AUX follow source only when it's in Program??

PostWed Nov 26, 2014 1:26 am

I have a ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K

Newbie question: My graphics computer is on Cam1 and I have 2 other cameras on CAM2 and CAM3 inputs.

I want to set up the AUX1 out such that it shows the graphics computer ONLY when CAM1 is switched to Program output. If any other input is switched to Program I want AUX1 to show Black.

This AUX1 is for the talent monitor. they only want to see their graphics and NOT camera feeds. How do I set this up??

On the panel of the switcher press "Aux 1" then select the source you want it to be, so in your case "Cam 1". Now regardless of what camera you take live on program, Aux 1 will always be whatever is on cam 1 input.

Hi Ross,

As mentioned by Tom, you can directly assign Cam1 to AUX 1. However, the image does not show Black if any other inputs are switched on the PGM. Your talents will be able to see whatever goes on Cam1.

On the ATEM Software Control, it's in the header toolbar, you'll be able to see AUX 1. By clicking on it will reveal a drop menu of sources which can be assigned. On the front panel of the switcher, you can select AUX 1 and then the sources.

With JustMacros you can create a script which will watch the tally for input1 and do something like
Code: Select all
if input1 tally==program {
set aux1=input1;
}
else {aux1=black;
}
(thats kind of psudo code, the actual scrip syntax is different).

Since the subject is auxiliary outputs, want to know if you can omit the upstreams so I can record only clean cameras.
I use a key to pip where sobreponho camera signal with translation pounds and do not want to write it in my Hiperdeck. Any suggestions?

You can select "clean program" for one of your aux outputs on the 1 m/e 4k, or 2 m/e 4k.

This is perfect. How do I get started to write such a macro?

Some kind person named Richard wrote a program for me that does exactly what I needed but it stopped working after I upgraded the Switcher to 6.5.1.

I don't have the source code. All he gave me was the .EXE and a bunch of .DLLs.

Can anyone help me?

I now have dev on staff that might be able to do this if someone can tell me how...
