Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio 4K8

Professional Live Production in a Portable Design

The Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio 4K8 is a powerful 12G-SDI live production switcher integrated into a professional broadcast control panel. Designed for high-end work where space is limited, it offers the functionality of a full television studio in a portable form factor. It is the ideal solution for small venues, OB vans, and independent production kits that require professional-grade switching without the need for massive equipment racks.

Advanced 12G-SDI Connectivity

Equipped with 8 standards-converted 12G-SDI inputs, the ATEM Television Studio 4K8 handles any video format from 720p to 2160p60 Ultra HD. Every input features its own dedicated converter, ensuring seamless switching between different frame rates and standards. With 10 independent 12G-SDI aux outputs, you have total flexibility for driving stage monitors, master recorders, and return feeds.

Creative Power with SuperSource and DVE

Take your production value to the next level with 4 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers and a built-in SuperSource processor. SuperSource provides 4 additional DVE layers plus a background, allowing for complex multi-box interviews and stylish graphics. The integrated 3-axis joystick offers precise control over DVE positioning, scaling, and custom animated moves.

Professional Audio and Streaming

The built-in Fairlight audio mixer provides 58 channels of professional sound control. Each input includes a 6-band parametric EQ, compressor, limiter, and noise gate. For distribution, the hardware streaming engine allows you to broadcast directly to platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch via Ethernet or a tethered 4G/5G smartphone.

Internal Storage and Recording

The 4K8 model supports recording directly to USB flash disks or an optional internal M.2 flash disk. When internal storage is installed, the unit acts as a network-shared storage device, allowing post-production teams to access H.264 broadcast-quality recordings immediately over the local network.
