Unlock Audio Routing on your ATEM

XML Editing Tool
atem.zaregistr...
Today I will show you how to unlock the audio in your ATEM to route whatever you want to wherever you want.
At the time of recording this has only been released to the following switchers. Sounds like there is plans to release for more soon
ATEM Constellation 4K 1/2/4 ME and 8K
HD8, HD8 ISO and 4k8
If you are looking for some advice and consulting. Hit me up at my website

i wish this feature would come to the HD models as well. seems link BMD doesnt care about the Constellation HD line since the 4K shipped

Great video, Ryan. Lots of learnings here and love the virtual set. Need to get that running with my setup too.

[@RyanSomerfield]

Thanks Adam! Yeah pretty happy how this one turned out! Just gotta work on the blur of motion of the key, other than that I feel like it looks pretty decent

[@marco.rychlik]

Very good! So good we got audio mapping!! Thanks for sharing

[@oysteinloland5941]

Thanks a lot for sharing. Very interesting. Makes embedding and de-embedding a lot more flexible. 🙂

I meant to comment on this when you first posted it, but I was watching on my living room TV so it was kind of hard to do that. This is quite the amazing find. This is going to be tremendously useful for a lot of people if they can get past Blackmagic's cryptic implementation.

[@RyanSomerfield]

oh its huge for those who need it!

[@suhbaatarenkhtur8734]

Thaanks a lot!! You saved me :D

[@syoung7263]

Thanks for posting this. Works great on our Constellation 8K.

[@pierrejeanjean9355]

Nice... :-) Thanks for the explanation! Easy way to work!

[@timothytay4744]

Super cool! thanks for sharing this

[@michaelfardell8239]

Great video mate - as always!

[@blakewilliams302]

You say that you can only access audio 1/2, 3/4, 13/14, 15/16, but looking at the xml, let’s say on input 1, 1/2 is “65536” and 3/4 is “65537” could 5/6 potentially be “65538”? Considering a gap is there between 3/4 and 13/14

[@RyanSomerfield]

Possibly? Im not sure how it would fail if its not correct.. someone looked into it here and looks like the numbers when converted to hex makes a bit more sense.. forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=200550 my only worry is theres a small chance if it gets a number that doesnt exist it could potentially brick it?? i doubt it though.. could be interesting?

[@joelsamuels4969]

Would you have a simple solution on how to plug in a pair of headphones and listen to the different tracks or the master mix? The manual is a little lacking in detail. Thank you!

[@RyanSomerfield]

Some of the atems have headphone out so you can select the headphone symbol on the bottom which should act as a "solo" to hear what you want

[@BoguschMedia]

Someone reverse engineered the api already? Would be great to control this via companion… or building a small app to simply click cross points and directly send these changes to the atem. Hope this comes for constellation HD and Atem extremes.

[@jclampe]

nice one … basically endless possibilities if you add a Dante Madi Interface to the gear. ;-)

[@pytkin6434]

Yes .. on 40 channel atem U have 24 16 channel audio EMBEDERS .. Impressive

[@arjaycasanova9173]

I tried updating the atem software control still there's no audio taps on the panel

[@RyanSomerfield]

So it may not be released on your ATEM, hopefully yet.. its not on all of them sadly.. but sounds like they are looking to roll it out for others, but my guess might be for the bigger atems

[@michaelfardell8239]

you should make an app to do the mapping

[@oignonprod]

Wow, very exiting stuff! Where can we find the link for the xml editor?

[@RyanSomerfield]

sorry! forgot to add the link, its in the description now :)

[@oignonprod]

@@RyanSomerfield Thank you!

[@gil_carter]

Shame that this functionality is not available on any of the Constellation HD models, or any of the Atem Mini line.

[@RyanSomerfield]

Im not sure about the mini line but chatting with the engineers it may come to the HD line? But yes heres hoping to goes to everything soon! but great sign of things to come I hope!

[@ghost6666g]

I hope they also repair the talkback bug on the Constellation HD models because you don't have control over the sidetone level at the cameras

[@RyanSomerfield]

@@ghost6666g oh? Which cameras are you talking about? It’s been a while but I feel like I was able to control that? But I could be wrong.. come to think of it that could be hard because in theory your coms would be coming back to you?

[@ghost6666g]

@@RyanSomerfield We are using BM Studio Camera 4K Pro G2s. The camera operators are hearing their own voices and can't adjust the volume.

[@RyanSomerfield]

@@ghost6666g interesting, I’ll have to jump back on my ursas again and see if I can replicate it

[@jbwindle6768]

Are you in a virtual set?

[@RyanSomerfield]

I was wondering if someone would notice.. haha yeah it’s an unreal engine set. Was keying live

[@marco.rychlik]

Nice house! 😮 UE good used!!

[@avmediaservices]

Blackmagic is never fully baked products... dissapointment

[@RyanSomerfield]

I do love the fact that they are releasing new things for free years down the track making the product more useful which is awesome

[@Keksstar]

@@RyanSomerfield But they didn´t do it right. It´s simple for them to implement an "professional modus" - are you sure you know what you´re doing? - YES... and there´s the advanced feature set like advanced audio routing. Can´t be that hard for them when people are able to "hack" the XML.
