Are you making the most out of your ATEM switcher’s multiview feature? Whether you’re a seasoned live streamer or just starting out, knowing how to tailor your multiview display can significantly elevate the quality of your productions. In this post, we’ll explore how you can customize your multiview setup using the ATEM Software Control.

By default, your multiview might display the preview in the top left corner, program in the top right, and your inputs below. However, with ATEM Software Control, you have the power to rearrange these elements to suit your specific needs. Let’s dive into the process.

Firstly, ensure you have ATEM Software Control installed on a computer connected to the same network as your switcher. Once connected, navigate to the settings by clicking on the gear icon in the bottom corner of the software interface. From there, select the multiview tab.

Here, you can configure multiple multiviews if your switcher supports it. For now, let’s focus on multiview 1. You can adjust the number of sources displayed on your multiview, choosing between one large feed or up to sixteen smaller ones. This flexibility allows you to optimize your view based on the complexity of your production.

Furthermore, you can toggle audio meters to monitor audio levels, enable frame guides for precision framing, and most importantly, customize the sources displayed in each feed. Whether it’s inputs, keys, masks, or outputs, you can select and arrange them according to your preferences.

This level of customization is invaluable, especially for managing complex productions. For example, you can preview sources like supersource or director cam, ensuring seamless transitions and informed decision-making during live broadcasts.

Moreover, for switchers like the ATEM Constellation 2 M/E, which supports multiple multiviews, you can set up a secondary multiview for additional monitoring or team-specific displays. This is particularly useful for larger productions with diverse requirements.

Additionally, you can personalize source labels within the software control interface, making it easier to identify and manage inputs, outputs, and media sources. This feature streamlines workflow and enhances clarity, especially in environments with multiple operators.

In conclusion, optimizing your ATEM switcher’s multiview empowers you to streamline your workflow, enhance production quality, and tailor the viewing experience to your specific needs. Experiment with different configurations to find what works best for you and your team.

I hope you found this guide helpful in unlocking the full potential of your ATEM switcher multiview. If you have any questions or want to share your experiences, feel free to leave a comment below. And remember to explore our other resources for more church livestreaming tips.
