Ultra HD 4K Support with 12G-SDI Connectivity
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K is designed for productions that demand high-resolution video and robust connectivity. It supports Ultra HD 4K video at frame rates up to 2160p60, making it ideal for high-end broadcasts and events. The switcher features 20 12G-SDI inputs, allowing it to handle multiple Ultra HD sources, such as cameras, graphics systems, and playback devices. The 12G-SDI inputs are backward compatible with HD and SD formats, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
Dual M/E Control for Complex Productions
The ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K offers two fully independent Mix Effect (M/E) rows, giving operators the ability to control multiple layers of video feeds, transitions, and effects simultaneously. This is especially useful for large-scale productions such as live sports, concerts, or multi-camera studio shows, where different teams may manage specific aspects of the broadcast. Each M/E row comes with its own set of keyers, transitions, and customizable macros, offering a powerful toolset for live video control.
Advanced Chroma Keying and Real-Time Effects
With 8 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, the ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K is ideal for productions requiring green screen and virtual sets. The chroma keyers allow for precise background removal and multi-layer compositing, perfect for news, sports broadcasts, or creative environments where virtual backgrounds or visual effects are needed. Additionally, the switcher includes a SuperSource engine with 4 DVE (Digital Video Effects) boxes, enabling the creation of multi-box compositions in real time, ideal for interviews or panel discussions.
Extensive SDI Outputs and Customizable Routing
The switcher provides 12 12G-SDI outputs, which can be routed independently to various destinations, such as monitors, recorders, or video walls. Each output is fully customizable, allowing users to assign different program feeds, multiview displays, or auxiliary outputs based on production needs. This flexibility is essential for multi-camera setups where different output feeds are required for different applications, such as live broadcast and live streaming.
Multiview Monitoring for Comprehensive Control
The ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K includes an integrated multiview system, enabling operators to monitor all inputs, program feeds, and previews on a single display. The multiview can show up to 16 sources at once, providing a comprehensive overview of the production in real time. This feature is particularly valuable in fast-paced environments where multiple camera angles, graphics, and media sources need to be tracked and switched seamlessly.
Professional Fairlight Audio Integration
Audio quality is just as important as video in live productions, and the ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K includes a Fairlight audio mixer to ensure broadcast-quality sound. The mixer supports multiple audio channels, including SDI-embedded audio and analog inputs, with advanced features such as dynamics control, equalization, and audio level adjustments. This makes it a powerful tool for managing live sound during concerts, interviews, or other events requiring professional audio mixing.
SuperSource for Multi-Box Effects
SuperSource is a key feature that allows for the creation of complex multi-box effects, useful in news broadcasts, talk shows, or any production requiring the display of multiple video sources on the screen at the same time. With 4 DVE boxes, SuperSource enables advanced compositions, such as picture-in-picture effects or side-by-side displays, all controlled in real time during the broadcast.
Remote and Hardware Control
The ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K can be fully controlled via the ATEM Software Control, allowing operators to manage the switcher from a computer remotely. The software interface provides access to all key features, including transitions, effects, keyers, and audio mixing. Additionally, the switcher is compatible with Blackmagic Design’s hardware control panels, offering a tactile, hands-on approach for live production professionals who prefer physical controls.
Redundant Power for Reliability
For critical live broadcasts, the ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K includes redundant power supplies to ensure continuous operation. This feature is crucial for live productions where any power interruption could result in a loss of broadcast or recording. The rack-mountable design also ensures that it can be easily integrated into broadcast racks, OB trucks, or other professional production environments.
Versatile Applications for 4K Productions
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation 4K is perfect for a wide range of live production applications, including live sports, large concerts, studio broadcasts, and corporate events. Its ability to handle 4K resolution across multiple inputs and outputs makes it a go-to solution for productions requiring high-quality video and complex switching capabilities. Whether used in a traditional broadcast environment or a high-tech streaming setup, this switcher delivers the performance and reliability needed for demanding live productions.
