Launch ATEM Software Control and it will automatically look for your control surface
using the first port on the first MIDI device that it finds. Click on the Audio tab in ATEM
Software Control to display the ATEM audio mixer. Try sliding the gain faders up and
down on your hardware control surface and verify that the audio mixer faders show a
corresponding increase and decrease in the software on your computer screen. If so,
you have successfully configured your control surface to work with the ATEM switcher.
TIP
If your midi device is not working as expected, ensure 'enable midi
control' is selected in ATEM Software Control's general switcher preferences.
The MUTE button
In the ATEM audio mixer interface, audio is always on, or present in the mix, when the
ON button is selected. When the ON button is deselected, audio is not present or is
muted. To match the software interface, you'll find the MUTE button on your audio
mixer control surface will be lit when audio is always on or present in the mix. The
MUTE button will be unlit when audio is not present or is muted.
Decibel Scales
All hardware mixers are made differently, and the scale printed on your control surface
may not match the scale in the ATEM audio mixer interface. Always refer to the ATEM
audio mixer levels for the true decibel scales.
Try sliding the gain faders up and down on your
hardware control surface and verify that the audio
mixer faders show a corresponding movement
in the software on your computer screen
