The Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO is a fully-featured live production switcher that combines advanced broadcasting capabilities with ISO recording features, making it a versatile solution for professionals in live production, broadcasting, and post-production environments. This switcher is designed to handle multi-camera productions efficiently while offering isolated recording of all inputs for later editing.

With 8x 3G-SDI inputs, the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO can handle multiple HD video sources, whether from cameras, computers, or other video devices, all while maintaining frame synchronization thanks to the built-in input re-sync feature. This ensures that regardless of the source format, all inputs are perfectly synced, making it ideal for live broadcasts, event coverage, or corporate streaming.

One of the standout features of the HD8 ISO model is its ISO recording capability, which allows you to record each of the 8 SDI inputs separately in high-quality formats. This feature is invaluable for post-production, as it allows editors to reconstruct the live event with full control over each camera angle, perfect for creating alternate versions of the production or fixing any errors that may have occurred during the live event.

Additionally, the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO integrates live streaming, making it easy to broadcast your production directly to platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, or custom RTMP servers. This is ideal for live event producers, churches, or corporate users who need to stream content to a global audience without requiring additional streaming hardware.

Recording can also be done directly to external USB-C storage, allowing for extended recording times and easy access to media files for editing after the live event. With support for professional broadcast formats, the HD8 ISO ensures that all recorded media is ready for high-end editing applications such as DaVinci Resolve.

The built-in multiview allows for comprehensive monitoring of all sources, previews, and programs simultaneously on a single display, making it easy for the production team to keep track of the entire production workflow. The multiview can be customized to show all 8 inputs, along with program and preview windows, audio meters, and more, providing a complete overview of your live broadcast.

For audio, the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO includes an advanced Fairlight audio mixer, which supports multiple channels of audio from both SDI and analog inputs. With equalization, dynamics processing, and the ability to mix audio from each camera and input source, it ensures that audio quality is broadcast-ready. This makes it a powerful tool for live events where high-quality audio is as important as the video content.

The switcher also supports real-time transitions, effects, and graphics, including professional-quality wipes, fades, and keyers. The ATEM HD8 ISO offers seamless integration with external graphic systems, allowing broadcasters to overlay graphics, titles, and lower thirds, essential for live sports, news broadcasts, and other professional productions.

For remote and extended control, the switcher works with ATEM Software Control, which allows producers to manage the switcher from a computer via Ethernet or USB. This opens up the ability to have multiple users control different aspects of the production, such as camera switching, audio mixing, or graphic overlay, even if they are not on-site.

The compact design of the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO ensures it can be used in a variety of environments, from portable live event setups to fixed broadcast installations. Its robust feature set makes it suitable for professional broadcasting, live sports production, corporate streaming, educational setups, houses of worship, and more.
