Using ATEM Camera Converter
Front Control Panel
ATEM Camera Converter's control panel features buttons for adjusting headset and microphone
volume, activating talkback, program/camera monitoring, powering on and off, and setting the
camera number. There are also 5 status indicators for battery level, optical signal, SDI or HDMI
signal, and tally.
Status Indicators
Battery level
On the far left of the control panel are four green battery level indicators. The number of
illuminated indicators decrease as the battery level decreases. When the remaining single
indicator starts flashing, there's approximately 10 minutes of battery power left, so you should
plug in an external power source or switch to another charged ATEM Camera Converter. The
battery will last for over 2 hours of continuous use and requires approximately 8 hours for a
complete recharge.
Optical
Next to the battery level LEDs is the 'optical' indicator. This lights up when an optical fiber SDI
video signal is detected by ATEM Camera Converter. Use this indicator to confirm a valid optical
SDI signal is being sent or received.
Video
The 'video' indicator lights up when a valid SDI or HDMI video signal is detected by
ATEM Camera Converter. Use this indicator to confirm that your camera input signal is present.
Tally lights
These lights illuminate when a tally signal is received from the program output of an
ATEM switcher. By watching the two red tally lights on opposite sides of
ATEM Camera Converter, your talent and camera operator can see when they are on air.
