There is an industry-standard 5-pin talkback headset connector on the front panel, with controls for talkback control. In addition, the front panel LCD and menu buttons allow access to almost every operational feature of the switcher.
Up to 40 Standards Converted 3G-SDI Inputs
The ATEM Constellation HD family includes models with up to 40 independent 3G-SDI inputs, each with its own dedicated up and cross converter. That means it’s possible to convert any 1080p input source to the video standard of the switcher. On the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD model, you can even loop out audio channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 from SDI inputs 1 to 30 to the two MADI digital audio outputs, so you can hand off the switcher input audio to an external audio engineer for mixing. Up to 24 3G‑SDI Outputs.
Blackmagic ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD has a massive number of fully independent 3G-SDI outputs. Even the small 1 M/E model has 6 x 3G-SDI outputs. Then the 2 M/E model has 12 x 3G-SDI outputs and the 4 M/E model has massive 24 x 3G-SDI outputs.
These SDI outputs are very powerful because you can independently route any SDI input or any internal source to each SDI output. That’s perfect for running independent feeds to stage screens, master recorders, and streaming processors. Or use the SDI outputs for ISO recorders, where each deck will get a resynchronized switcher input with matching timecode. All SDI outputs contain program audio, RP-188 timecode, SDI camera control, tally, and talkback.
