The Blackmagic Design ATEM Constellation IP is a family of live production switchers with familiar ATEM Constellation features and a more powerful design that's fully SMPTE-2110 native! This means you have the option of adding any mix of traditional 12G-SDI or modern SMPTE-2110 IP video. Plus all IP video connections are fully redundant and SMPTE-2022-7 compliant. ATEM Constellation IP is designed for the chaos of live production, as it will convert non-standard video sources and fix PTP clock problems because each input has a dedicated standards converter and re-synchronizer! You also get powerful ATEM Constellation features like DVEs, advanced chroma keyers, media players, multi-views and SuperSource!
Advanced Design for Professional Broadcast
The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation IP has a dramatically different design to other models because it is designed for high end broadcasters. The new design features front to back cooling with 4 fans that are extremely quiet. All connections feature full redundancy with SMPTE-2022-7 on all video ports, plus additional redundancy on the control and PTP Ethernet ports. A built in LCD displays all standard ATEM Constellation status information and provides access to settings menus.
The standard Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation IP has 32 standards converted SMPTE-2022-7 inputs using 4 sets of dual redundant 100G Ethernet connections. You also get 24 SMPTE-2110 outputs, 16 ATEM Advanced Keys, 4 multi-views and 2 SuperSource for a total of 12 DVEs.
Works with 12G-SDI or SMPTE-2110 IP Video!
Add 12G-SDI to connect to SDI equipment, simply add a Blackmagic SDI Expander 8x12G. It's bi-directional, with 8x 12G-SDI inputs and 8x 12G-SDI outputs, for both capture and playback. With multiple Ethernet ports, you can connect a mix of IP and SDI video!
Add 10G IP Video to connect to SMPTE-2110 equipment using low-cost 10G Ethernet by adding a Blackmagic StudioBridge 10G PWR. It breaks out a single ATEM Ethernet port to 8x 10G Ethernet 2110 IP video connections. Plus it has 90W of PoE++ power per 10G Ethernet port!
Add 100G Ethernet Switch to use any of the ATEM 100G Ethernet 2110 IP video ports to connect 8 switcher input and output channels on a single connection! Just connect to a Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 820. Then you can route to a mix of IP and SDI gear!
Please Note: 100G 2110 systems, such as Blackmagic Design's 100G products, use QSFP28 optical fiber Ethernet cables to carry 8+ channels of Ultra HD video over single-mode fiber. These systems feature redundant 100G Ethernet for SMPTE-2022-7 compliance, providing ultra-high speed connectivity.
