Searching for a powerful 4K video switcher for live productions? If that’s the case, the Blackmagic Design ATEM 1 M/E Constellation 4K checks all the right boxes. This feature-laden Ultra HD video switcher gives you 10 standards converted 12G-SDI inputs and six 12G-SDI outputs, plus balanced audio and Ethernet control to the unit’s internal 28-channel Fairlight audio mixer. You also get DVE, four keyers, media players, and a 16-way multi-view. You can take command using the ATEM Constellation 4K’s front panel, which includes an easy-to-read LCD screen, or you can add an external hardware controller or deploy the free ATEM Software Control app. Built-in talkback is also included. To top it off, the ATEM Constellation 4K runs quietly and economically, thanks to its high-efficiency thermal system and low-speed cooling fans.
Plenty of I/O for your production
The ATEM 1 M/E Constellation 4K includes 10 independent 12G-SDI inputs, with each input featuring its own dedicated up- and cross-converter, enabling you to upscale any format to 4K. When used in HD or Ultra HD, you can connect different sources in all formats up to 2160p60. The ATEM Constellation 4K’s six independently routable, fully customizable 12G-SDI outputs allow you to route any external SDI input and all internal sources to any of these outputs. Want to run independent program feeds, clean feeds, or outputs for onstage projectors or video walls? With the ATEM Constellation 4K, you can — it’s like having multiple switchers all running at the same time with multiple custom feeds. What’s more, all outputs contain embedded program audio, plus mix minus support, RP‑188 embedded time code, SDI camera control, tally, and talkback.
Multiple ways to take control
Here at City Music, we appreciate how easy it is to take control of the Blackmagic Design ATEM 1 M/E Constellation 4K. For starters, its ATEM Television Studio-inspired front panel gives you incredible power with both PGM/PVW or cut-bus-style operation. You get the same premium buttons used on Blackmagic’s full-sized hardware controllers, enabling you to take full command of transitions, upstream/downstream keyers, media players, and fade to black. Talkback is also on tap, and the ATEM Constellation 4K’s LCD menus provide full access to all functions. Need more control? No problem. The ATEM Constellation 4K is compatible with the full gamut of Blackmagic’s hardware control panels, including the ATEM 1 M/E, ATEM 2 M/E, and ATEM 4 M/E Advanced Panel controllers. You can also deploy the free ATEM Software Control application, which gives you absolute control via your Mac or Windows-based PC.
Comprehensive audio mixing
Mixing audio with the ATEM 1 M/E Constellation 4K is no problem, thanks to its built-in 28-channel Fairlight audio mixer. Each input channel boasts a high-quality 6-band parametric EQ, compressor, limiter, expander, and noise gate, plus you get full control over panning. Extra channels for the ATEM Constellation 4K’s analog input, talkback mic, and media players are also included. And everything can be controlled via the ATEM Software Control application or a Mackie-compatible control surface.
