Effective troubleshooting ensures smooth live productions, even when issues arise. Common challenges like network connectivity, incompatible inputs, and configuration errors can be easily addressed with simple steps.

ATEM switchers rely on network settings for connectivity. Ensure the IP address matches your network range. Use the ATEM setup software or front panel to adjust settings, and confirm the connection with a green check mark. Consult your IT team if needed to resolve network conflicts quickly.

Video signal mismatches often cause input issues. ATEM switchers may not accept 4K signals if set to 1080p. Devices like Blackmagic’s UpDown Cross Converter ensure signals match your switcher’s requirements, making them essential for adaptable workflows.

Save a startup configuration to prevent losing key settings. Use the “Save As” feature to back up configurations and restore them when needed. This provides a reliable fallback, especially if the autosave captures an error.
