newbie question ATEM TV Studio Pro HD camera control

PostThu Mar 22, 2018 3:45 pm

We just got in the Pro HD switcher. Question: will the pocket camera work with the controls on the switcher? If so, what do I need to look for in the lens for the focus and iris to work well. We have a very simple setup and I'm looking for a locked down shot that I can zoom and make some basic adjustments to but I need to keep the camera as inexpensive as possible.

thanks

There is no return feed input to the pocket camera so there is no way to control it other than via a LANC device. The only cameras that have control options are the Studio, URSA Mini and URSA Broadcast.

You will need Ursa Mini cameras or Studio/micro studio cameras to do shading control with the atem.

All earlier cameras like the Pocket, Cinema camera's are not enabled for control.

Or the new Broadcast camera. But the Mi romStudio,is closer to Then
I met and about 1/3rd the cost of the new Broadcast camera, if you are looking for a small,lock down camera.
