Rated 5 out of 5

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.

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.

Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO.

The Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is a Live Production Switcher that automatically standards, converts and re-syncs all SDI inputs, with built-in customizable 16 way multiview on ATEM SDI Extreme model and miniaturized control panel based design.

Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO

Effortless Live Streaming.

Live stream via Ethernet on ATEM SDI Pro and Extreme models, or phone tether for remote streaming via mobile data on ATEM SDI Pro and Extreme models. Records to USB disks in H.264 on ATEM SDI Pro and Extreme models. Supports connecting up to 8 cameras or computers.

Effortless Live Streaming.

Just imagine the power of a live production switcher that offers extreme portability and advanced broadcast features. The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO Live Production Switcher is designed for broadcasters who require a compact, yet powerful solution. This model is an upgrade from the ATEM SDI Pro ISO, boasting 8 SDI inputs and 4 SDI outputs, doubling the video output capabilities of its predecessor.

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO can record 9 separate H.264 video streams in real time, capturing all 8 clean feed inputs as well as the program video. This feature allows for comprehensive coverage of live events, ensuring no moment is missed. Additionally, a DaVinci Resolve project file is saved, providing an easy transition to post-production editing.

The ATEM SDI family of live production switchers are designed with portability in mind. They share similarities with the ATEM Mini, but offer 3G-SDI video connections and double the number of video outputs. The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO model stands out with its 8 SDI inputs, all featuring standards converters and re-sync capabilities.

The switcher also includes DVEs for picture-in-picture effects, enhancing the visual experience for your audience. The USB functionality allows for webcam connectivity, enabling easy video connection to computers. The Pro and Extreme models also feature built-in streaming capabilities, making live broadcasting a breeze.

For audio, the Fairlight mixer includes a compressor, limiter, and 6 band parametric EQ on each input, ensuring high-quality sound to accompany your visuals.

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO Live Production Switcher is more than just a switcher. It's a self-contained, broadcast-quality system that includes both a control panel and connections. The front panel features easy-to-use buttons for selecting sources, video effects, and transitions. The rear panel houses SDI connections for cameras, extra microphone inputs, USB for webcam, and multiple SDI "aux" outputs for program video.

The switcher is designed to be easy to use and fast to learn, with input buttons labelled by number on the front panel for quick source selection. You can choose between cut or effects transitions by selecting the cut or auto buttons.

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO Live Production Switcher allows you to connect up to 8 broadcast cameras, depending on the model, offering different views of the performance. All video sources will re-sync to the switcher, even if they operate at different video standards, ensuring a smooth and seamless production.

The switcher also features USB functionality 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.

The ATEM SDI Pro and ATEM SDI Extreme models also support direct recording of your streaming data to USB flash disks. This means you can have very long recordings in the same H.264 video files with AAC audio that you streamed, so you can direct upload to any online video site.

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO model allows you to edit your live event as it can record multiple video streams, including clean feeds of all inputs and program, all at the same time. This opens up a whole new world of post-production possibilities.

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO Live Production Switcher is a comprehensive solution for live production, offering advanced features in a compact, portable design. Whether you're broadcasting a live event, conducting remote interviews, or streaming a performance, the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO has you covered.
