Blackmagicdesign ATEM Camera Converter Installation And Operation Manual page 2

Welcome
Welcome to ATEM Live Production!
Thank you for purchasing a Blackmagic Design converter for your live production work!
ATEM Camera Converter and ATEM Studio Converter allow you to extend your broadcast SDI and
consumer HDMI cameras using low cost optical fiber! Imagine connecting to cameras at remote locations
on racing tracks, live sporting venues or even massive golf courses! With ATEM Camera Converter you
can have more cameras closer to the action for the most amazing shots in live production! ATEM
Camera Converter not only converts your camera to optical fiber, but it also includes talkback, external
microphone input, program return feed, tally and built in battery power source! You can place cameras
in multiple locations miles away from your switcher while keeping full broadcast HD video quality!
With ATEM Studio Converter you get 4 independent bidirectional optical fiber SDI converters in a one
rack unit chassis. ATEM Studio Converter can be used for general optical fiber SDI conversion or as the
perfect partner for your ATEM Camera Converters where it allows internally distributed program output
and talkback support. Multiple ATEM Studio Converters can be looped to allow talkback support to
more than 4 cameras.
Blackmagic Converter Utility is used to change settings and update the internal software in your
ATEM converter. The latest version of Converter Utility can always be downloaded from our website at
www.blackmagic-design.com/support. We think it should take you approximately 5 minutes to complete
installation. Before you install Converter Utility, please check our website and click the support page
to download the latest updates to this manual and Converter Utility software. Lastly, please register
your ATEM Camera Converter or ATEM Studio Converter when downloading software updates.
We would love to keep you updated on new software updates and new features for your ATEM
converters. Perhaps you can even send us any suggestions for improvements to the converters. We are
constantly working on new features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!
