Using ATEM Talkback Converter 4K
Front Control Panel
Your ATEM Talkback Converter 4K’s control panel features two rows of talkback buttons,
including ‘PTT’ and ‘LTT’, or, ‘press to talk’ and ‘lock to talk’, for each of the camera inputs.
Next to the talkback buttons are PGM
and Mute buttons. All buttons are illuminated
white and change to green when selected.
PTT 1-8 — The ‘press to talk’ buttons let you communicate with each camera operator
independently. The PTT button illuminates green and activates your external or headset
microphone while the button is pressed.
LTT 1-8 — The ‘lock to talk’ buttons lock your external or headset microphone open until you
press them again. You can even lock your microphone open for all cameras if you want to
communicate with all camera operators simultaneously. Cameras can be communicated with
independently using PTT even if all LTT buttons are selected.
PGM
Pressing the program button enables program audio with talkback. When a camera
operator uses talkback, your ATEM Talkback Converter 4K’s program audio level is decreased
so talkback can be heard clearly. When PGM is deselected only talkback audio is heard.
Mute
Pressing the ‘mute’ button will quickly fade the built in speaker to silence. Pressing
mute again, or increasing the volume, will restore audio. This button only affects the speaker
output and will not affect your program or talkback audio output.
Built in Speaker and Volume Control — You can hear program audio and talkback via the
control panel speaker, or with headphones via the 1/4” TRS headphones input. Adjust the
volume for the speaker or headphones by turning the volume knob on the control panel
clockwise or counterclockwise.
