Blackmagic ATEM 4 M/E Constellation IP

This high end live production system is engineered specifically for broadcasters moving to IP‑based infrastructures without compromising on reliability or creative flexibility. Built around a fully native SMPTE‑2110 architecture, it allows seamless integration of modern IP video alongside traditional workflows through expandable connectivity. All video connections are fully redundant and compliant with SMPTE‑2022‑7, ensuring continuous operation even in demanding live environments. Each input includes a dedicated standards converter and re‑synchroniser, automatically correcting non‑standard sources and PTP timing issues to maintain rock solid switching performance. 

The advanced hardware design reflects its broadcast focus. Front‑to‑back airflow with four ultra‑quiet cooling fans ensures stable operation in dense equipment racks, while dual redundant power supplies increase system resilience. A built‑in front panel LCD provides system status and configuration access, complemented by an integrated speaker and headphone output for local monitoring. Front and rear USB‑C connections support software updates, configuration and direct control using the ATEM Software Control application. 

At its core, the platform delivers the full creative toolset expected from a top tier multi‑M/E switcher. Four independent mix effects engines support complex productions with layered transitions and simultaneous outputs. Sixteen advanced keyers enable professional chroma, luma and linear keying, while two SuperSource processors provide multi‑layer compositing with a total of twelve DVEs available for picture in picture, animated transitions and dynamic layouts. Multiple independent multi‑views allow operators to monitor large numbers of sources with complete flexibility. 

Designed to scale with modern IP facilities, the system offers native high bandwidth Ethernet connectivity for uncompressed video transport. The standard configuration provides thirty‑two fully standards converted IP inputs and twenty‑four outputs, making it ideal for large live productions, studios and OB environments. Control, PTP reference and management networks are fully separated, supporting robust NMOS‑based workflows and precise timing across the entire production chain. 

This switcher represents a future‑proof foundation for high end live production, delivering the reliability of traditional broadcast systems with the flexibility and scalability of SMPTE‑2110 IP technology.
