Getting Started with ATEM Camera Converter

PTT
The first thing you'll want to do is power your ATEM Camera Converter, plug in your camera, headset and a
monitor. You can also plug in an external audio source, such as a mixing desk or microphone.

Plugging in your Power

ATEM Camera Converter features both an internal rechargeable battery which gives you mobility in the
PTT
field, and a connector for plugging in the power adaptor supplied with ATEM Camera Converter. ATEM
Camera Converter's power connector supports an input range of 12V to 31V so you can even use an external
camera battery. The internal battery will charge when a power source is connected.

Plugging in your Camera

You can plug in your camera using ATEM Camera Converter's SDI or HDMI connectors. SDI connections are
robust, industrial standard and reliably used with long cables up to 300 feet or 100 meters in length. If your
camera has a HDMI output, plug in via a HDMI type A connector and cable.
PTT
Make sure your camera output is set to a format supported by your live production switcher.
1080p cameras will usually need to be adjusted to output 1080i or 720p for broadcast. If you're
connecting to an ATEM switcher, check the switcher video standard and then set the camera to the same
video standard, e.g., 1080i59.94.

Plugging in your Headset

Plug your talkback headset into ATEM Camera Converter's standard 3.5mm stereo analog microphone
and headphone inputs. An iPhone-compatible headset can be connected using only the headphone jack.
However, if both an iPhone-compatible headset and external microphone are connected at the same time,
PTT
only the external microphone will be used.

Plugging in your Monitor

Plug your monitor into ATEM Camera Converter's SDI or HDMI output. Using a monitor lets you view the
camera output or the program output from a switcher. ATEM switchers send tally via the SDI signal. When
the camera is switched to the program output, the tally signal will activate a red border on your attached
monitor to show the camera is on air.
