Live event HD switching

The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD is a camcorder kit built for professional live production. It supports 3G/HD-SDI at 10-bit quality and provides 20 3G-SDI inputs with 12 3G-SDI outputs. The system includes a 48-channel audio mixer and eight upstream plus two downstream keyers. It suits broadcasters and event teams needing multi-camera switching in a single rack unit.

Thermals noise and power

The unit fits into a 1 RU chassis designed for continuous operation in rack environments. Each of the 20 inputs features a frame synchroniser, frame rate converter and format converter. This allows mixed sources to be combined without external processing. The integrated Fairlight audio mixer handles up to 28 channels per input while the multiview supports up to 16 monitoring windows.

Upgrade path and fit

This switcher replaces older HD mixers that lack built-in format conversion on every input. It upgrades workflows relying on separate audio consoles by integrating a 48-channel Fairlight mixer. The USB Type-C webcam output adds direct streaming capability without extra hardware. It is not for buyers who need 4K or 12G-SDI connectivity or who require more than 20 physical inputs.
