This Ultra HD switcher is engineered with a comprehensive built-in broadcast control panel, offering a seamless and sophisticated live production experience.

The ATEM Television Studio 4K8 is equipped with eight 12G-SDI inputs, each capable of auto re-syncing, which means you can effortlessly connect multiple cameras for various angles and perspectives. Whether you're using the Blackmagic Studio Camera or the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2, the superior low light performance and professional lens compatibility ensure your footage is of the highest quality.

With ten 12G-SDI aux outputs, this switcher is ideal for external recording, enabling you to capture every moment in stunning clarity. The four-port 10G Ethernet switch enhances connectivity, making it perfect for networked environments and shared storage solutions.

The built-in streaming capabilities and master recorder allow for direct live streaming to your audience worldwide, while the integrated multiview feature lets you monitor all camera feeds simultaneously. USB webcam support expands your input options, and the two Digital Video Effects (DVEs) units provide creative picture-in-picture compositions and other dynamic transitions.

The ATEM Television Studio 4K8 is not just about video; it also includes a robust audio mixer and talkback system, ensuring clear communication and audio management during live events. The four ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers enable high-quality green screen keying for virtual sets and overlays, while the two media players facilitate the use of broadcast-quality graphics and animations.

This all-in-one television studio simplifies the production process with hardware streaming, recording, and an intuitive control panel featuring high-end buttons for source selection, transitions, and video effects. The built-in t-bar allows for manual transition control, and the dedicated LCD for audio mixing provides real-time metering.
