Blackmagic Design ATEM Constellation 8K – 4 M/E 8K and Ultra HD switcher, 40 x 12G-SDI in
ATEM Constellation 8K is a live production switcher for broadcast control rooms, with 4 M/E rows. It has 40 12G-SDI inputs with standards conversion on every input and 24 independent outputs, plus multiview, built in talkback and a professional Fairlight audio mixer.
What the ATEM Constellation 8K is for
In Ultra HD it works as a 4 M/E with 40 inputs, 24 aux outputs, 4 DVEs and 4 multiviews; in 8K the resources combine into a native 8K switcher with 10 inputs, 6 aux outputs, 4 keyers and one DVE. It is the choice for people already producing in 8K or who want to be ready for it.
Production features
16 ATEM Advanced upstream keyers with chroma key, 4 downstream keyers, 2 SuperSource for multi box compositions, 4 media players with stills and clips, a 156 channel Fairlight audio mixer with 6 band parametric EQ and dynamics (expander, gate, compressor, limiter).
Control and power
It is controlled with the free ATEM Software Control for Mac and Windows, with ATEM Advanced Panel hardware panels connected over Ethernet or, for emergencies, from the front fascia controls. Talkback on RJ45 for third party systems. Power consumption: 300 W, 2 internal 100-240V supplies.
How to choose
If you do not need 8K, the 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus offers more Ultra HD inputs; for HD there is the 4 M/E Constellation HD.
