Welcome

Thank you for purchasing ATEM Microphone Converter!

ATEM Microphone Converter is an extremely high quality analog to digital audio

converter formultiple microphone sources.

The combined XLR/TRS inputs allow XLR or jack cables to be connected,

embedding the 4 analog inputs as MADI channels 1, 2, 3 and 4. The MADI input

allows multiple ATEM Microphone Converters to be daisy chained so more than

4channels ofaudio can be embedded into a single MADI connection!

Your converter features ultra high dynamic range input conversion so you get an

extremely low noise floor of -129dBV and all mic level sources can be individually

adjusted using a discrete digital preamplifier. Phantom power and mic or line audio

inputlevels can be set using the small built in switches, plus the HDMI monitoring

outputlets you visually see waveforms, audio levels and settings for each source.

This instruction manual shows you how to get started with your ATEM

MicrophoneConverter.

Check the support page on our website at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the

latestversion of this manual and for updates to your ATEM Microphone Converter’s

internal software. Whendownloading the software, be sure to register with your

informationso we can keep you updated when new software is released. Weare

continually working on new features and improvements, so we are keen to

hear from you!

Ring (–)

The illustration shows the jack connector’s positive, negative and ground wiring pins. If you

need to reverse the polarity of your analog audio cable to suit your audio equipment, you can

simply swap the positive and negative wiring on the tip and ring pins.

NOTE Microphone phantom power is supported on all inputs. To learn more about

setting phantom power as well as mic and line inputs, refer to the ‘changing settings

using switches’ section in thismanual.

6Getting Started

Connecting to an ATEM Switcher

Your ATEM Microphone Converter supports digital audio with the MADI protocol, also

known as Multichannel Audio Digital Interface. MADI is popular with most professional audio

manufacturers, broadcasters and high end recording facilities. These MADI ports have robust

BNC connectors and transmit audio data over 75 ohm coaxial cables up to 100 meters long.

Connect your converter’s MADI BNC output to the MADI input on your ATEM switcher.

ATEMswitcher models that support MADI include ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD,

ATEMConstellation 8K and ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO. The MADI input LED will

illuminatered when powered and white once MADI is detected.

This video output lets you view the levels of each channel, plus a continuously updating

waveform showing audio peaks over a 60 second duration. You can also visually confirm

thatphantom power is activated and if inputs are set to mic or line level audio.

For more details about the monitor output and all the information it displays, refer to the

‘using the monitor output’ section.

7Getting Started

Settings

You can adjust different settings for ATEM Microphone Converter using the Blackmagic

Converters Setup utility and via the small switches on the side of your converter.

Adjust settings using the Blackmagic Converters Setup utility and the switches on the side of your converter

Blackmagic Converters Setup

Blackmagic Converters Setup is a software utility used to change settings and

update the internal software in your ATEM Microphone Converter.

First, download and install the latest Blackmagic Converters software from the

Blackmagic Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support

To use Blackmagic Converters Setup:

1 Connect ATEM Microphone Converter to your computer via USB.

2 Launch Converters Setup. Your converter model will be named in the utility home page.

3 Click on the circular ‘setup’ icon or the image of your ATEM Microphone Converter to open

the audio settings.

8Settings

Audio Settings

Input Labels

Customize the name and color of each input. This helps visually identify the inputs when using

the HDMI monitor output.

A quick example would be to name each source, then set all mic level sources to red and line

level sources to blue.

Label your inputs and select their display color using the menu

Indicators to the right of each color selection menu will display the input type and

whether phantom power is selected. These settings are selected via the switches

on the side of the converter. Information on setting the switches is provided later

inthis manual.

9Settings

Digital Preamps

Adjust the gain for each input using the digital preamp slider controls up to a maximum of +30dB.

Adjust the gain using the sliders

Different microphone types and brands can vary widely in analog audio levels, so the digital

preamplifiers allow compensation for the specific brand of microphone you use. The digital

preamplifier is processed using internal 32 bit RAW audio bit depth and that is much greater

precision than the MADI audio standard can support. This results in an extremely clean and

noise free gain stage.

The HDMI output enables you to measure the changes made to the audio waveform and meter

levels as you adjust the preamplifier sliders. The ATEM’s internal mixer can then be used to

finesse these levels into the final mix.

Setup Settings

Setup settings let you change the name of your microphone converter, change network

settingsand displays the current version of your microphone converter’s internal software.

10Settings

Name

This name is helpful to identify the unit when more than one ATEM Microphone Converter is

connected to your computer or network.

Identify Converter

Clicking the checkbox activates the flashing green LEDs on each end of the converter. This

helps identify which converter you are currently adjusting using Blackmagic Converters Setup.

Network

ATEM Microphone Converter can connect to the network using a static IP address or by using

DHCP allowing you to change the audio settings and update the unit over a network.

Protocol

DHCP and static IP settings let you determine how your converter is connected to your network.

DHCP ATEM Microphone Converters are set to DHCP by default. The dynamic host

configuration protocol, or DHCP, is a service on network servers that automatically

finds your ATEM Microphone Converter and assigns an IP address. DHCP is a great

service that makes it easy to connect equipment via Ethernet and ensure their IP

addresses do not conflict with each other. Most computers andnetwork switchers

support DHCP.

Static IP When ‘static IP’ is selected, you can enter your network details manually. When

setting IP addresses manually so all units can communicate, they must share the

same subnet mask and gateway settings.

When using static IP and there are other devices on the network that have the same identifying

number in their IP address, there will be a conflict and the units won’t connect. If you encounter

a conflict, simply change the identifying number in the unit’s IP address.

For example, if the conflicting address is 192.100.40.30 change the last number field to anything

other than 30. If the new number is also being used, keep changing it until you find a unique

number that isn’t being used by other equipment.

Allow utility administration

Enabling the ‘via USB’ setting limits setting changes to only the computer connected via USB.

This removes the risk of anyone on the network making accidental settings changes.

11Settings

Updating Blackmagic Converters Setup utility

The first step is to download the Blackmagic Converters Setup utility from the Blackmagic

Design support center at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support

To update the software:

1 Run the Blackmagic Converters Setup installer on your computer and follow the onscreen

instructions.

2 After installation is complete, connect your ATEM Microphone Converter to the computer

viathe USB port on the rear panel. You can also connect to your network via Ethernet.

3 Launch Blackmagic Converters Setup and follow any onscreen prompt to update the

internal software. If no prompt appears, the internal software is up to date and there is

nothing further you need to do.

Changing Settings Using Switches

The side panel of the ATEM Microphone Converter features a set of small switches used to

select input type and turn phantom power on or off.

The switch legend printed on the base of the converter indicates which switches are to be

on/off for particular inputs. For example, if you have inputs 1 and 2 set to line and inputs 3 and 4

set to mic with phantom power, the switches will be set as shown in the following illustration.

Using the Monitor Output

The monitor output is a fast way to visually check your audio inputs. At a glance, you can see

realtime waveforms of the previous 60 seconds, VU level meters plus indicators for phantom

power and mic or line level audio.

Waveforms

The realtime waveforms on the HDMI monitor output display up to the last 60 seconds of audio

starting from the right hand side. The color of the waveform can be changed via the Converters

Setup utility.

Elapsed time can be seen via the scale at the bottom of the output

Input ID

Each channel displays the input number. When connecting 2 or more converters

together, the numbers will continue from 5 onwards as each converter is connected

up to a maximum of 16 inputs per HDMI output. Asadditional converters are

connected, the input will increase sequentially soyou always know which

input is which.

Label

If the input has been labelled using the Blackmagic Converters Setup utility,

thelabelswill appear above each waveform.

14Using the Monitor Output

Once you have 3 or more converters daisy chained together, the amount of room decreases.

This means some information will become hidden to make space for more inputs. You can

check mic/line level and phantom power settings using the setup utility or by checking the small

switches on the side of the unit.

HDMI monitor output when connecting 4 converters together

Each additional converter will populate the next four MADI channels so each input corresponds

to both the MADI input on your ATEM switcher and the input number on the HDMI monitor

output. The table below shows how the groups of audio inputs will populate on the ATEM

switcher’s audio mixer when daisy chaining multiple units.
