Using ATEM Software Control
Introducing Camera Control
Your Blackmagic Studio Camera can be controlled from an ATEM switcher using the Camera
Control feature in ATEM Software Control. Clicking on the Camera button opens the camera
control feature. Settings such as iris, gain, focus and zoom control are easily adjusted using
compatible lenses, plus you can color balance cameras and create unique looks using the
DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector.
The ATEM switcher control works by broadcasting camera control packets via all the non down
converted SDI outputs of an ATEM switcher. So this means you can connect an SDI output of an
ATEM switcher to your camera’s video input, your camera will detect the control packets in the
SDI link and allow you to control features in the camera itself. You can control your camera via
both regular SDI, or via user upgradable optical fiber when the SFP module is installed.
ATEM Camera Control.
Connecting via SDI
1 Connect your Blackmagic Studio Camera’s SDI Out to any SDI In on the ATEM switcher.
2 Connect any one of the ATEM switcher’s SDI outputs, except down converted or multi
view outputs, to your Studio Camera’s SDI In. Camera control signals are not sent via
the multi view and down converted SDI outputs.
3 On your Blackmagic Studio Camera, press Menu. Navigate to Studio Settings>Camera
Number and set it to match the switcher input. For example, if studio camera 1 is
connected to Cam 1 on the ATEM switcher, the camera number must also be set to 1.
This ensures tally is sent to the correct camera.
