Blackmagicdesign ATEM Series User Manual

Connecting to an ATEM Switcher via
ATEMCamera and Studio Converters
This example shows a 3G-SDI workflow using two cameras connected to an ATEM 2 M/E
Broadcast Studio 4K via two ATEM Camera Converters partnered with an ATEM Studio
Converter. You can use ATEM Studio Converter’s XLR analog outputs to send each camera’s
audio to a mixing desk. ATEM Camera Converters can be used to convert HDMI cameras to SDI
so you can connect them to a switcher over long distances and get tally and talkback via
optical fiber.
