Extensive Input and Output Capacity
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD is designed to handle the most demanding live production environments with its impressive 40 3G-SDI inputs. Each input supports formats up to 1080p60, allowing for high-definition video from multiple sources, including cameras, computers, and media players. With 24 3G-SDI outputs, users can route video signals to different monitors, recorders, and broadcast feeds, offering maximum flexibility for complex setups.
Advanced 4 M/E Control System
The switcher’s 4 Mix Effect (M/E) rows provide the power to manage multi-layered productions, with each M/E row offering its own keying, transitions, and effects. This flexibility is particularly useful in large-scale productions, such as sports broadcasts or live concerts, where different teams or operators may handle specific camera feeds, graphic overlays, or transitions independently.
Professional Chroma Keying and DVE
Equipped with 16 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD is ideal for productions involving virtual sets or green screen environments. This allows multiple layers of chroma keying across different inputs, making it perfect for news, sports, or other broadcast environments where sophisticated graphics and effects are required. The built-in Digital Video Effects (DVE) engine enables smooth picture-in-picture effects, wipes, and other dynamic transitions.
Multiview Monitoring and Customizable Outputs
The switcher includes a multiview feature, which allows operators to monitor multiple inputs, program feeds, previews, and additional outputs on a single screen. The customizable multiview layout lets users track up to 16 sources, providing a complete overview of the production in real-time. This is crucial for large productions where various camera angles and graphics need to be tracked and switched seamlessly.
Integrated Fairlight Audio Mixer
Audio quality is essential for professional live productions, and the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD includes a Fairlight audio mixer with multiple channels of audio control. Supporting both SDI-embedded audio and analog sources, the audio mixer provides full equalization, dynamics processing, and level adjustments, ensuring that audio is mixed to broadcast standards.
Powerful Software and Hardware Integration
The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD is fully compatible with ATEM Software Control, enabling complete remote control from a computer. This allows users to manage inputs, effects, transitions, and audio from a distance, making it easier to handle large or multi-location events. Additionally, the switcher supports Blackmagic’s hardware control panels for tactile control, giving operators a more hands-on experience during live productions.
SuperSource and Real-Time Effects
With SuperSource, the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD allows for multi-box compositions, ideal for interviews or panel discussions where multiple video feeds are displayed simultaneously on-screen. Combined with advanced transitions, stingers, and customizable macros, this switcher can create visually engaging broadcasts with professional-quality effects in real time.
Redundant Power and Professional Design
For critical live broadcasts, the switcher includes redundant power supplies to ensure uninterrupted operation. Its rack-mountable design allows for easy integration into professional production setups, whether in a studio, control room, or OB truck. This makes the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD a reliable choice for high-pressure, mission-critical environments.
Versatile Applications
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD is ideal for a wide range of live production scenarios. In broadcast environments, it handles complex multi-camera setups with ease, while in live event production, it offers flexible control over cameras, graphics, and effects. Whether for live sports, concerts, corporate events, or large studio productions, this switcher’s extensive features and scalability make it a go-to solution for professionals.
