Using Macros; What Is A Macro; The Macros Window In Atem Software Control - Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Manual De Instalación Y Funcionamiento

ATEM switchers have multiple ways they can be controlled and you can use this software
control panel as well as a range of hardware control panels. In fact, if you connect your
ATEM Mini to a network that has other computers connected, you can run multiple copies of this
software control panel. This means you could have someone operating the switcher, while
someone else could be managing media or mixing audio. It's quite flexible and this means
many people can be operating your ATEM Mini all at the same time!
A good example is the relationship between the software control panel, external
ATEM hardware control panel and the control panel of ATEM Mini. The software control panel
has been designed to be the same as the external ATEM hardware control panel. This is a
convention and well understood ME style of layout where you have a program row and preview
row of input controls and then a transition block that lets you command the transition.
If you plug in both control panels, you can see them mirror each other and any button pressed
on one control panel will be reflected on the other control panels instantly.
However, due to space limitations the control panel of ATEM Mini is a little bit different and it's
interesting to see the relationship between how this control panel works and how the software
control panel works. A good way to understand this is to watch ATEM Mini's panel control while
controlling the switcher via the software control panel.
Because of the limited space on ATEM Mini's control panel, both the program and preview rows
have been combined together into a single row of buttons. When running ATEM Mini in program
preview switching mode, you can see the source selected on the program row because it's
illuminated red and the source selected on the preview row because it's selected green.
These are the same colors as the software control panel, but they are just on the same row of
physical buttons.

Using Macros

What is a Macro?

A macro is an easy way to automate a sequence of switcher actions so you can repeat the
sequence at the press, or click, of a button. For example, you can record a sequence of
transitions between several video sources, including key effects, audio mixer adjustments,
camera control settings and more. Record all your actions to a macro button, then when you
press that button all your recorded actions will be instantly performed. Macros are recorded
using the macros window in ATEM Software Control, and are stored inside your ATEM Mini.
You can run all your recorded macros using the software control panel.

The Macros Window in ATEM Software Control

To open the macros window in ATEM Software Control, click on macros in the title bar, or you
can also press shift/command/M for Mac, or shift/control/M for Windows. The macros window
is a floating window you can move freely about your desktop. This is so you can always access
the window when moving between the switcher, media, audio and camera pages. While
recording a macro, you can even reduce the size of the window by clicking on the minimize icon
at the top right corner.
Macros can be recorded to any of the 100 macro slots. Up to 20 macro slots are visible on
each page. Move forwards and backwards through pages by clicking on the arrows on the
bottom sides of the window. Clicking on the create and run buttons lets you swap between
the create and run pages so you can record your macros, and then run them during your
live production.
