which every connected device will conform to. When connecting to a network,
you will need to make sure both your ATEM Mini and the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel share
those numbers and similarly with regards to the IP address, have their own identifying number
in the last field so they won't conflict with each other.
Below is an example showing ATEM Mini and an ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel set to conform to
a network:
Network IP Settings
IP Address - 192.168.26.30
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.26.250
ATEM Mini IP Settings
IP Address - 192.168.26.35
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.26.250
ATEM External Hardware Panel IP Settings
IP Address - 192.168.26.40
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.26.250
If there are other devices on the network that have the same identifying number in their IP
address, there will be a conflict and the units won't connect. If you encounter a conflict, simply
change the identifying number in the unit's IP address. Refer to the next sections for information
on how to change network settings.
NOTE
If ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel is not connecting to your ATEM Mini and
displays a message saying it is looking for the switcher, you will need to tell the panel
where your switcher is on the network. This is simply typing your ATEM Mini's
IP address into the panel's switcher IP settings. Refer to the next sections for
information on how to set the switcher IP location on ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel.
Changing ATEM Mini's Network Settings
ATEM Mini's network settings are changed using Blackmagic ATEM Setup via USB.
Please follow the steps below:
To change the network settings via Blackmagic ATEM Setup:
1
Connect ATEM Mini via USB to the computer running the setup utility software.
2
Launch Blackmagic ATEM Setup and select your ATEM Mini.
3
ATEM Mini's current IP address, subnet mask and gateway settings will be displayed in
'configure' window. If you only want to check the IP address and not change it, you can
simply quit the setup utility by clicking 'cancel'.
4
To change the IP address or any other settings, simply edit the numbers and then
click 'save'.
