However, it's worth noting that if you use your ATEM Mini on a network, then you're also
increasing the complexity of the connection between your control panel and the switcher,
so there is possibly a greater chance of something going wrong. ATEM Mini can also be used
when plugged into a switch, and even via most VPNs and over the internet.
Connect ATEM Mini to a network and then you can operate your switcher using
ATEM Software Control on any computer connected to the same network
Understanding Network Settings
For all devices to communicate, they must share the same subnet mask and gateway settings.
In addition, the first three fields of numbers in the panel's IP address also need to match.
For example, ATEM Mini's default IP address is 192.168.10.240 and an external ATEM 1 M/E
Advanced Panel's default IP address is factory set to 192.168.10.60. This means all units share
the first three fields of numbers, but have their own identifying number in the last field so they
won't conflict with each other.
This is generally the most important principle to know when working via Ethernet. When
connecting to a network, these settings will likely need to be changed. This section of the
manual will describe how to do that.
Connecting Locally via Ethernet
When ATEM Mini is connected directly to ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel, the default IP addresses
on each unit will ensure they work automatically.
Below is an example of network settings when ATEM Mini is connected directly to
ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel.
ATEM Mini IP Settings
IP Address - 192.168.10.240
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.10.1
ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel Panel IP Settings
IP Address - 192.168.10.60
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.10.1
Notice that all the numbers are the same except for the last field of each IP address. This means
they are set correctly and the units will communicate with each other without conflicts.
