Camera Controls through ATEM Software Control

PostMon Apr 07, 2025 10:48 pm

Hi, forgive me if this is somewhere on the forum, I've been looking and can't find this particular problem listed. I'm running 5 BMPCC4K's, four of which run to hyperdeck hd plus' and one running through an HDMI to SDI 3G converter -- all of them are running to an ATEM Mini Extreme SDI ISO. I'm not able to do any color correcting through the software. I'm guessing it's because I'm running to a blank patch panel with HDMI couplers (All the cabling is inside of the Gator Case). Are the couplers not allowing the communications or is it the SDI/HDMI conversions that could be the issue? Thanks in advance!

You need Micro Converter Bi-directional 3G in between every camera for camera control of those cams trough the Atem. No other conversion will run your control!!

See below in image.. The BMPCC example applies for your situation. The Atem 2ME can be a Atem mini sdi.. But you need to split out the SDI output with a Distribution Amplifier. to get more sdi outputs ;)

Thanks! That's a huge help! Do you by chance know if the new micro control panel can bypass this setup?
