ATEM ToolKit (for ATEM Production Switchers)

Transcription

1 ATEM ToolKit (for ATEM Production Switchers) Overview: The ATEM Toolkit is a palm sized controller that can connect to the ATEM using just a single ethernet cable. It was initially designed to extend the ATEM Macro capability to a stand alone unit, but in being able to create macro s, it needed to have access to all the ATEM controls. It is ideally suited to sit along side an existing ATEM control surface or software control panel, but with the addition of the expansions available, it can also be used as the main controller. Its main GUI is based on a 3.5 touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 320. A larger 7 version will be available at the end of 2018 that has a resolution of 800 x 480 (more details to follow). With 4 fully programable control buttons they can be programmed as source selections, AUTO, CUT or any other control available. The transition can also be manually controlled using the built in slide fader (T-Bar). It also has the ability to provide program and preview tallies, as well as expanding the available control to another 23 buttons using the 25 pin expansion connector. There will also be available optional expansion boxes to suit various requirements. A stand alone optional serial controlled control panel will be available to allow 8 program, 8 preview and 8 function keys along with a T-Bar fader. This serial control will also be compatible with the Datavideo RMC-260 control panel providing basic Program/Preview row selection with associated T-Bar functionality. The serial control will also be extended to hardware CCU and Audio functions provided by the ATEM. What makes the Toolkit even more useful is its ability to expand on existing ATEM functionality with features such as separate key sources for each keyer, timeline control of DVE effects, timeline control of all 4 boxes of SuperSource, etc.

2 When making adjustments of various ATEM controls they can be achieved using touch screen sliders, buttons, numerical entrys and an assignable infinity controlled rotary knob with button. The ATEM Toolkit also has a totally different hardware interface which allows for removable media at the connector end which will be able to be used for uploading media to the ATEM and also used when software updates require display reprogramming. An introductory price of US$695 will be available for a short time while still in development. The ATEM Toolkit will start shipping early May. Software updates will be supplied free of charge via download when available.
