The Blackmagic ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus is a 4 RU Ultra HD live production switcher with 80 standards converted 12G-SDI inputs and 48 dedicated 12G-SDI outputs, built for large scale broadcast and live event productions that need a deep bank of sources and outputs in a single frame.
Four M/E rows carry 16 ATEM Advanced Keyers, 20 linear and luma keyers, 4 stinger and 4 DVE transition keyers for 28 total layers, while 2 SuperSource processors add 12 DVEs worth of picture in picture and multi box compositing. Every input has its own standards converter and frame rate converter, so sources of different formats and rates can be mixed freely.
Four MADI outputs break out audio from the first 60 SDI inputs, and 2 MADI inputs add 128 extra mixer channels, with 6 band parametric EQ and full dynamics processing on every channel and Fairlight Live support for surround and immersive mixes over USB. Free ATEM Software Control runs the whole switcher from a computer, with optional ATEM Advanced Panels for hands on control.
