Micro Studio Camera 4K accepts LP-E6 and LP-E6N batteries, which can be charged with an
external battery charger or slowly trickle charged by the camera. The camera can also be
charged and operated via external power and will switch between power sources automatically
if external power is interrupted. External power is provided via the Micro Studio Camera 4K’s
expansion port.
1 Press the power button on the right hand side of the camera. The tally light will glow
white to indicate the camera is on.
2 Press and hold the power button to switch off your camera.
That’s all there is to getting started. You can now connect your camera to a switcher,
or ATEM Converter, and start creating your live production!
Connecting to a switcher
Your Blackmagic Studio Camera and Micro Studio Camera 4K can be remotely controlled from
an ATEM switcher via SDI for fast, interactive camera control during your live production.
Connecting via SDI
1 Connect your Blackmagic Studio Camera’s and Micro Studio Camera 4K’s SDI output to
any SDI input on the ATEM switcher.
2 Connect any one of the ATEM switcher’s SDI outputs, except down converted or multi
view outputs, to your Studio Camera’s SDI program input. Camera control signals are
not sent via the multi view and down converted SDI outputs.

Use the supplied power adapter to power the Studio Camera.
TIP If you have the optional SFP Optical Module installed, you can use optical fiber to
connect your Blackmagic Studio Camera to an ATEM Switcher. This is great for long
cable runs as optical fiber can carry a signal up to 28 miles.
An ATEM Studio Converter or ATEM Talkback Converter 4K is required to complete the
connection to your ATEM Switcher. For more information on optical fiber setup refer to
the ‘connection diagrams’ section in the ATEM Converters manual.
