Understanding Studio Camera Control
Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 can be used as a studio camera and controlled from an ATEM
switcher using the Camera Control feature in ATEM Software Control. This lets you add a
camera with large sensor picture quality and amazing dynamic range to your broadcast studio
and control it just as you would any studio camera.
Clicking on the ‘camera’ button opens the camera control feature. Settings such as iris, gain,
focus and zoom control are easily adjusted using compatible lenses, plus you can color balance
cameras and create unique looks using the DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector.
The ATEM switcher control works by broadcasting camera control packets via all the non down
converted SDI outputs of an ATEM switcher. So this means you can connect an SDI output of an
ATEM switcher to URSA Broadcast G2’s 12G SDI input, your camera will detect the control
packets in the SDI link and allow you to control features in the camera itself.
ATEM Camera Control
NOTE When using Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 with your ATEM switcher, we
recommend updating the internal software to the latest version on both units to ensure
compatibility. The latest software can be found at the Blackmagic Design support
center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support.
Connecting your URSA Broadcast G2
1 Connect your Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2’s 12G-SDI Out to any SDI In on the
ATEM switcher.
2 Connect any one of the ATEM switcher’s SDI outputs, except down converted or multi
view outputs, to your URSA Broadcast G2’s 12G-SDI input. Camera control signals are
not sent via the multi view and down converted SDI outputs.
3 On your URSA Broadcast G2, navigate to ‘ATEM Camera ID’ in the ‘setup’ menu and set
your camera’s ATEM ID to match the switcher input. For example, if URSA Broadcast G2
1 is connected to Cam 1 on the ATEM switcher, the camera number must also be set to 1.
This ensures tally is sent to the correct camera.
