Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8 adds an all-in-one live streaming switcher to your television studio, remote production, or live venue. This compact, redesigned live TV switcher is a great fit for any streaming production, providing eight 3G-SDI inputs that support up to 1080p60 video, built-in live streaming, USB webcam support, a 58-channel audio mixer, chroma keyers, DVE, transitions, media players, internal recording, and talkback support. The switcher is also compatible with the Blackmagic Cloud, so your program recordings can be available immediately from anywhere around the globe.

The switcher features an all-new button layout, and it’s made from polycarbonate material, so it’s much lighter than its predecessor. It provides numerous enhancements to the layout with professional buttons, LCD label displays, and an easy-to-navigate button layout. It includes all the features you’d need for studio operation, including talkback compatibility, GPI and tally interfaces, timecode, MADI input that support up to 32 input channels and 64 output channels for use with external switchers; input audio can be mapped to any of the eight SDI outputs as well as analog audio input and output.

The HD8 features built-in live streaming, and it can connect to the Blackmagic Cloud to share your program for a smooth remote workflow. It also features redundant Ethernet and power to keep your production going if one connection is lost. Two USB-C connectors are available for use as either a webcam, when connected to a computer, or you can utilize an external disk for recording your program.
