ATEM Camera Control Panel Control up to 4 cameras at one time including iris, shutter speed, white balance, master gain, pedestal, RGB and more!

Description

The ATEM Camera Control Panel provides independent controls for up to 4 URSA Mini, URSA Broadcast, Blackmagic Studio and Micro Studio cameras from a single control panel. You get iris control, shutter speed, white balance, master gain, pedestal, RGB controls for white and black, and more.

ATEM Camera Control Panel

Remotely control four cameras, all from a single control panel!

The ATEM Camera Control Panel is a professionally built broadcast camera control unit that extends the software features in ATEM Software Control to add high quality physical buttons and controls that are much faster to use. ATEM Constellation 8K supports camera control when used with the Blackmagic Studio Cameras, URSA Mini Pro and URSA Broadcast cameras for full remote camera control. The control panel lets a single person monitor and adjust a wide range of camera parameters such as black levels, gain, color balance, shutter speed and more. This leaves your camera operators free to focus on more important tasks such as framing and shot composition. Plus it works with all ATEM switcher models

Works with Blackmagic Studio, URSA Mini and Broadcast Cameras

ATEM Constellation 8K works with the latest Blackmagic SDI cameras that have studio camera features that you can remotely control! This means you get remote camera control, tally indicators and a DaVinci color corrector built in. All control is via the switcher aux output connection to the camera PGM SDI input, allowing you to broadcast control commands from the switcher to the camera with a single SDI cable! That means you can remotely control settings in the camera plus focus, iris and zoom on supported lenses. Pocket Cinema Cameras include a DaVinci primary color corrector so you get more than simple CCU controls as you can also do a full color grade in the camera for a cinematic look!

Control Blackmagic Cameras

One person can control up to 4 cameras at the same time!

When working on live production, it’s important all of the cameras are matched with proper color balance so that you get a consistent look as you cut and transition between the different cameras. The ATEM Camera Control Panel features 4 camera controllers in one panel, so you can simultaneously control 4 of your cameras at the same time. When used with a larger number of cameras, you can control more even on a single panel because it's very quick to change which camera you control on each CCU channel. Each camera controller includes a LCD screen with soft buttons and knobs and a full set of traditional CCU controls, so you always get a clear indication of the camera state.

Scene and Camera Controls

The top section on each camera control has settings for changing camera settings, plus it lets you save and recall scene presets. Getting remote access to important camera settings is vital when you are working in conditions where the light can change during your job such as daylight, and with these settings you can quickly adjust cameras based on changes in the scene. Controls in this section include master gain, white balance, shutter speed and more!

• White Balance: Quickly get the perfect white balance by triggering the camera’s automatic white balance feature.
• Master Gain: Boost sensitivity of the sensor as conditions become darker or when more depth of field is needed.
• Color Bars: Select to output color bars for the selected camera. Color bars are very useful when setting up for a new job!
• Load Scenes: Save and recall scene presets, perfect when you do regular work with the same conditions each day.
• Shutter Speed: Set the shutter speed of the camera and a slower shutter speed can also boost brightness in dark conditions.

Gain and Pedestal Controls

The center section features independent RGB controls for adjusting the camera color for the white and black parts of the image. Because the Blackmagic cameras with studio features have a full DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector built in, you have amazing control over the color in the camera. These red, green and blue controls for adjusting blacks and whites mean you can accurately match multiple cameras, which is vital for cutting seamlessly without color shifts. One trick experienced camera control operators use is to only adjust the red and blue channels, so you can add and remove red and blue tint without getting to far away from accurate color!

• White: Independent RGB controls for adjusting the white part of the image.
• Black: Independent RGB controls for adjusting the black part of the image.

Lens and Iris Controls

The bottom section features an LED camera number that indicates preview and on air status, along with a high quality professional joystick that's used to precisely adjust the iris and master black. It also features a call button for talkback with the operator, along with a panel lock button and indicators for the network, power and cable connection to the camera.

• Iris Control: Joystick for adjusting iris and master black. Move up/down for iris, rotate for black and push for monitoring.
• Lock Controls: To ensure you don't accidentally bump the camera adjustment, you can lock the iris and master black control.
• Panel Active: If you have setup a perfect color match between all of your cameras, then you can lock all panel adjustments.
• Preview: Used for switching the camera feed to an aux video output, so you don’t have to push the joystick.
• Call Button: Flashes tally light on the camera to get the attention of the camera operator that you need to talk to them.
• Coarse Control: To stop the iris from becoming too sensitive with different lens types, you can reduce the adjustment range.
• Master Black: This indicator provides feedback on the amount of master black adjustment applied to the remote camera.
• Status Lights: On ATEM Constellation 8K, these lights indicate status of network and SMPTE fiber camera connections.
• Camera Number: Big camera number display shows you what camera is assigned to each channel and turns red when on air!

Expand Your Production Workflow

Works seamlessly with all ATEM control panels!

Adding the ATEM Camera Control Panel to your ATEM Constellation 8K is easy as all the network settings have been assigned for you, so you can simply connect an Ethernet cable direct from the ATEM Camera Control Panel to the switchers Ethernet connection. Because Ethernet is a network, you can interconnect multiple ATEM Camera Control Panels with the ATEM Advanced Panels to complete a customized and professional broadcast production studio. The ATEM panels feature loop through Ethernet connections so you just loop through the panels. Plus, if you're doing location work, you can move the panels between any ATEM switcher model for different types of jobs.

Fast and Easy Control

With traditional CCU controls, you can work much faster

The ATEM Camera Control is incredibly fast to use as it features traditional broadcast CCU controls so you get the benefit of years of broadcast experience. You can use the knob on the LCD to set the camera number, which turns red when a camera is on the air. The main joystick control can be moved vertically to adjust the camera iris while the knob can then be rotated to change the master black level. Pressing down on the knob will let you monitor the camera you're currently controlling via the aux output of the switcher. Simply push the knobs to rapidly switch between cameras to ensure all your cameras match color. The ATEM Camera Control Panel is fast to set up so you can instantly start controlling the cameras that are connected to your switcher!
