Powerful live event HD switching, supporting up to 20 individual 3G/HD-SDI inputs built into a 1 RU chassis, is at hand with the Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD Live Production Switcher. Supporting 3G-SDI and HD-SDI signals, the switcher connects to a wide range of cameras and sources, delivering program output via 12 3G-SDI BNC outputs or a webcam output via USB-C. In addition, the switcher has two multiview outputs with up to 16 routable windows that can display inputs, keyed video, graphics, and stills from the media pool, as well as the program output. Each input connects to a built-in Fairlight audio mixer supporting up to 48 audio channels.
Broadcast-Quality Transitions
The ATEM Constellation HD includes many broadcast-quality native transitions such as mix, dip, wipe, and more. All transitions can be customized in the system control menus with adjustments for border color, width, position, direction, and more. The ATEM Constellation switcher includes a powerful digital video effects processor for DVE transitions, which can squeeze the current picture offscreen, revealing a new video under it. The DVE can even be used to create graphic wipe transitions. ATEM Constellation HD features a preview transition feature to eliminate errors so you can set up your transitions before you switch it on air.
