Works with Blackmagic Studio URSA Mini and Broadcast Cameras
ATEM Constellation works with the latest Blackmagic SDI cameras that have studio camera features that you can remotely control. This means you get remote camera control tally indicators and a DaVinci colour corrector built in. All control is via the switcher aux output connection to the camera PGM SDI input allowing you to broadcast control commands from the switcher to the camera with a single SDI cable. That means you can remotely control settings in the camera plus focus iris and zoom on supported lenses. Pocket Cinema Cameras include a DaVinci primary colour corrector so you get more than simple CCU controls as you can also do a full colour grade in the camera for a cinematic look.

Control Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras
One person can control up to 8 cameras at the same time
When working on live production it’s important all of the cameras are matched with proper colour balance so that you get a consistent look as you cut and transition between the different cameras. The ATEM Camera Control Panel features 4 individual camera controllers while ATEM Micro Camera Panel allows you to choose between up to 8 cameras in one panel. When used with a larger number of cameras it's very quick to change which camera you control on each CCU channel. On ATEM Camera Control Panel each camera controller includes an LCD screen with soft buttons and knobs. Both panels feature a full set of traditional CCU controls so you always get a clear indication of the camera state.

Scene and Camera Controls
The top section on each camera control has settings for changing camera settings plus it lets you save and recall scene presets. Getting remote access to important camera settings is vital when you are working in conditions where the light can change during your job such as daylight and with these settings you can quickly adjust cameras based on changes in the scene. Controls in this section include master gain ND filters white balance shutter speed and more.

• White Balance

• Master Gain

• ND Filters

• Shutter Speed

Gain and Pedestal Controls
The center section features independent RGB controls for adjusting the camera colour for the white and black parts of the image. Because the Blackmagic cameras with studio features have a full DaVinci Resolve primary colour corrector built in you have amazing control over the colour in the camera. These red green and blue controls for adjusting blacks and whites mean you can accurately match multiple cameras which is vital for cutting seamlessly without colour shifts. One trick experienced camera control operators use is to only adjust the red and blue channels so you can add and remove red and blue tint without getting to far away from accurate colour.

The main control for operating the cameras is the high quality professional joystick that’s used to precisely adjust the iris when moved up and down and the master black when the knob is rotated. This is the exact same type of control that's used on camera control units used in broadcast so you get a true professional user interface. There’s also a call button for communicating with the camera operator along with a panel lock button and indicators for the network power and cable connection to the camera.
