The Blackmagic Design ATEM Production Switcher is a versatile switcher that will meet your multi-camera switch shoot needs. It supports a mix of high-definition HD-SDI and HDMI-output camcorders - the six-input ATEM Television Studio can handle it.

Black magic also allows you to add professional graphics such as logos and keys. Using a green screen, you can even chroma-key a performer against a graphical background - live. Meanwhile, you can be encoding the live concert to H.264 in real time, producing high-quality, professionally compressed HD file that will be ready for easy upload to the web the minute the show is over. 

In terms of display options, the switcher supports video sources on any HDMI-or HD-SDI-enabled screen. This is a professional 10-bit HD switcher that accommodates shows that are small to medium in size. About 1 to 200 people with unexpected finesse.

Here are a few key features of Blackmagic's broadcast capabilities: You get four upstream keys, each with independent chroma, pattern, shaped and linear keying. You also get two downstream keys and independent fade to black. Add unprecedented creativity with graphic wipes and stinger transitions using the two built-in media players. For the ultimate in professional live production, you can use the built-in DVE for amazing DVE transitions or key repositioning. When you're on the move, the built-in multi-view monitoring totally eliminates monitoring costs because all cameras, preview and program can be viewed on a single SDI or HDMI monitor - multi-view has outputs for both. Built-in media players.

There are several ports and options for HDMI connection. Unlike other switchers, every single video input features an automatic frame re-synchronizer, so you can plug in any device and it always works.  That means you can save thousands because you don't need expensive genlock cameras, and you can even plug in computers. Imagine getting started with sophisticated multi-camera production using the latest low-cost and high quality HD consumer cameras. ATEM Television Studio includes SDI and HDMI program outputs, and you can connect the USB 2.0 port to any computer to record your program feed live, directly to high-quality H.264 files, which can be used for the web (not for live streaming). ATEM Television Studio includes built-in black, bars, media player and color generator sources. It also comes with both SDI and HDMI multi-view outputs.

When you're in the middle of a busy live production, the last thing you need is to make a mistake. ATEM includes a transition preview function that's as easy to use as pushing the Preview Transition button. The Preview Transition button lets you see how the transition will look on the preview output of the switcher. Now you can see the effect before it goes on air. 

Blackmagic has an Adobe Photoshop plug-in for incredible character and title generation, every ATEM includes a Photoshop plug-in that lets you instantly download graphics and titles from Photoshop directly into the ATEM media pool. Imagine the moment a live event happens, you can update your Photoshop file and instantly download it into the ATEM media player: now you can get titles on air in seconds. Because Photoshop is the standard tool for millions of graphic designers, it's easy to get help to create your own custom graphics. ATEM supports rendered stills and clip sequences from Photoshop, After Effects Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and many more programs.

Webcast Equipment

Both of the webcast devices integrate with: Livestream, Ustream, YouTube, Twitch and much more. We bring two encoders to our webcast for back-up. You provide the content and let us deliver to your streaming service. 

Matrox Monarch HD supports sharing the H.264 encoder between the streaming and recording processes so recording quality and upload bandwidth are independent of each other. A typical setting will let a user record a master quality file at 25 Mbps while simultaneously streaming at a bitrate of 5 Mbps. As a dedicated streaming or recording appliance, Matrox Monarch HD can stream at bitrates up to 20 Mbps or record at bitrates as high as 30 Mbps.

Teradek VidiU gives you the freedom to broadcast live high definition video directly to the Web without a PC. Whether you're streaming out of a video switcher or wirelessly from your camera, VidiU allows you to go live when you want, where you want.
