Audio Input Status

Control and Color Balance Remote Cameras!
Most Blackmagic Design cameras support camera control, talkback and tally from an ATEM switcher via an SDI control protocol. Control is for all cameras and is embedded into the ATEM SDI outputs, and then you select the specific camera number on the camera. Imagine changing ISO, tint, iris, focus, zoom with tally and talkback all remotely! This also works for cameras with built-in streaming.
