Macros are saved as XML files that can even be edited with a standard text editor so you can combine them together to build sophisticated sequences that would be impossible to execute manually during a live production!

Even if you’re working in SD or HD now, your ATEM live production switcher is always ready for Ultra HD whenever you need it!
The flexibility to work in SD, HD or Ultra HD
All switchers support 6G-SDI so you can work in the highest quality Ultra HD, and because the SDI connections are regular BNC connectors, you can also select the switcher to any format and simply plug in your SD or HD equipment. 6G-SDI supports any SDI format from SD, HD up to Ultra HD 2160p30. That means 6G-SDI gives you compatibility to work in any format, plus you can switch to Ultra HD for incredible quality that’s 4 times the resolution of HD! Work in SD, 720p, 1080i or 1080p up to 60fps as well as Ultra HD up to 30 fps all on the one switcher!
When you need high frame rate, fast action production!
The incredibly advanced ATEM 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K model goes beyond the 6G-SDI of other ATEM switchers because it includes the latest 12G-SDI for twice the frame rate of the other models, up to an incredible 2160p60. That’s frame rates of up to 60 fps in Ultra HD! 12G-SDI also supports all regular 720p, 1080i and 1080p HD video formats, which means you have the switcher you can use today for regular HD work, while being ready for Ultra HD when you need! Only 12G-SDI gives you high frame rate Ultra HD via a single BNC connection that also plugs into all your regular HD equipment!
Full camera control from your switcher!
Get full control of your cameras right from the ATEM software control! The Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and Blackmagic Studio Cameras can be direct controlled via the SDI program feed back to the camera, so you can control their built in camera settings and full color corrector, all remotely from the ATEM software control panel! When it comes to control you get two options for camera control, a CCU layout for traditional camera control style, or a color corrector interface which is almost identical to the DaVinci Resolve’s primary color corrector so you can use all your creative color correction skills from DaVinci Resolve for adding incredible styles and innovative looks to live production!
Live mix multi channel audio from your cameras in real time!
All ATEM switchers feature a powerful built in multi channel audio mixer! You can mix your camera audio and other video sources from both HDMI and SDI inputs, as well as external audio from the analog XLR and HiFi audio inputs. You can use the ATEM audio mixer for direct input mixing or use audio follow video mixing where the audio automatically crossfades when switching from one input to another. The analog audio inputs are great for microphones, audio mixers, music players and more!
Feed big screens on stage!
ATEM switchers have independent auxiliary outputs that are perfect for feeding big video screens on stage or can also be used to send “clean feeds” without on air graphics to recorders for program mastering. The front panel buttons and screen make it easy to select sources such that you want to send to the aux output. Auxiliary outputs can be selected to any video input, media players, the preview bus, test signals and more! Aux outputs are fantastic for tech monitoring with SmartScope Duo 4K.
Switcher control on Mac or PC!
Included free with every ATEM live production switcher is the beautifully designed ATEM software control panel for both Mac and Windows. With a full visual switcher control panel and parameter palettes for quick switcher adjustments, you can load graphics into the media pool, adjust the audio mixer, control and balance cameras, update switcher settings and more! For the ultimate in portability you can use the ATEM software on a laptop, so you can work easily in small spaces with full control of all the switcher’s features!
Professional hardware based switcher for incredible reliability
Broadcast and live production situations demand mission critical reliability! That’s why ATEM Switchers use an internal aviation quality operating system! Cheap computer based switchers interrupt the video if the computer crashes, while ATEM doesn’t have this problem because the computer is only the control panel! With ATEM you still have video output so your live event is protected from any possible computer failure. Simply use other control panels or restart your computer without interruption to the program!
