Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI PRO ISO: Portable Live Production with ISO Recording
Elevate your productions with the Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI PRO ISO, the ultimate all-in-one live production switcher designed for broadcasters and content creators who demand extreme portability without sacrificing professional features. Building on the compact design of the ATEM Mini series, the ATEM SDI PRO ISO upgrades your workflow with 3G-SDI connections, unlocking compatibility with a world of advanced broadcast cameras and recorders. This self-contained unit fits in a backpack, empowering you to create sophisticated multi-camera shows from anywhere.
The ATEM SDI PRO ISO is engineered for speed and simplicity. The front panel features large, tactile buttons for intuitive source switching, effects, and audio mixing. Connect up to four professional SDI cameras and let the built-in standards converters and re-sync engines handle any format mismatches automatically. Go live in minutes with the powerful built-in hardware streaming engine, which sends your broadcast directly to platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch via its Ethernet connection. For maximum versatility, the USB-C output functions as a high-quality webcam, ensuring seamless integration with video software like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and OBS.
What truly sets the PRO ISO model apart is its revolutionary post-production workflow. It records five separate H.264 video streams in real-time: clean feeds of all four inputs plus the final program output. This means you capture every angle independently, giving you the power to completely re-edit your live event. To streamline this process, the ATEM SDI PRO ISO automatically saves a DaVinci Resolve project file. With a single click, your entire production opens as a multi-track video edit, with all cuts, dissolves, and graphics perfectly synced. You can fine-tune edits, replace shots, remix audio with the Fairlight mixer, and perform professional color correction, transforming your live event into a polished final master.

If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.
You will be liable for the shipping and any applicable customs/duty fees returning the item(s).

Customs, duties & taxes
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. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's 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.
