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 allows 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!
ATEM Studio Converter is the perfect partner for your ATEM Camera Converters for
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.blackmagicdesign.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!
