These buttons, located above the audio options for each input, adjust the camera much in the
same way as the camera control panel in ATEM Software Control. By default, the arrow buttons
control iris when no other option is selected.
NOTE ATEM Mini Extreme model switchers can also adjust camera settings on
Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro cameras. Connect a Blackmagic BiDirectional SDI/HDMI 3G
converter between the camera and switcher to switch and now you can use camera
control on both the control panel and ATEM Software Control.
Iris
To set auto exposure on, press both of the arrow buttons simultaneously. This setting
automatically adjusts the aperture to maintain a constant exposure while keeping shutter angle
consistent. This will keep motion blur unaffected, but may affect your depth of field.
To manually adjust the iris
1
Press the up arrow to increase the aperture.
2
Press the down arrow to decrease the aperture.
TIP The arrow buttons control iris unless another setting, for example gain or shutter,
is selected. The selected setting will time out 3 seconds from the last button press.
Gain
The camera gain setting allows you to turn on additional gain in the camera. On Blackmagic
Pocket Cinema Cameras, this setting relates to ISO. This is important when you are operating in
low light conditions and need extra gain, or ISO, in the front end of the camera to avoid your
images being under exposed.
To adjust the gain
1
Press the gain button to highlight it.
2
Press the up arrow to increase the gain or the down arrow to decrease it.
It's worth noting that adding gain will increase noise in your images.
