Get more out of the camera in a live production setup by adding the Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Converter. Using this converts your camera’s SDI or HDMI output to optical fiber, allowing the camera to be positioned far from the switcher and still get the full functionality of the switcher. The ATEM camera converter boasts embedded external audio and talkback from the camera position, internal battery, and sleek durable design for convenient portability. Designed for live production, the ATEM converter is ideal for live music, sporting events, and setups where the camera needs to be placed in a remote location from the switcher. The ATEM camera converter controls one camera; for multi-camera use, pair the ATEM studio converter with the camera converter.
Connecting via industry standard single mode optical fiber cable with standard LC connectors provides connections for longer distances at less cost than traditional copper cables. This is the same optical fiber cable used in computer networking. SMPTE specification for optical fiber connections in the ATEM converter makes it possible to connect from up to 28 miles away. The ATEM camera converter can be used with SDI or HDMI cameras. Also included are 1/4” stereo jack mic/line inputs, allowing external commentary and effects audio to be sent from the camera position.
Communication between camera operators is key during busy live production. Talkback and tally functions on the converter provide that necessary support. Using the 16 channel SDI audio standard works to the ATEM converter’s advantage, with talkback embedded into channels 15 and 16. Typical PC or iPhone type headsets can be used with this converter. Tally function indicates the camera is on air with a red LED light and red tally border on the converter’s SDI and HDMI monitoring outputs.
Built from a solid block of aluminum, the ATEM camera converter withstands the day-to-day damage of live production environments. Aluminum design also makes it lightweight for easy travel, and an integrated belt clip makes camera operation easy when connected to a headset. The ATEM camera converter can operate without a mains power source; its internal rechargeable battery can power the converter for three hours. An external battery (12-31V) can be added when over three hours of battery power is required.
Smart software in the ATEM converter helps with set up and ensures the converter keeps up with the latest firmware releases from a USB connection. Converter Utility Software firmware updates often add new features or support for new video formats. This software is available for Mac OS X and Windows.
