Seamless 4K Production Communication with the Blackmagic ATEM Talkback Converter 4K
Bridge the communication gap in your multi-camera live productions with the Blackmagic Design ATEM Talkback Converter 4K. This powerful 1 RU rack unit is the central hub for connecting with up to eight camera operators, ensuring your entire crew is perfectly synchronized. By leveraging advanced 12G-SDI technology, it seamlessly handles video, audio, talkback, and tally over a single cable, dramatically simplifying your setup and eliminating the need for unreliable walkie-talkies.
Engineered for professional broadcast environments, the ATEM Talkback Converter supports all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. It allows you to route individual camera feeds to your switcher while maintaining crystal-clear, two-way communication. The front panel is intuitively designed for immediate control, featuring a built-in speaker, an XLR microphone input for broadcast-quality mics, and a standard aviation headset jack for noisy locations. Individual push-to-talk buttons for each camera give the director precise control over the conversation, with options to lock mics open for continuous group chat.
The unit's 10-bit video processing ensures your signal remains pristine from camera to switcher. For productions that span vast distances, the converter is future-proof, with an optional module that adds 8 fiber optic connections. This upgrade allows you to transmit bi-directional video and audio up to 28 miles away without any signal degradation. The ATEM Talkback Converter 4K is more than just a communication device—it's the backbone of a professional, efficient, and collaborative production workflow.
