Connecting to an ATEM switcher

Step 1 - Local network

Start by making sure your ATEM switcher is on your local network via the ethernet connection.

Note: We cannot connect to an ATEM over USB.

Launch the ATEM Setup application to check the IP address of your switcher.

Step 2 - Adding the IP address

In H2R Layouts (the app), go to the Connections section and enter the IP address of your ATEM switcher.

Once entered, click the Connect button.

This will connect to your switcher if the app can find it on the local network. You’ll see the name of your switcher appear when it successfully connects.

Step 3 - Configuration

There are some settings that can be adjusted depending on your needs:

• SuperSource number: If your ATEM has multiple SuperSources - some of the bigger models have 2 - you can choose which SuperSource you are changing when you choose a layout.
• Animate between layouts: You can statically jump to a new layout, or smoothly animated between them. Toggle this option depending on which of those you’d prefer.
• Speed: This will dictate how fast or slow the animated transition between your layouts is.
• Easing: Select the easing style of the animation. We like easing in and out, but it’s up to you!

Step 4 - Switch layouts

Use the layouts that you have imported to jump (or animate) your SuperSource. It’s as easy as that!

Clicking on a layout in the layouts section will animate to that on your connected ATEM.

Note: If you are clicking on an layout and it’s not working, this likely means you have lost the connection between the app and your ATEM - Try reconnecting.
