To access the PTZ buttons and enable PTZ joystick control,
press the ‘PTZ’ button in the system control home menu.
Select remote heads to control by pressing their
respective camera number soft buttons.
Joystick PTZ Controls
Joystick PTZ controls are very intuitive. Simply turn the joystick knob clockwise or counter
clockwise to zoom in and out. Push up and down to tilt the camera, and push left and right to
pan. The controls are sensitive to the degree of movement of the joystick, letting you ease in
and out of your camera moves. The amount of sensitivity may vary between remote heads.
If you want to wire a custom built PTZ unit using a standard RS-422 port DB-9 connector, refer
to the section labeled ‘Using RS-422 for Custom Built PTZ Control’.
Controlling a HyperDeck
In ATEM 6.8 or newer, you can control up to 4 Blackmagic HyperDeck Studio disk recorders
using your ATEM Broadcast Panel. This includes playback transport control and record features.
All the configuration settings that can be set using ATEM Software Control can also be set using
your hardware panel. For information on how to set up HyperDecks and control them using your
ATEM Broadcast Panel, refer to the ‘HyperDeck Control’ section in this manual.
Button Mapping
ATEM software and hardware control panels support button mapping so you can assign your
most important sources, especially cameras, to the most accessible buttons in the program and
preview rows. Occasional sources can be assigned to less prominent buttons. Button mapping
is set independently for each control panel so button mapping set on a software control panel
will not affect the button mapping set on a hardware control panel.
