Audio Routing

Audio Routing is a very powerful feature his allows you to manually route audio channels from all SDI inputs to embedded audio channels in the SDI video outputs.

The following ATEM switchers supporting audio mapping, including:

• ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD

• ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD

• ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K

• ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K

• ATEM Constellation 8K

• ATEM Television Studio HD8

• ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO

• ATEM Television Studio 4K8

Supported ATEM switchers should be running the latest firmware version to ensure that this feature exists.

It is highly recommended to save the default audio routing settings to a macro, so you can quickly recall it if you make an error when using this feature.

Enabling Audio Routing

Audio Routing is a new section in MixEffect, but it is hidden by default on existing Switcher Connections. To reveal it, perform the following actions:

1. Open MixEffect.

2. Tap on a Switcher Connection.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the Switcher Connection detail screen.

4. Tap Reset Layout.

Audio Routing should appear between the Auxiliary and Output sections.

Additionally, you can access the Audio Routing section by going to Switcher Settings > Audio > Audio Routing.

Accessing Audio Routing from the Switcher Settings section.

Tapping on Audio Routing will display a screen with three tabs:

• Select

• Crosspoint

• Bulk

Select

This section allows you to set what audio input source is assigned to the 8 channel pairs on a SDI output.

1. Go to the Audio Routing section.

2. Tap Select.

3. Select the auxiliary output to edit.

4. Set the audio input source for each audio channel pair.

Crosspoint

This section displays a crosspoint selector for every possible input source and every audio channel pair for a single auxiliary output.

1. Go to the Audio Routing section.

2. Tap Crosspoint.

3. Select the auxiliary output to edit.

4. Use the crosspoint selector to assign audio input sources to each audio channel pair.

Bulk

This section allows you to bulk assign an audio input source to many channels and auxiliary inputs at once. Options include:

• Setting to a specific audio channel pair.

• Setting to all auxiliary outputs.

Recording Macros

A common use case is to record your audio routing settings into a macro on your ATEM switcher. MixEffect makes it easy to assign all these settings with the tap of a single button.

1. Start recording a macro.

2. Go to the Audio Routing section.

3. From any one of the three tabs, tap Set All Settings.

The macro will record all the audio mapping settings currently saved on your ATEM switcher. Use this to save a starting point for your audio mapping or to save frequently used audio mapping presets.
