ATEM Studio Converter is a centralized fiber optic video, Tally, and Talkback unit for professional multi-camera productions.
It acts as a control room hub, connecting up to four cameras over a single fiber optic cable up to 45 km away with bi-directional video. To distribute program output to four Camera Converters, simply connect your ATEM switcher to the ATEM Studio Converter. Multiple Studio Converters can be daisy-chained together to control more than four cameras.
