Changing the Switcher Network Settings
The switcher network settings are changed using the Blackmagic ATEM Setup via USB.
Please follow the steps below:
1
Connect the switcher via USB, to the computer running the setup utility software.
2
Launch Blackmagic ATEM Setup and select your switcher or hardware panel.
3
The switcher'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'.
5
A dialog box will prompt you to power cycle your ATEM switcher. Turn the switcher's
power off, turn it back on and then close the dialog box.
Change network setting using the 'configure'
tab in Blackmagic ATEM Setup.
Understanding ATEM Hardware Panel Network Settings
The hardware panel's network settings are configured from the network setup menu in the
hardware panel's system control. Along with its own IP address, the hardware panel also needs
to be configured with the network location of the switcher, so that communication between the
two devices can be established over the Ethernet connection. If the hardware panel's network
settings are correctly configured, you will see the panel light up and buttons turn on so you can
control the switcher.
If the hardware panel is displaying a message looking for the switcher, then you will need to
set the hardware panel's network settings so that the panel and switcher share the same
subnet, and the network location to which the hardware panel is trying to connect, matches the
switcher's IP address.
