Unleash Unprecedented Power for Massive HD Live Productions
Meet the Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD, the pinnacle of live production switching for the most demanding HD environments. Engineered for massive live events like concerts, music festivals, and high-action sports, this switcher packs unparalleled power into a compact 2RU rack-mount design. With a staggering 40 standards-converted 3G-SDI inputs, you can connect a vast array of cameras and sources, each running different television standards, and they will simply work. The intuitive front control panel, complete with an LCD screen and premium buttons, allows for critical operation on the fly, making it a fantastic upgrade for those familiar with the ATEM Mini workflow but in need of a much larger switcher.
The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD operates on a professional program/preview style, the same trusted workflow used by major broadcasters, which minimizes on-air mistakes and serves as an excellent training tool for aspiring professionals. Beyond video, this is the first live production switcher to fully integrate a professional Fairlight audio mixer. With up to 156 channels, every SDI input benefits from a 6-band parametric EQ, compressor, limiter, and more, delivering pristine, complex live sound mixing without external gear. From its powerful internal graphics and numerous ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers for building complex virtual sets, to its built-in talkback and flexible multiview outputs, the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD provides everything you need for sophisticated, world-class productions. And with all features included from day one at no extra cost, you can deploy its full potential without worrying about licenses or subscriptions.

There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. 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.
