ATEMs can be controlled by any version of the control software lower than its firmware version. However, newer control software will prompt the user to update the ATEM firmware. | ATEMs can be controlled by any version of the control software lower than its firmware version.

As YSTV does not (yet) have a physical mixing board, our control of the mutiview and the stream vision mixing is entirely done through the software. While this does work, it is not ideal due to having to use a keyboard to control software. While the possibility of buying a mixing board has been raised several times since the [[hist:HD Upgrade|HD upgrade]] in 2013, there has been no reasonable opportunity to do so since they're damn expensive. | |||
To rectify this problem, [[hist:Andrew Waddle|Andrew]] (the technical director after the 2019 AGM) had the idea for [[Scratch built video mixer|Mixer Mcgee]] which may or may not be a bodged mixing board in the future. | |||
===Connecting to an ATEM directly=== | |||
Sometimes YSTV finds itself in a position where it needs to connect to an ATEM without having a proper network connection in place. In this case, an ethernet cable can be connected directly between the ATEM and a laptop running the ATEM control software. To do so, first check the IP address of the ATEM using a USB cable and the ATEM Setup utility (the IP will be something like 192.168.1.240). | |||
Then set a static IP on the laptop. On windows: | |||
* Open '''Control Panel''' | |||
* Click '''Network and Internet''' | |||
* Click '''Network and Sharing Center''' | |||
* Click '''Change Adapter Settings''' | |||
* Right click on the ethernet adapter and select '''Properties''' | |||
* Select '''Internet Protocol Version 4''' | |||
* Click '''Properties''' | |||
* If the IP of the ATEM was 192.168.1.240, set the IP of the laptop to 192.168.1.1 and the gateway to 192.168.1.1 | |||
* Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 | |||
* Click OK and close the adapter options menu | |||
You will then be able to connect to the ATEM using its IP address. | |||
