Troubleshooting

No video signal on output

Ensure all SDI cables are securely connected to both the input sources and the ATEM. Verify that the input sources are outputting a compatible video format and that the ATEM is configured to accept that format. Check the multiview output for signal status.

Streaming is choppy or dropping frames

Check your internet connection speed and stability. Ensure the ATEM's network connection is stable via the 10G Ethernet ports. Reduce streaming bitrate if necessary or ensure your network can handle the required bandwidth.

Audio is out of sync with video

Verify audio embedding settings on your input sources. Use the ATEM Software Control to check and adjust audio delay settings for individual inputs or the program output.

ATEM Software Control not connecting

Ensure the ATEM is powered on and connected via USB or Ethernet. Verify network settings if using Ethernet. Restart both the ATEM and your computer. Check firewall settings if applicable.

Chroma Key not working effectively

Ensure even lighting on your green screen. Use a high-quality green screen material. Adjust the ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyer settings (foreground, background, key edge, spill suppression) carefully in the ATEM Software Control.
