the Blackmagic Design ATEM Studio Converter 2

This Studio Converter takes in video signals sent via optical fiber and transforms them into SDI for compatibility with video switchers.

When combined with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Converter, it enables video signal transmission up to 28 miles between the camera and switcher using accessible optical fiber cables. In contrast, HD-SDI signals transmitted through conventional copper cables are generally restricted to around 300 feet, depending on cable quality.

A standard configuration with the Studio Converter 2 involves connecting it between the switcher and as many as four ATEM Camera Converter units. This arrangement allows the Converter 2 to capture signals from the fiber cable, change them into SDI using 10-bit processing, and forward them to the switcher. The Converter 2 is compatible with SD/HD signals, and when paired with the ATEM Camera Converter, it can work with any camera that has an SDI/HDMI output. 

Additionally, the Converter 2 can function as four separate simultaneous bidirectional SD/HD-SDI to optical converters. Equipped with an integrated microphone input, speaker, and headphone jack, the high resolution Converter 2 enables talkback audio communication with camera operators. It also transmits tally signals embedded in the SDI program stream. For setups involving more than four cameras, multiple ATEM Studio high quality Converter 2 units can be cascaded together. The Studio Converter 2 has a 1 RU design with built-in rackmount ears, allowing for seamless integration into existing studio setups or production cases.
