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 SwitchingATEM Constellation HD 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.

On the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD model, you can even loop out audio channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 from SDI inputs 1 to 30 to the two MADI digital audio outputs, so you can hand off the switcher input audio to an external audio engineer for mixing.Up to 24 3G-SDI OutputsThe ATEM Constellation HD family have a massive number of fully independent 3G-SDI outputs. 4 M/E model has a massive 24 x 3G-SDI outputs.

All SDI outputs contain program audio, RP-188 timecode, SDI camera control, tally and talkback.USB Webcam Output for Video SoftwareTo help with live streaming, the USB-C connection on ATEM Constellation HD operates as a webcam source.

ATEM Constellation HD also supports SDI talkback that uses SDI channels 15 and 16 for 2-way communication with Blackmagic Design cameras. You can even use channels 13 & 14 for engineering talkback. It's even possible to mix the talkback mic into the program audio for voiceovers!Internal Media for Stills and Motion GraphicsThe built in media pool stores broadcast quality RGBA graphics and animations that can be played back instantly by the 2 or 4 media players. Media players simply appear as additional input sources on the ATEM Constellation HD, so you don't have to use extra SDI inputs for graphics. The built in media pool holds graphics for use with the media players & the 4 M/E model can hold 60 stills & 600 frame animations

The fact it has up/down converters built into each input was a game changer. Makes everything so much easier when it is all one format. Easy to set up and operate.

Great quality, great features

This is a great switcher. It's very powerful for the price with the amount of USKs and DSKs available, super source options, 2 mix effects, and for our production the biggest plus is the number of inputs and outputs as well as USB out. My only complaint is that I wish it handled audio in a better manner than a 1/4" TRS stereo jack. However, it still functions perfectly. Other than that, this is the perfect switcher for us, a high school sports broadcast team.

Nearly Perfect
