The Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus is a colossal Ultra HD live production switcher designed for the most demanding live events, broadcast environments, and complex productions. Boasting an unprecedented 80 standard converted 12G-SDI inputs and 48 independent 12G-SDI outputs, this switcher offers unparalleled connectivity and scalability, making it the ultimate solution for large-scale live productions.

Twice the I/O for Unmatched Versatility:

Doubling the input and output capacity of previous 4 M/E models, the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus provides the flexibility to handle a massive array of video sources and destinations. Connect cameras from every angle, multiple graphics systems, replay servers, and more, all with independent routing to numerous displays, recorders, and broadcast feeds.

Next-Generation 4 M/E Power:

Featuring four powerful Mix Effects (M/E) rows, this switcher allows for the creation of incredibly complex and layered visuals. Each M/E row offers multiple keyers, including 16 advanced ATEM Chroma Keyers for stunning virtual sets and graphics compositing, as well as linear and luma keyers. The inclusion of 4 independent DVEs per M/E row enables dynamic picture-in-picture effects and creative transitions.

SuperSource for Multi-Layered Compositions:

The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus includes two powerful SuperSource processors, each with eight additional DVE layers plus a background layer. This provides even more creative power for building complex multi-layered compositions, ideal for live interviews, sporting events, and sophisticated visual presentations.

Independent Ultra HD Multi-Views:

Monitor all your sources and outputs simultaneously with four independent Ultra HD multi-viewers. Each multi-view is fully customizable, allowing you to arrange up to 16 simultaneous views with program, preview, inputs, media players, keyers, and more. Customizable labels, tally indicators, and audio meters can be overlaid on each view for complete monitoring.

Massive 156-Channel Fairlight Audio Mixer with MADI:

The built-in professional Fairlight audio mixer offers an astounding 156 input channels, providing complete control over your audio. Each SDI input features a full 6-band parametric EQ, compressor, limiter, noise gate, and expander. The ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus also includes two MADI inputs for adding 64 external audio channels each, and four MADI outputs for breaking out audio from the first 60 SDI inputs, perfect for integrating with external audio consoles.

Internal Media for Graphics and Animations:

The integrated media pool can store up to 60 stills and 400 frames of motion graphics, allowing you to instantly access logos, lower thirds, animations, and more during your live production. Four dedicated media players with fill and key provide seamless playback of your stored media.

Advanced Features for Broadcast Professionals:
