Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD Live Production Switcher
Details
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD is a high definition live production switcher that includes 40 standards converted 3G SDI inputs and 24 independent 3G SDI aux outputs. It also includes a USB webcam output, SuperSource processor, DVEs, chroma keyers, media players, multiviews and more. You even get built in talkback and a professional built in Fairlight audio mixer with EQ and dynamics.
The Blackmagic Atem 4M/E live switcher features a reference video input, and each input features a frame synchronizer, frame rate converter, and format converter. This allows you to mix and match cameras, formats, cameras that do not feature genlock, and video input from computer sources. Upstream and downstream keyers and effects are supported. All this is done live and in real time with no rendering required. You can control the switcher using the integrated front panel, optional Blackmagic ATEM panels, or via the downloadable control software.
