Master Audio Level Output
The master fader on the right side of the audio mixer is used to set the gain on the audio level
on the SDI and HDMI program outputs and has its own audio level meter. Select the AFV button
on the master audio output fader to enable the AFV fade to black feature. This lets you fade
your master audio when you click on the Fade to Black button.
Audio Mixer Monitor
The monitor volume knob and buttons appear below the master fader and control the
monitoring audio output behavior. You can use these settings to set independent audio levels
for monitoring the audio mix without affecting the program output audio. If you’ve selected a
solo input that you want to monitor, these settings let you control the audio monitor levels for
the single input without affecting the program output audio. You can enable these settings by
going to the settings window and selecting the audio out setting to “monitor audio”.
AFV
Select ON to enable audio monitoring via the monitor XLR output. Deselect ON to disable all
audio via the monitor XLR output.
DIM
Select DIM to temporarily reduce the monitor audio level without having to adjust the fader.
Select DIM again to return to your preferred listening level.
The monitor volume knob and buttons set
independent audio levels and allow solo
monitoring on the monitor XLR output
Headphones Settings on ATEM Constellation 8K
On ATEM Constellation 8K, the headphones settings are used to adjust the audio mix for the
headphones output. ATEM Constellation 8K features a control panel with talkback controls.
A headset can be connected via the 5 pin XLR connector on the front panel for communicating
with camera operators. However, the headset is not just limited to talkback use as you can also
use the headset microphone for doing voice overs and you can use the headset headphones
for program audio monitoring.
These controls for ATEM Constellation 8K are different to ATEM Production Studio switchers
and ATEM Broadcast Studio switchers that have ‘monitor’ XLR outputs. Instead, your
headphones monitor master, talkback and sidetone audio.
