and Camera Control

Talkback Pin Connections

The ‘talkback’ connector on the back panel of ATEM Constellation 8K is for routing engineering 
talkback and production talkback. You can make an adapter cable with an RJ45 connector 
using this pinout diagram.

Serial Port Pin Connections for Control Cables

RS-422 Pin Connections for Control Cables

RS-422 is a broadcast standard using a common DE 9 or RJ12 connector. You can easily rewire 
these types of connectors in a custom built PTZ control unit if you want to design one yourself.

A pinout diagram of the RS-422 DE 9 and RJ12 connector is provided below.
