ATEM switchers automatically synchronize the timecode on your studio camera to match the
switcher's timecode when connected. This makes it easier to perform accurate multi camera
edits in DaVinci Resolve.
Gain
The 'Gain' indicator displays your studio camera's current gain setting, or light sensitivity.
Tapping this indicator lets you adjust your gain to suit varying lighting conditions.
The optimum setting for your studio camera is 0dB. Your camera has a dual native ISO sensor,
meaning that 10dB and 18dB are excellent for low light situations, producing clean images with
very little noise.
Tap the gain indicator to access gain settings
The slider and arrows below the presets let you adjust the gain in 1/3 stop increments
Depending on your situation, you may choose a lower or higher gain setting. For example, 32 or
36dB can be used in ultra low light but may cause noise.
Dual Native Gain
The sensor in your Blackmagic Studio Camera is optimized for shooting in low light conditions
as well as bright daylight.
Adjust the gain for the varying lighting conditions and the dual native gain feature will operate
in the background to make sure your footage is clean and has minimal noise at low and high
gain settings.
When the gain setting is between -12dB and 8dB the native gain of 0dB is used as a reference
point. The gain range between 10dB and 36dB uses the native gain of 18dB as a reference.
If you are shooting in conditions where you have a choice between 8dB or 10dB we suggest
closing down one stop on your lens' iris so that you can select 10dB as it will engage the higher
native gain and provide much cleaner results.
