Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio 4K8

Professional 4K Live Production Switcher

The Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio 4K8 is a high-performance 12G-SDI live production switcher built into a professional broadcast control panel. Designed for broadcast environments where space is a premium, it delivers the power of a full television studio in a portable, standalone unit. It is the perfect choice for live sports, music venues, and mobile broadcast trucks requiring professional-grade switching without a rack-mounted setup.

Advanced 12G-SDI and Ultra HD Support

Featuring 8 standards-converted 12G-SDI inputs, the ATEM Television Studio 4K8 supports all video formats from 720p up to 2160p60 Ultra HD. Each input includes a dedicated converter to handle mismatched frame rates and standards automatically. With 10 independent 12G-SDI aux outputs, you have the flexibility to feed stage monitors, master recorders, and return signals simultaneously.

Creative Effects and SuperSource

Enhance your broadcast with 4 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers and a powerful SuperSource processor. SuperSource provides 4 additional DVE layers plus a background, enabling complex multi-box layouts for interviews and dynamic graphics. The integrated 3-axis joystick allows for precise real-time control over DVE positioning and custom animated transitions.

Integrated Audio and Global Streaming

The built-in Fairlight audio mixer offers 58 channels of professional sound processing, including 6-band parametric EQ, compression, and limiting on every input. For distribution, the hardware streaming engine supports direct broadcasting to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch via Ethernet or tethered 4G/5G mobile data.

Internal Recording and Network Storage

The 4K8 model allows for direct recording to USB flash disks or an optional internal M.2 flash disk. When internal storage is utilized, the switcher functions as a network-shared storage device, allowing post-production teams to access H.264 broadcast-quality files immediately over a local network.
