There are two ways to initiate an ISO recording to the Samsung SSD.   You can begin a recording from the buttons on the ATEM switcher, or you can start the recording from the ATEM software controller (virtual switcher) that is installed on the iMac sitting on the desk. 


Start a recording from the ATEM switcher




Make sure the Samsung SSD is present and plugged into the Blackmagic ATEM switcher.






On the Streamdeck controller, the top right corner

of the ATEM switcher, look for the illuminated green light labeled DISK.  If you see the green light,  this indicates the SSD is connected and ready for recording.

Make sure that,

Record in all cameras

are all checked. 


Record in all cameras will also record to the SSD that is mounted on top of the camera. 

ISO record all inputs will record each video source independently of each other.

Copy/Backup recorded files

Once a recording session has concluded, you can unplug the SSD from the ATEM switcher and plug it into the iMac.

On the SSD, you will find a folder with the filename you entered before recording.  In that folder will be the Switched Program video file, an Audio Source Files folder containing separate audio files of the session, and the Video ISO Files folder containing the separate video files of each camera and the stimuli PC. 


Note: All eight switcher inputs are recorded even though they are not being used.  You only need to work with CAM1, CAM2 and CAM3

Switched Program will be a recording of any camera changes you made throughout the session.
ISOs will be the raw camera captured and can be used to re-edit the order or timing of the switched program.

 Once you have copied/backed up the recorded files, delete the files from the SSD, unmount it from the iMac, and plug it back in to the ATEM switcher.
