Setting the Camera Number

PTT
If you want your ATEM Camera Converter to receive tally signals from an ATEM switcher, you'll need to set
the camera number on your ATEM Camera Converter. This ensures the switcher sends the tally signal to the
correct ATEM Camera Converter. The camera number can be set to a value of 99, and up to 99 cameras can
be connected to a series of looped ATEM Studio Converters.
To set the camera number with the camera number button, press and hold the button until its button

light flashes 3 times. This will reset the camera number to camera 1. Each subsequent press of the button
will increment the camera number by 1. For example, if you want to set your ATEM Camera Converter to
camera number 5, reset the camera number to 1 and then add 4 button presses.
To test if camera number 5 is set correctly, have the ATEM switcher operator switch camera number 5 to
the program output. If your camera number is set correctly, the tally lights will illuminate on your ATEM
Camera Converter.
Similarly, if you want to test what camera number your ATEM Camera Converter is set to, ask the ATEM
switcher operator to switch camera inputs to the program output until your tally lights illuminate. The
switcher operator can then confirm your camera number.

Mounting ATEM Camera Converter

When your camera needs to be mobile, connect your cables to ATEM Camera Converter and then snap
the integrated belt clip on to your belt. For stationary shots, ATEM Camera Converter can be mounted on a
tripod arm with either of its standard 3/8" or 1/4" thread inserts. If you want to sit ATEM Camera Converter
on a desk using its rubber feet, undo the two 2.5 hex socket screws and remove the belt clip.
