Description

Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4k Plus (SWATEMSCN2/2ME4/4K/P) is the world’s most powerful HD and 4K live production switchers! These powerful switchers are available in 1 M/E models with 10 inputs, 2 M/E models with 20 inputs, 4 M/E models with 40 inputs, and a 4 M/E 4K Plus model with a massive 80 inputs! Plus each SDI input has a dedicated standards converter!

ATEM Constellation includes advanced features such as DVEs, ATEM advanced chroma key, media players, multi-views, and SuperSource processors! Plus the built in Fairlight audio mixer includes a compressor, limiter, 6 band parametric EQ and expander on each input. The free ATEM Software Control is included, or you can add a 1 M/E, 2 M/E or 4 M/E ATEM Advanced Panel!

Seriously Advanced Broadcast Power

ATEM Constellation switchers boast a compact rack mount design, complete with a built-in control panel. So you can operate the switcher from the front panel during setup or for emergency use. Also included is a large LCD so you can see the program output and change switcher settings. The compact design is perfect for portable live production, with the rear of the switcher including connections for 3G-SDI or 12G-SDI inputs, aux outputs, balanced audio and Ethernet for control. The top 4 M/E models even include RS-422 for serial control and MADI digital audio connections. Even with all this power, ATEM Constellation is extremely quiet with its innovative high efficiency thermal system.

Designed forMassive Live Events!

ATEM Constellation switchers are ideal for concerts and music festivals because you can place cameras on all areas of the stage for amazing coverage! Even live sports benefit from the huge number of inputs and DVEs that let you build multi-layer compositions to cover the action. The fastest way to produce programming is live! With powerful internal graphics and lots of ATEM advanced chroma keyers, you get everything you need for complex program production. ATEM Constellation is also perfect for house of worship programming as it’s big enough to allow professional results, but it’s very simple to learn so it’s easy to train a volunteer crew!

True Broadcast Style Mix Effects Switching

ATEM Constellation uses a professional “program/preview” style operation, which is the exact same way large broadcasters use live production switchers. This means you are using the same type of switcher used by the television industry. Both the free ATEM Software Control and the optional hardware ATEM Advanced Panels will allow program/preview style switching. This means you can select a source on the preview bus to ensure it’s correct before pushing the CUT or AUTO button to switch it on air. This 2 step program/preview process means far fewer mistakes! Program/preview operation means ATEM Constellation is the best solution for training students for a career in broadcast television!

Full Front Panel Control

With a control panel built into the front panel, you can simply walk up and operate the ATEM Constellation at any time. ATEM Constellation has similar software to the ATEM Mini, so it’s a fantastic upgrade when you need a bigger switcher! Plus the front panel control buttons are the same premium type used on full sized panels so they are extremely reliable. You can even control keyers, media and fade to black from the front panel! There is an industry standard 5 pin talkback headset connector on the front panel, with controls for talkback control. Plus the front panel LCD and menu buttons also allow almost every single operational feature of the switcher to be accessed!
