The fastest way to produce programming is live! With powerful internal graphics and lots of ATEM advanced chroma keyers, you get everything you need for complex program production. With 3 powerful models, ATEM Constellation HD switchers are ideal for concerts and music festivals because you can place cameras on all areas of the stage for amazing coverage! Even live sports benefit from the huge number of inputs and DVEs let you build multi-layer compositions to cover the action. Even with all this power, ATEM Constellation is extremely quiet with its innovative high efficiency thermal system. The top 4 M/E model even includes RS-422 for serial control and MADI digital audio connections. The compact design is perfect for portable live production, with the rear of the switcher including the connections for 3G-SDI inputs, 3G-SDI aux outputs, balanced audio and Ethernet for control. Also included is a large LCD so you can see program output and change switcher settings via on screen menus. This allows operation of the switcher, critical during setup or for emergency use.

“There are three great models with 3G-SDI video connections and some really great feature like DVEs for picture-in-picture effects, graphics, transitions, advanced chromakey and Fairlight audio mixer. “The new ATEM SDI live production switcher is perfect for broadcasters who want advanced, professional features while also looking for extreme portability,” said Blackmagic Design CEO Grant Petty.

The ISO models also save a DaVinci Resolve project file, making it possible to open a live production as a video edit, Blackmagic Design said. Video files include metadata tags, such as synced timecode and camera numbers. These models also allow users to edit live events because they can record multiple video streams, including clean feeds of all inputs and program at the same time.

Recording to multiple disks is supported via a USB hub to ensure recording continues even when a disk reaches its maximum storage capacity, it said. The ATEM SDI Pro and Extreme also support direct recording of streaming output to USB flash disks, making long recordings in the same H.264 video files with AAC audio possible to upload to any online video site. Extra microphone inputs are available as are USB for webcam use and multiple SDI aux outputs for program video, it said. The rear panel is where SDI sources are connected. The ATEM SDI Pro and Extreme models have buttons for recording and streaming control as well as output selection buttons to change video output between program, direct camera feeds and the multiviewer.
