Introducing the Blackmagic ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K

A Revolution in Live Events Production
Meet the Blackmagic ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K, the ultimate solution for live event multi-camera production. This powerful switcher boasts 10 individual Ultra HD inputs, all packed into a sleek 1 RU chassis. Whether you're working with NTSC, PAL, HD, or Ultra HD video formats, this switcher connects seamlessly with a variety of cameras and sources, delivering a single program stream in UHD 4K, HD, or SD video. And the best part? It's all done live, in real-time, with absolutely no rendering required.

Seamless Integration and Synchronization
Featuring a reference video input, this switcher is designed to synchronize effortlessly with other equipment using tri-level or black burst sync. Each input is also equipped with a frame synchronizer, enabling the use of cameras without genlock and the input of video from computer sources.

Versatile Outputs for Any Scenario
The switcher comes with eight always-active video outputs. It includes two SDI and one HDMI program output, all capable of delivering UHD/HD/SD, and three pass-through (AUX) UHD/HD/SD outputs for a clean program feed without any downstream effects. Additionally, a down-converted HD output is available for monitoring on an SDI-equipped HD monitor.

Multiview Monitoring
Multiview monitoring is available in 1080i only over dedicated SDI or HDMI output. This feature allows you to view the program, preview, and eight live sources simultaneously, enhancing your control and efficiency during live events.

Real-Time Effects and Composites
Create stunning effects and composites in real-time with the built-in luma and chroma keyers, all in Ultra HD and with 10-bit processing. Two downstream keyers enable the use of two graphics/logos/titles/lower thirds from up to twenty stored graphics in a variety of formats.

Built-In 12-Channel Audio Mixer
The built-in 12-channel audio mixer manages the embedded HDMI and SDI audio from the 10 active video inputs, as well as audio from the balanced or unbalanced analog audio inputs. This provides flexibility and creative audio options, with audio output available via the embedded SDI and HDMI streams or via balanced audio outputs.

Flexible Control Options
Control the switcher's operation and settings using either a Mac or Windows PC running the included ATEM software. For those who prefer a physical control panel, the available ATEM ME 1 and ME 2 Broadcast Panels, connected via the Ethernet port, also control all the features of the switcher. Additionally, illuminated front-panel buttons allow for local selection of the AUX output, while a 2" LCD screen built into the front of the unit provides instant confirmation of the correct output.

Integrated Media Pool and Graphics Management
The expansive media pool of the ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K accommodates 32 still frames with fill and key in Ultra HD, along with 180 frames of full-motion clips with fill and key in Ultra HD. When set to 1080p or 1080i video formats, the media pool can hold up to 720 frames of full-motion clips. This integrated media pool eliminates the need for large, costly external graphics servers, thanks to the substantial media pool memory and two built-in media players. Additionally, the included Photoshop plug-in integrates all on-air graphics management directly into the switcher, enhancing convenience and efficiency.

Ultra HD 4K Video Support
Redefining what's possible in the broadcasting arena, this switcher is equipped with Ultra HD 4K video (3840 x 2160) support. You get four times the resolution of Full HD, offering unparalleled clarity and detail. Choose your video format, but keep it consistent across all inputs as this unit doesn't compromise on quality by scaling different formats.

Versatile Input Options
This switcher isn't picky; it graciously accepts inputs from a range of devices. Featuring ten single-link 6G-SDI and one HDMI 4K input, this system allows seamless integration of both UHD/HD/SD and computer-based signals. Note that one SDI input is shared with the HDMI input, capping your maximum inputs at ten.

Precision Sync Capabilities
Worried about sync issues in your live setup? Fret not. This switcher is designed to synchronize perfectly with other post-production setups, thanks to its reference video input for sync timing. Choose between black burst or tri-level sync to maintain a flawless output.

Built-in Frame Synchronizers
You're no longer bound by the limitations of your cameras. The ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K comes with built-in frame synchronizers on each input. That means even cameras without genlock capability or computer sources like Keynote or PowerPoint presentations are welcome here.

Dynamic Audio Mixing
With its built-in 12-channel audio mixer, your audio will be as dynamic as your video. The mixer allows manual mixing of sources, or you can set it to "audio-follows-video" mode for audio that crossfades as seamlessly as your video transitions.

Robust Video Outputs
Why settle for one when you can have multiple output options? The switcher features two 6G-SDI ports and one HDMI 4K connector for program outputs. Moreover, there's a dedicated SDI or HDMI connector for multiview output and an SDI AUX output that gives you control over your program feed with or without downstream keyer effects.

One-Screen Multiview Monitoring
Forget juggling between multiple screens; this switcher's multiview output offers four selectable screen layouts. Monitor up to eight inputs or focus on six inputs, two internal media players, preview, and program outputs-all on a single screen.

Master the Art of Seamless Transitions
The ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K Switcher is outfitted with four built-in transitions, including Cut, Mix, Dip, and Wipe patterns. Whether you're flipping quickly from one scene to another or seeking a slow dissolve, the precision control has you covered. With 18 wipe patterns, you can even create over 100 unique transitions. Add dimension to your broadcast with key-frameable transitions, flying graphics, and animated stingers, thanks to the built-in DVE.

Unparalleled Keying Features for Layered Content
Layering just became a piece of cake. The switcher boasts four upstream keyers and a DVE for layering live video, titles, graphics, and animations at Ultra HD resolution with 10-bit processing. Furthermore, its two downstream keyers make adding graphics, lower thirds, titles, and logos incredibly straightforward. Achieve a professional, polished look with its picture-in-picture effect capability.

Command Central: Intuitive Control Interface
Say goodbye to clunky interfaces. The ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K Switcher offers backlit front-panel control buttons for intuitive manual control. Interface it effortlessly with optional ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E Broadcast Panels via an Ethernet connection. Plus, the included ATEM Software Control allows you to manage all aspects of your production right from your Mac or Windows computer.

Flexible Project Formatting Options
You're in charge of the project format, from SD to HD to Ultra HD. Adjust your resolution and frame rate via either the included software for macOS/Windows PC or via the ATEM 1 M/E or ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel. Control across a network or connect surfaces directly to the switcher using its Ethernet port. Firmware updates and IP settings are a breeze with its USB port.

Rackmountable and Reliable
Don't sweat the logistics. This switcher is 1 RU in height and comes with built-in rackmount ears, making it ideal for both on-the-road setups and post-production facilities.

Never Lose Power: Redundant Internal Power Supplies
Power outage? No worries. This switcher features redundant internal power supplies to keep your production running smoothly, even if one fails.
