Another disruptive, segment-defining product from BMD

At this point you know the deal with these ATEM switchers from Blackmagic Design. Now with 4 independent outputs, SDI interconnectivity, and some nice enhancements to the previous Extreme ISO. This thing is well built and delivers on all of the promised functionality, and nothing else on the market can touch the power, flexibility, small form factor, and ease of use.

Small and Powerful!

I bought this to replace the HDMI version and both are great! So much power in such a small and affordable package. Well done Blackmagic!

Just imagine the power of a professional, high-quality live production switcher that's not only versatile but also user-friendly and easy to set up. The ATEM SDI Live Production Switcher by Blackmagic Design is a game-changer in the broadcasting industry. This durable and reliable switcher is designed for broadcasters who require extreme portability without compromising on advanced broadcast features.

The ATEM SDI switcher comes with 4 standards converted SDI inputs, a USB webcam, 2 SDI outputs, a Fairlight audio mixer with EQ and dynamics, and a DVE for picture-in-picture effects. It also includes transition effects, a green screen chroma key, and a 20 stills media pool for titles.

This switcher is part of the ATEM SDI family, which is renowned for its ultra-portable live production capabilities. The ATEM SDI models are similar to the ATEM Mini, but they feature 3G-SDI video connections and double the number of video outputs. Depending on the model, you can get 4 or 8 SDI inputs, all of which feature standards converters and re-sync.

The ATEM SDI switcher is designed to connect advanced broadcast-quality cameras and recorders, opening up a new world of ultra-portable live production. Its compact design allows you to fit a whole broadcast-quality live production system in a small bag or even a backpack.

The ATEM SDI switcher is not just easy to use, but it's also fast to learn. It features large, easy-to-use buttons for selecting sources, video effects, and transitions. The Pro and Extreme models even have buttons for recording and streaming control, as well as output selection buttons that let you change the video output between program, direct camera feeds, and the multiview.

The ATEM SDI switcher also features a USB that operates as a simple webcam source, ensuring maximum compatibility with any video software in full resolution 1080HD quality. This makes it perfect for presentations with a professional multi-camera broadcast-quality style.

In addition, the ATEM SDI Pro and Extreme models have a built-in hardware streaming engine for live streaming via their Ethernet connections. This means you can live stream to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch in better quality, without dropped frames and with simpler settings.

The ATEM SDI switcher is not just a live production switcher; it's a complete solution for broadcasters who need a reliable, high-quality, and user-friendly tool for their live productions. It's the perfect choice for interviews, advertorials, theater production, music performances, sports, and more.
