Portable Live Production Switcher
The Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI is a compact live production switcher built for broadcasters who need extreme portability. It features a miniaturized control panel design that fits into tight spaces or mobile rigs. The unit supports connecting up to 4 cameras or computers simultaneously. All inputs automatically handle standards conversion and re-syncing.
Integration Into A Video Workflow
Four 3G-SDI inputs accept mixed video formats without external converters, freeing up rack space and cabling. Two SDI outputs deliver program and auxiliary feeds to recorders or monitors. A USB connection presents the switched program as a standard webcam source to streaming software on Mac or Windows. The built-in Fairlight audio mixer processes embedded or external audio with EQ and dynamics.
Included Software And Effects
Free ATEM Software Control for Mac and Windows provides full remote switching, audio mixing and media management from a laptop. The media pool stores up to 20 stills for titles, logos or backgrounds. An integrated DVE enables picture-in-picture layouts with 3D borders and shadows. Chroma keyers handle green screen compositing while transition effects include mix, dip and wipe options.
