Blackmagic Design has introduced the ATEM Television Studio is a professional live production switcher built into a broadcast control panel.
It is a switcher with 8 standards converted SDI inputs, aux outputs, 4 chroma keyers, 2 downstream keyers, SuperSource, 2 media players and a range of transitions.
It also features an ISO model that records all 8 inputs for editing.
Users simply press any of the program row buttons on the front panel to cut between video sources. Users select from transitions such as dissolve, or more dramatic effects such as dip to colour, DVE squeeze and DVE push. Users can even add a DVE for picture in picture effects with customised graphics, when can then be live streamed.
The ATEM Television Studio combines a switcher and control panel into the same unit, so is portable. The front panel includes buttons for selecting sources, triggering transitions and setting up video effects.
The front panel even has an audio mixer control area with live metering on a dedicated LCD.
ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO supports recording all video inputs to optional M.2 internal flash storage, the internal storage will then be available to share over the local Ethernet network. This means users can work on post production tasks such as editing, colour correction and graphics preparation while recording new live content.
