Here are the basics of using EasyWorship 6 with the Blackmagicdesign ATEM Television Studio mixer. This is not an all-encompassing guide. 

• You will have to learn how to use the ATEM device in order to accomplish some of these tasks. Please consult documentation for the ATEM studio as needed. 
  
• The ATEM Television Studio software is required to setup the ATEM.
• You will also need to understand how to change display settings in Windows and how to setup a theme in EasyWorship. 
• You can find instructions for creating themes here. 
• If you want to use Alpha Channel masking, you’ll need to connect two video outputs from the computer into the ATEM mixer.
  

We have a list of recommended video cards on the System Requirements page. 

Please note that if you are using cameras, you’ll want to match the resolution of the cameras because the ATEM can only accept the same video resolution on all inputs. You cannot mix video resolutions on the ATEM mixer.
