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 and focus 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 optical fiber SDI connections.
Connecting via SDI
Step 1. Connect your Blackmagic Studio Camera's SDI Out to any SDI In on the ATEM switcher.
Step 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

Cam 1 on the ATEM switcher, the camera number must also be set to 1. This ensures tally is
sent to the correct camera.
Connecting via Optical Fiber
Step 1. Connect your Blackmagic Studio Camera's Optical Out/In to the Optical Out/In on an ATEM
Studio Converter.
Step 2. Connect a suitable SDI out from ATEM Studio Converter to any SDI In on the ATEM switcher.

Step 4. 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, your camera number must also be set to 1. This ensures tally is sent to
the correct camera.
Open ATEM Software Control Preferences and set the switcher's button mapping to make sure you are
switching the right camera with correct tally. Now you have a video connection from the switcher to your
Blackmagic Studio Camera, you can also get the advantage of live tally indicators on your camera, as well as
being able to view the program feed of the switcher by pressing your camera's PGM button.
