Setting Button Mapping and Tally
Open ATEM Software Control Preferences and set the switcher's button mapping settings to
make sure you are switching the right camera with correct tally.
To set the mapping settings:
1
2
3
Now that everything is plugged in and mapping is set, you can check that the program output
can be monitored on your camera and confirm that tally is working. A fast way to check is to
press the program button on your Blackmagic Studio Camera, then switch color bars to the
program output on your ATEM switcher. If you see color bars on your camera, you know the
program output is working properly with your camera.
Now switch camera 1 to the program output. The tally light on the Studio Camera should now
illuminate. If not, double check your camera number is set to the corresponding input on the
switcher, and that the mapping settings in the switcher are correct.
Using Camera Control
Your Blackmagic Studio Camera can be controlled from an ATEM switcher using the Camera
Control feature in ATEM Software Control.
Launch ATEM Software Control and click on the 'Camera' button located at the bottom of the
software window to open the camera control page. You will see a row of labeled camera
controllers containing tools to adjust and refine each camera's image. Camera 1 is labelled
'Cam 1.' If the camera is switched to the program output it will display a red 'On Air' status.
Inside the 'Cam 1' controller you can make camera adjustments including color correction, lens
control on compatible lenses, camera settings and more. For more details on how to use the
camera control features, refer to the 'using ATEM software control' section for more information.

To connect your camera to an ATEM switcher, simply plug your camera's
SDI output into any of your switcher's SDI inputs. For camera control,
plug any of the ATEM switcher's non down-converted outputs to your
camera's program SDI input. A quick and easy way to plug your switcher
into the camera is to connect one of the switcher's program outputs.
Click on the menu bar at the top of the screen and open the ATEM Software Control
Preferences.
Click on the 'Mapping' tab and check the buttons correspond with the correct input.
For example, because your Studio Camera is connected to input 1 on your switcher,
'Button 1' should be set to 'Input 1: Camera 1'.
On your Blackmagic Studio Camera, press 'Menu'. Navigate to Studio Settings>Camera
Number and set it to match the switcher input. In this example, your Studio Camera is
connected to Cam 1 on the ATEM switcher, so the camera number must also be set to 1.
This ensures tally is sent to the correct camera.
