The Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Converter is a versatile solution for extending SDI/HDMI cameras over long distances of up to 28 miles (45 km) using an optical fiber link. Ideal for remote locations, this device allows you to connect cameras via SDI/HDMI inputs, converting video signals into optical fiber, which can then be routed to a switcher program feed. This conversion enables monitoring via SDI/HDMI outputs, allowing for seamless switching between the camera input and the return program feed for efficient on-site monitoring.

Designed with remote operations in mind, the ATEM Camera Converter comes with an internal battery that allows for use in locations far from power sources. The Talkback function supports communication between the switcher operator and camera operator using PC headsets or iPhone-compatible headphones. By embedding microphone audio in channels 15 and 16 of the optical fiber output, the Talkback system enables full-duplex communication for smooth coordination during live production.

For ease of transport, the camera converter includes an integrated belt clip and a camera mount, making it easy to attach to a belt or tripod. The device is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring durability against bumps and shocks in demanding environments. Additionally, the unit supports tally LEDs, which illuminate when the camera is active, and allows the operator to monitor tally status through the HDMI/SDI outputs or via the USB software interface.

The ATEM Camera Converter is an essential tool for various applications, including concerts, sports events, theaters, houses of worship, and more, offering exceptional flexibility, portability, and durability for remote camera setups.
