I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I've not been able to find the answer yet.
Short question: Can I disable the ATEM camera controls for my Pocket 4K from the ATEM software or from the camera?
Longer version:
I was working with a team on a live production, and I had my camera set up the way I wanted. As soon as I was plugged into the ATEM Mini Pro, my settings were all off. Luckily this was a tech rehearsal, so the person on the ATEM adjusted my settings. My shutter speed was locked into the ATEM settings, but that's fine as long as the ATEM operator knows what he wants.
A couple weeks later, I'm setting up another stream (this time with my own ATEM) and when I connected my ATEM to the moderator's laptop my settings were changed again. This time, the laptop had the ATEM software control installed, but it was not running. The laptop was manned by a Zoom moderator, who had no idea what to do with the ATEM software.
If this is just how the software/hardware is set up, I'll just be sure to make time to adjust the camera after hooking up to the ATEM. I was not able to find anything in the documentation that would lead me to believe that I can turn off camera control in the software or on the camera. Did I miss something simple?
