Blackmagic Design ATEM Studio Converter 2

The Blackmagic Design Studio Converter 2 takes in video signals relayed via optical fibre, transforming them into SDI for compatibility with video switchers. Paired with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Converter, it enables transmission of video signals up to 28 miles between camera and switcher, utilising available optical fibre cables.

A typical set up using the Studio Converter 2 is to connect it between the switcher and up to four ATEM Camera Converter units. This setup allows the Converter 2 to receive the signals from the fibre cable, convert the signals to SDI using 10-bit processing, and send the signals to the switcher. The Converter 2 can also be used as 4 independent simultaneous bidirectional SD/HD-SDI to optical converters. The Converter 2 features a built-in mic input, speaker and headphone jack that provides talkback audio for communicating with camera operators. The Converter 2 passes tally signals embedded in the SDI programme stream. You can cascade multiple ATEM Studio Converter 2 units together when using more than 4 cameras. The Studio Converter 2 features a 1 RU design with built in rackmount ears for easy integration into existing studio configurations or production cases.

Top Three Features: Blackmagic Design ATEM Studio Converter 2

• Transmission of video signals up to 28 miles: This feature allows for long-distance transmission of video signals, making it ideal for large-scale productions. It eliminates the need for multiple switchers, reducing equipment costs and setup time. Furthermore, it ensures high-quality signal transmission, even over long distances.
• Supports SD/HD signals: The Converter 2's ability to support both SD and HD signals provides flexibility in terms of video quality. This means you can choose the quality that best suits your production needs, whether it's a high-definition broadcast or a standard-definition project.
