ATEM Television Studio

Specifications The Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio Production Switcher is a versatile 1 RU switcher that is far more powerful than you could expect. For example, live-switch a multi-camera session of a concert with a mix of high-definition HD-SDI and HDMI output camcorders - the ATEM six-input TV studio can handle it even by applying a frame synchronization For each entry. That means that genlocked expensive cameras simply are not necessary. The three keyers included in the ATEM Control Panel software allow you to add professional graphics such as logos and keys (the switcher has two media player frame stores). Using a green screen, you can even chroma key an artist against a graphic background - live. Meanwhile, you can encode the live show to H.264 in real time by producing a high-quality, professionally-compressed HD file that will be ready for easy upload to the web the minute the show runs out. Another cost-saving feature is multi-view output, which allows you to display up to 10 video sources on any HDMI or HD-SDI-enabled screen. This saves not only money but also space: there is simply no need to carry and maintain a battery full of video monitors. For all its ease of use, ATEM Television Studio also accommodates live production operations with growth in mind. Maybe you will move from HDMI to HD-SDI camcorders in the near future - the switcher is ready. Or maybe you want a professional hardware control panel - ATEM 1 M / E Blackmagic and 2 M / E panels (not included) both connect to the switcher via Ethernet. In any case, the operation of the switcher will be familiar to anyone with an understanding of transmission switching. This is a professional 10-bit HD switcher that only happens to accommodate low budget productions with unexpected finesse.
