Ultra HD 4K and 12G-SDI Connectivity
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K is built for large-scale productions requiring high-resolution 4K content. With 40 12G-SDI inputs, it supports Ultra HD up to 2160p60, allowing users to connect multiple 4K cameras, graphics systems, and other video sources with ease. The 12G-SDI technology ensures that each input can handle resolutions from HD up to Ultra HD 4K, providing the flexibility needed for today’s complex broadcasting needs.
Advanced 4 M/E Switching Capabilities
With 4 independent Mix Effect (M/E) rows, the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K gives production teams unprecedented control over multi-camera setups and complex layered effects. Each M/E row operates independently, providing powerful keying, transitions, and control, making the switcher perfect for large productions such as live sports, concerts, and multi-camera broadcasts where multiple teams or operators handle different aspects of the production.
Professional Chroma Keying and SuperSource
The switcher is equipped with 16 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, making it ideal for productions involving virtual sets or green screen environments. With the ability to perform multiple layers of chroma keying across different inputs, it’s perfect for news, sports, and entertainment broadcasts where professional-quality effects are essential. Additionally, SuperSource allows users to create multi-box compositions for interviews or split-screen displays, enhancing the visual storytelling of any production.
Flexible Multiview Monitoring
The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K includes a built-in multiview feature, which allows operators to monitor multiple inputs, program feeds, previews, and outputs simultaneously on a single screen. Up to 16 sources can be displayed at once, providing a comprehensive overview of the production. This feature is particularly valuable in fast-paced environments where operators need to keep track of multiple video feeds and ensure seamless transitions between shots.
Extensive SDI Outputs and Custom Routing
With 24 12G-SDI outputs, the switcher offers flexible routing options for distributing video signals to a variety of devices, including monitors, recorders, and other broadcast equipment. Each output is fully customizable, allowing users to assign different sources to different outputs based on the needs of the production. This is especially useful in large production setups where multiple video outputs are required for different purposes, such as live broadcast, recording, or live streaming.
Integrated Fairlight Audio Mixer
The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K includes a professional-grade Fairlight audio mixer, supporting audio from SDI and analog inputs. With full equalization, dynamics processing, and level control, the Fairlight mixer ensures that audio is broadcast-ready, making it an essential tool for live productions where audio clarity is just as important as video quality. Whether you’re handling live music, commentary, or multi-source audio, the mixer provides full control over all audio aspects of the production.
Real-Time Effects and Transitions
The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K supports a variety of real-time transitions and effects, including wipes, fades, and picture-in-picture (PIP). The built-in DVE (Digital Video Effects) engine allows for dynamic effects such as squeeze, spin, and 3D borders, adding a professional touch to any broadcast. The switcher also supports stinger transitions, macros, and custom graphics, ensuring that every production can have visually stunning and seamless transitions between shots.
Remote and Tactile Control
For easy control, the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K integrates with the ATEM Software Control application, allowing users to manage the switcher remotely from a computer. This software offers full control over inputs, keyers, transitions, and audio settings. Additionally, the switcher is compatible with Blackmagic’s hardware control panels for those who prefer a more tactile approach, providing direct access to all critical functions during live productions.
Reliable Power and Rack-Mountable Design
Designed for demanding professional environments, the switcher includes redundant power supplies to ensure continuous operation even during power interruptions. The rack-mountable 2RU form factor makes it easy to integrate into broadcast racks, OB trucks, or mobile production setups, ensuring that it can be used in a variety of production environments.
Versatile Applications for 4K Production
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K is ideal for a wide range of professional live production applications. Its ability to handle up to 40 Ultra HD inputs makes it a go-to solution for large-scale live sports broadcasts, concerts, studio productions, and corporate events. The switcher’s powerful M/E control, chroma keying, and multiview monitoring make it perfect for productions where multiple camera angles and complex visual effects are essential to the workflow.
