Talkback Advice

Hey!

So I currently use an ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO. With any of the Blackmagic studio cameras (such as the Blackmagic Broadcast Camera g2), talkback is integrated and works great! My problem arises when I use Non-Blackmagic cameras in the system and also want to use talkback. I know I could just buy a third party wireless talkback system, but I first want to try to get it working with what I have already.

I noticed that the ATEM HD8 has a talkback RJ45 port on the back, so I was curious if I could get that working. I'd like to run a line to each camera and use either 3.5mm or 5 pin xlr as the camera end headset.

I looked it up in the manual and there's basically no documentation on how it work besides a pin out diagram. (I attached some screenshots in this post). I'm quite confused as to how I can get this working, especially if I want to use it with multiple cameras. Can anyone provide insight? Thank you
