ATEM Camera Converter's control panel features buttons for adjusting headset and microphone
volume, activating talkback, program/camera monitoring, powering on and off, and setting the
camera number. There are also 5 status indicators for battery level, optical signal, SDI or HDMI signal,
and tally.

Status Indicators

Tally lights
These lights illuminate when a tally signal is received from the program output of an ATEM switcher. By
watching the two red tally lights on opposite sides of ATEM Camera Converter, your talent and camera
operator can see when they are on air.
Battery level
On the far left of the control panel are four green battery level indicators. The number of illuminated
indicators decrease as the battery level decreases. When the remaining single indicator starts
flashing, there's approximately 10 minutes of battery power left, so you should plug in an external
power source or switch to another charged ATEM Camera Converter. The battery will last for over 2
PGM
hours of continuous use and requires approximately 8 hours for a complete recharge.
