Connecting To A Network; Using Dhcp And Fixed Ip Addresses - Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

Connecting to a Network

Most people simply plug their computer and control panel direct to the switcher, however in
some situations it can be very powerful to connect via your network!
Your ATEM Mini ships from the factory with settings to allow hardware control panels to simply
be connected directly with an Ethernet cable. However your ATEM supports full Ethernet
IP protocols so you can place your ATEM Mini and external ATEM control panel on your network
or anywhere on the planet using the internet. Connecting to a network means you have
enormous flexibility with how you control your switcher. For example, you can connect an
ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel on the same network to ATEM Mini and have two operators
switching content. In addition, you also have the software panel on your computer so you can
even have a third operator handling audio, or managing media from the software panel.
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

Using DHCP and Fixed IP Addresses

ATEM Mini connects to ATEM hardware panels and your network using a fixed IP address which
is set to a default address during manufacture. ATEM Mini Pro and ATEM hardware panels can
use a fixed IP address or DHCP.
DHCP
The dynamic host configuration protocol, or DHCP, is a service on network servers that
automatically finds your ATEM Mini Pro and assigns an IP address. The DHCP is a great service
that makes it easy to connect equipment via Ethernet and ensure their IP addresses do not
conflict with each other. Most computers and network switchers support DHCP.
Fixed IP Address
All ATEM hardware panels and ATEM switchers except ATEM Mini Pro have a default fixed IP
address. This is a determined IP address that is set in the unit when manufactured. When
connecting an ATEM Mini directly to an ATEM hardware panel, for example ATEM 1 M/E
Advanced Panel, the fixed IP addresses let the two units communicate with each other
straight away.
