Connect multiple Blackmagic Studio Cameras via optical fiber using anATEM Studio Converter. You’ll
need to have an optional SFP module installed in your Studio Camera to connect via optical fiber.
Camera Control Panel
Launch ATEM Software Control and click on the ‘camera’ button located at the bottom of the
software window. You’ll see a row of labeled Blackmagic camera controllers containing tools to
adjust and refine each camera’s image. The controllers are easy to use. Simply click the buttons
using your mouse, or click and drag to adjust.
Camera Control Selection
The button row at the top of the camera control page lets you select the camera number you
would like to control. If you have more cameras that fit onto the window size, or you are running
the color corrector window, then you can use these buttons to select between which camera
you would like to control. If you are using an Aux output for monitoring your camera control,
pushing these buttons to change the camera to control will also send that camera’s video
output to the Aux output setup in the switcher preferences.
Channel Status
The channel status at the top of each camera controller displays the camera label, On Air
indicator and lock button. Press the lock button to lock all the controls for a specific camera.
When on air, the channel status illuminates red and displays the On Air alert.
Camera Settings
The camera settings button near the bottom left of the master wheel lets you turn on the color
bars feature in Blackmagic Studio Cameras, Micro Studio Cameras and URSA mini, plus adjust
detail settings for each camera’s picture signal.
Each camera controller displays
the channel status so you
know which camera is on air.
Use the color wheels to adjust
each YRGB channel’s lift,
gamma and gain settings.
Show/Hide Color Bars
Blackmagic cameras have a color bars feature built in which you can turn on or off
by selecting ‘show’ or ‘hide’ color bars. This feature can be very useful for visually
identifying individual cameras while setting up for your live production. Color bars also
provide an audio tone so you can easily check and set the audio levels from
each camera.
