Operating the Camera Fiber Converter

Selecting a Return Feed

The two return buttons on the front panel can be used in the same way as the PGM button

onthe camera, to switch the feed on the LCD, Blackmagic URSA Studio Viewfinder and

HDmonitoring outputs between the camera view and program return view.

The two return buttons marked ‘ret 1’ and ‘ret 2’ switch between two chosen return feeds.

Thethree way rotary switches next to the ‘ret 1’ and ‘ret 2’ buttons assign which return feed you

would like to view when you press the corresponding button to the left of the switch.

Thesepositions on the rotary switch relate to the ‘return in’ 1, 2 and 3 SDI connectors that are

on the back of the Studio Fiber Converter.

The return buttons and three way rotary switches allow you to select

which return feed to view when the return buttons are pressed

Press and hold one of the return buttons to see the selected program feed. The program feed

will continue to display whilst the return button is being held. Double press the return button to

lock the display to the return feed. Pressing the return button again will exit the return feed and

return to the camera view.

This means you can quickly and easily adjust which of the three return feeds being sent from

Blackmagic Studio Fiber Converter you would like to have fast access to on the two return

buttons. For example the three return feeds might be the switcher’s program output feed

complete with graphics, a teleprompter feed and a feed direct from another camera.

By using these switches you could assign ‘ret 1’ to be your program feed permanently and then

use the second ‘ret 2’ button to check what is being sent to the teleprompter, and to

occasionally switch it to check framing on another camera when you need to match its

framing or angle.

There are also return buttons on the left side of the unit, marked ‘ret 1’ and ‘ret 2’ that provide

additional access to view the return feeds when operating your camera from the side. They

perform the same function as the return buttons on the front of the unit.
