Blackmagic Design ATEM Production Studio 4K

Meet Blackmagic Design ATEM Production Studio 4K, the world’s first Ultra HD 4K production switcher with support for Ultra HD live production with 6G-SDI and HDMI 4K technology! The new ATEM Production Studio 4K lets customers connect up to 8 SD, HD or Ultra HD 4K video cameras, disk recorders and computers for live production. ATEM Production Studio 4K includes all the features expected from a professional switcher, including chroma key, transitions, media pool, downstream keyers, audio mixer, multi view and the world’s first 6G-SDI and HDMI 4K video connections.

Professional Live Coverage
The new ATEM Production Studio 4K lets customers connect up to 8 SD, HD or Ultra HD 4K video cameras, disk recorders and computers for live production. ATEM Production Studio 4K includes all the features expected from a professional switcher, including chroma key, transitions, media pool, downstream keyers, audio mixer, multi view and the world’s first 6G-SDI and HDMI 4K video connections.

ATEM Production Studio 4K lets customers work and master to Ultra HD when used with the HyperDeck Studio Pro, which has Ultra HD and 6G-SDI support. This allows important events to be captured in the television format of the future and is perfect for live music events, sporting events, theatre productions, program production, conferences and more.

Incredible Ultra HD 4K
Ultra HD 4K is four times the resolution of regular high definition video for a massive 3840 x 2160 frame size. The new 6G-SDI and HDMI 4K video connections effortlessly handle Ultra HD 4K and customers can connect all cameras using a single cable. Even when operating in Ultra HD 4K every input includes a frame synchronizer allowing the use of non genlock sources such as computers. There is also a high definition down converted HD-SDI program output for when the switcher is operating in Ultra HD formats, but a regular HD program feed is required.

Elegant and Compact Design
The ATEM Production Studio 4K features a strong and elegant machined aluminum front design. The front panel key pad lets customers select between auxiliary output sources and the small LCD screen provides instant feedback on the status of the auxiliary output. The aux switching is also a valuable tech monitoring tool for setting up and for live aux switching during production.

Software and Hardware Control
The ATEM Production Studio 4K includes the ATEM Software Control Panel for both Mac and Windows that provides complete control of the switcher from a laptop or desktop computer. This software provides full control of transitions, keyers, built in audio mixer and switcher settings. If customers prefer working with a traditional hardware control panel they can add either a ATEM 1 M/E Broadcast Panel or ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel.

Multi View Monitoring
ATEM Production Studio 4K features built in multi view monitoring so customers can view all sources on a single SDI monitor or HDMI TV, which results in large cost and spacing savings when compared to using multiple small video monitors for viewing switcher sources. Because the multi view output is down converted to HD, even when operating in Ultra HD 4K, customers can still use a commonly available HD monitor or television. Multi view includes independent views for program, preview and 8 switcher sources.

Creative Transitions
ATEM Production Studio 4K includes the same high quality transitions found on regular high definition professional switchers, but now all these transitions operate in native Ultra HD 4K. Customers get the choice of mix, dip and wipe effects with full control of the transition type, pattern, length and other attributes. ATEM Production Studio 4K includes 2 built in media players that can store up to 20 full resolution Ultra HD 4K still frames with key and fill. Media players are ideal for lower third name straps, logos and more. ATEM Production Studio 4K also includes a Photoshop plug in that allows direct download graphics and titles from Photoshop to the switcher. For seamless multi layering, ATEM Production Studio 4K includes 1 upstream keyer and 2 downstream keyers. The upstream keyer includes independent chroma, pattern, shaped and linear keying.

Audio Mixer
A built in audio mixer is also included that allows any switcher to use embedded HDMI and SDI audio from cameras as well as external audio from the analog XLR and HiFi audio inputs. Customers can use the mixer in direct input mixing or in audio follow video where the audio from each camera will automatically be cross faded while switching. The analog audio inputs are great for microphones, audio mixers or music players.

Extreme Reliability
ATEM Production Studio 4K uses an aviation grade operating system that ensures mission critical reliability, unlike cheap computer based switchers that interrupt video if the computer crashes. With ATEM Production Studio 4K there will still be video output even if one of the control panels loses power or crashes, so the live event is protected from these problems. The front panel aux switching can be used to switch via the aux output until your computer is up and running again!
