Looping Multiple ATEM Converters
If you have more cameras than a single ATEM Talkback Converter 4K or ATEM Studio Converter
can support, you can expand the number of camera connections by linking ATEM Converters
together. This example shows two ATEM Talkback Converter 4K’s and an ATEM Studio
Converter connected together so up to 20 cameras can be used. The first unit receives the
program output from the switcher. The talkback headset or external microphone should be
connected to the front panel of the first unit. The first unit’s program and microphone outputs
are then looped to the corresponding inputs of the next unit. The last unit in the chain should
loop its microphone output back to its own headphone input. The headphone output should be
connected to the headphone input of each previous unit in turn until the first unit is connected.
This completes the loop so that all ATEM Converters can share talkback.
