This unit supports 3G-SDI as well as HD-SDI signals, with connectivity to a wide range of cameras and sources, delivering program output via 12 3G-SDI BNC output, alternatively a webcam using the USB Type-C.
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD Live Production Switcher (1 RU) additionally features multiview output with up to 16 routable windows to display inputs, keyed video, graphics, and stills from the media pool, as well as the program output. Each input connects to a built-in Fairlight audio mixer supporting up to 48 channels of audio.
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD Live Production Switcher (1 RU) features a reference video input, and each input features a frame synchronizer, frame rate converter, and format converter. This allows you to mix and match cameras, formats, cameras that do not feature genlock, and video input from computer sources. Upstream and downstream keyers and effects are supported. All this is done live and in real-time with no rendering required. You can control the switcher using the integrated front panel, optional Blackmagic ATEM panels, or via the downloadable control software.
Broadcast-Quality Transitions
On the Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD Live Production Switcher you will find a wide range of native broadcast-quality transitions, like mix, dip, wipe, and many more. All transitions can be customized in the system control menus with adjustments for border colour, border width, position, direction, and a lot more.

This enables you to freeze a picture offscreen, and then reveal a new video under it.
Built-In DVE
The ATEM Constellation features two independent DVEs that let you reposition graphics and create picture-in-picture compositions. You get amazing quality, and the DVE supports the position, resize, and scale, all in real-time. The DVE lets you create professional picture-in-picture effects with customizable 3D borders, shadows, and lighting. DVRs can also be used to create amazing DVE transitions with squeeze and swoosh effects for adding excitement to your programming. You can even combine DVE transitions with custom graphics to create your own graphic wipe transitions. The 2 M/E model includes SuperSource processors for six DVEs.
SuperSource
The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD Live Production Switcher also features a powerful SuperSource multiplayer processor with four extra DVE layers plus a background layer. SuperSource is just like having an extra multi-layer VFX switcher built-in. SuperSource is perfect for doing picture-in-picture displays for interviews because you can set up the effect while keeping the main DVEs free for other tasks.
Multiview
Configurable to 16, 13, 10, 7, or 4 up view. It includes monitoring of program, preview, inputs, media players, DSK, and clean feed with optional labels and audio meters. The 2 M/E model features two multiview outputs.

Talkback supports a 5-pin XLR headset connector, plus a rear-mounted RJ12 connector for interfacing with industry-standard talkback systems such as ClearCom or RTS. You get full talkback control, including program and engineering loops, sidetone control for hearing the headset mic into the headphones, and program mix. ATEM Constellation HD also supports SDI talkback that uses SDI channels 15 and 16 for 2-way communication with Blackmagic Design cameras. You can even use channels 13 and 14 for engineering talkback. It's even possible to mix the talkback mic into the program audio for voiceovers.
Media Pool

You get precise controls for edge and flare, and there is even a foreground colour corrector so you can match the "look" of the foreground layer to the background layer making seamless compositions possible.
Upstream Chroma Keyers
Having four upstream chroma keyers per M/E row you have the perfect solution for building your virtual sets.
External image processors can be used for virtual sets, or you can even build a fixed camera virtual set by loading pre-rendered still image backgrounds from the media players and media pool.
