For some production workflows, you may want to use external hardware panels such as an
ATEM Advanced Panel. Your ATEM ships from the factory with settings to allow hardware
control panels to simply be connected directly with an Ethernet cable. However if you are
connecting the devices via a network, you may need to change the IP addresses of the
hardware panels as the IP address for each device will depend on the IP address range of the
network you are plugging into.
ATEM Advanced Panels and ATEM Camera Control panels can be set to DHCP or fixed IP
addresses. Generally when used on a network you would select DHCP so the device is
automatically assigned an IP address when connected to the network. This also ensure a
unique IP address is used. When using the switcher with external hardware panels, you will
need to enter the switcher IP address. For more information on using an advanced or camera
control panel, including assigning IP addresses, see ‘using ATEM hardware panels’ later in
this manual.
Lastly, you need to ensure your computer is connected and working on your network. Then
when you launch the ATEM Software Control application, you will be prompted to select a
switcher. If it can be seen on the network, you can select it from the list, or enter an IP address
manually. Use the IP address you just entered for the switcher. Then the ATEM Software Control
can find the switcher and communicate.
Switcher Control Panel
The software control panel has four main control windows: Switcher, Media, Audio and Camera.
You can open these windows by selecting the buttons at the bottom of the interface or by
pressing the Shift and left/right arrow hot keys. A general settings window can be opened by
selecting the gear icon at the lower left of the interface. The switcher, media, audio and camera
windows all contain unique settings for the switcher, which can only be made from the software
control panel.
Switcher Panel
When first launched, the switcher screen is selected, which is the main control interface for the
switcher. The software control panel must be connected to a switcher to run.
