Broadcast Studios

Connect multiple Blackmagic Studio Camera 4K Pro cameras to get the ideal setup for producing local news, college television, current affairs, talk shows and more! The Blackmagic Studio Cameras have all the features of a traditional studio camera such a large screen with built in tally, all in a compact design that’s easy to use! Its large 7″ viewfinder makes it easy to track and frame shots and you can even add optional focus and zoom demands to adjust the shot without taking your hands off the tripod! You can even connect the cameras using SDI or add our Blackmagic Studio Converter to connect via 10G Ethernet for a SMPTE fiber style workflow at a much lower cost.

Create and stream your own interview talkshow!

ATEM SDI is perfect for small streaming programs as it’s small enough to allow the presenter to do the switching! With 4 SDI inputs, you can connect 3 cameras for wide, medium and close up shots, along with a HyperDeck Studio to playback prerecorded clips. The DVE lets you create amazing picture in picture effects complete with drop shadows, colored borders and more. Picture in picture effects are perfect when you want to show a reaction from the guest you're interviewing! You can even add lower third graphics and logos to give your program a high end broadcast look. The streaming can be done on a separate computer via USB or directly on the ATEM SDI Pro and ATEM SDI Extreme models.

Unscripted Live Shoots

ATEM SDI switchers make it possible to produce unscripted studio shows, such as live cooking competitions or a bake off, at full broadcast quality. You can mix handheld URSA Broadcast cameras with shoulder kits and viewfinders, alongside tripod based cameras with URSA Studio Viewfinders. All of the cameras can be connected to an ATEM switcher so you can cut the show live. That’s because one person can perform the switching on the ATEM SDI itself, while someone else can do camera control on connected computers or an ATEM Camera Control Panel to balance color, all working together! The program output can be recorded to create the master recording all in real time!

Create online training and educational tutorials!

Now you can transform your training room into a production studio! This lets you build an extensive library of training content to take your training online and global. For professional results, use two cameras, one presenter mid shot and one wide shot of the classroom. Use a third camera for a shot of the students! To get perfect quality slides, connect your PowerPoint computer to the SDI input via a Blackmagic Micro Converter HDMI to SDI converter. ATEM SDI has multiple SDI outputs allowing you to connect to recorders, projectors and monitors, plus on the ATEM SDI Pro and Extreme models you can record direct to USB flash disks. You can even live stream at any time!

Broadcast worship services via the internet!

ATEM SDI makes it possible for congregations of all sizes to spread their message by recording broadcast quality television programs. That’s because it’s the first live production switcher that a volunteer from the congregation can use! It’s affordable so even the smallest congregation can use video to engage with their community. Simply connect SDI cameras for shots of the minister and congregation, then connect a mic for the minister and you are ready to start recording. You don’t have to have a big budget or a huge staff! Plus you can also setup playback of past sermons on a projector at other times.

Stream Lectures and Seminars

ATEM SDI is ideal for streaming lectures from schools and universities to students around the world. The front panel has all the controls you need so even the lecturer can cut between a camera and a slide show computer. When you need to incorporate content such as video, slides or to show websites or coding, simply plug a computer into the ATEM SDI via a low cost converter. Because all video inputs have standards conversion, it doesn't matter what video standard the inputs are. Just plug it in! The keyers allow school logos, teacher names, or other graphics to be overlaid on top of the image. The future of education is via online video content and ATEM SDI lets you start right now!
