Unleash Unprecedented Power with the Blackmagic ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus
When your live production demands the ultimate in power, flexibility, and scale, the Blackmagic ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus rises to the challenge. This massive 4 M/E Ultra HD live production switcher is engineered to be the nerve center for the most ambitious broadcasts, concerts, and live events. It's designed for professionals who refuse to compromise on quality or capability.
Imagine a canvas with 80 separate 12G-SDI inputs, each equipped with its own up and cross converter. This groundbreaking feature means you can connect virtually any 4K, Ultra HD, or HD source—from cameras and computers to media players—without worrying about matching formats. The switcher seamlessly converts everything to your project's standard, saving you the cost and complexity of external gear and simplifying your setup dramatically.
With an incredible 48 independently routable 12G-SDI auxiliary outputs, you have complete control over your signal distribution. Send unique feeds to on-stage projectors, multi-view monitors for your crew, master recorders, and streaming encoders simultaneously. The possibilities for complex signal routing are nearly limitless, giving you the power to feed every screen and device with a dedicated output.
Unleash your creative vision with a formidable suite of built-in tools. The switcher boasts four powerful Digital Video Effects (DVE) processors, 16 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, four media players, and two SuperSource processors. This allows for sophisticated multi-layer compositions, stunning virtual sets, and dynamic picture-in-picture effects that would typically require a much larger and more expensive system.
Professional video demands professional audio. The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus integrates a massive 156-channel Fairlight audio mixer, complete with EQ and dynamics on every channel. Mix all your audio sources directly within the switcher to ensure pristine, broadcast-quality sound without the need for a separate audio console. Built-in talkback and a robust tally system ensure your entire production crew is perfectly in sync, from the director to the camera operators.

Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
