At PTZOptics we strive to provide videos to help our customers be successful with Blackmagic Design video production equipment. The following videos outline integration with various Blackmagic broadcast hardware including the ATEM video switcher line. In the following video, you will find reviews of both the compatibility and limitations of using PTZOptics cameras and Blackmagic products. Generally speaking, you can connect PTZOptics cameras via HDMI or 3G SDI video cabling with Blackmagic devices, but not all resolutions and frame rates are supported. For more information, visit our Knowledge Base.

To change the resolution of your ZCam camera you’ll use the on-screen display menu. Click the button on the back of the ZCam to open the OSD Menu. Navigate to the Settings menu and select a video format. Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to reboot your camera for the resolution change to take effect. Then, double-check to ensure your ATEM unit is set to the corresponding resolution and frame rate.
