Setting the Camera Number
If you want your ATEM Camera Converter to receive tally signals from an ATEM switcher, you’ll
need to set the camera number on your ATEM Camera Converter. This ensures the switcher
sends the tally signal to the correct ATEM Camera Converter. The camera number can be set
from 1 to 99.
To set the camera number with the camera number button, press and hold the button until its
button light flashes 3 times. This will reset the camera number to camera 1. Each subsequent
press of the button will increment the camera number by 1. For example, if you want to set your
ATEM Camera Converter to camera number 5, reset the camera number to 1 and then add 4
button presses.
To test if camera number 5 is set correctly, have the ATEM switcher operator switch camera
number 5 to the program output. If your camera number is set correctly, the tally lights will
illuminate on your ATEM Camera Converter.
Similarly, if you want to test what camera number your ATEM Camera Converter is set to, ask the
ATEM switcher operator to switch camera inputs to the program output until your tally lights
illuminate. The switcher operator can then confirm your camera number.
