All video sources will re-sync to the switcher, even if they operate at different video standards. Video cameras with SDI outputs such as Blackmagic Studio Camera or Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 are much better quality as they have better low light performance and they use professional lenses.

With 4 or 8 video inputs, depending on the model, ATEM SDI lets you connect multiple cameras for different views of the performance. There are even 'media players' which are a still store for titles and graphics that you can load via external software control. Add a DVE effect for picture in picture effects with customized picture positions and background. You can select from exciting transitions such as dissolve, or more dramatic effects such as dip to colour, DVE squeeze and DVE push. Unlike cut, the auto button tells ATEM SDI to use a video effect when switching inputs. You can choose between cut or effects transitions by selecting the cut or auto buttons. There's never been a switcher that’s easier to use, as you simply press any of the input buttons labelled by number on the front panel to cut between video sources. On the rear panel there are SDI connections for cameras, extra microphone inputs, USB for webcam plus multiple SDI 'aux' outputs for program video. The ATEM SDI Pro and Extreme models have buttons for recording and streaming control, as well as output selection buttons that let you change the video output between program, direct camera feeds and the multiview. The source buttons are large so it’s possible to use it by feel, letting the presenter do the switching. The front panel includes easy to use buttons for selecting sources, video effects and transitions. SELF CONTAINED BROADCAST QUALITY SWITCHERĪTEM SDI’s compact all in one design includes both a control panel as well as connections. Unlike single camera remote shoots, ATEM SDI lets you connect multiple cameras so you can create interesting remote interviews with multiple camera angles. You can use multiple cameras on location and live stream direct to YouTube, or create a broadcast quality link back to a studio with ATEM Streaming Bridge.

A NEW GENERATION OF ULTRA PORTABLE LIVE PRODUCTIONĪTEM SDI gives you the portable design of ATEM Mini, but its SDI connections means you can connect advanced broadcast quality cameras and recorders.
