Redesigned Front Panel

Includes 4 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers
ATEM Television Studio is perfect for news and on-set presentation work because it features 4 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers for green screen keying effects. The chroma keyers are incredibly powerful and include features such as a color picker to sample background colors for automatic generation of the key parameters. You get precise controls for edge and flare, and there is even a foreground color corrector, so you can match the foreground and background layers for seamless compositions. You can even use it for title overlays by creating graphics with a green or blue background. With 4 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, ATEM Television Studio is perfect for creating fixed camera virtual sets.
SuperSource Processing
In addition to the DVE in the ATEM Television Studio, there is also a powerful SuperSource multilayer processor. SuperSource gives you 4 extra DVE layers plus a background layer, all layered together as an additional input source. Any video input can be used as sources for each DVE, then it’s all layered together over a media pool custom background or live video. SuperSource is perfect for doing multiple picture-in-picture displays with people being interviewed because you can set up the effect, so the viewer can see each person being interviewed, all within a stylish graphic. SuperSource is just like having a completely independent multi-layer VFX switcher built in.
8 Standards-Converted 12G-SDI Inputs
The ATEM Television Studio HD features 8 independent 12G-SDI inputs, with each input featuring its own dedicated standards converter. That means it’s possible to convert any input source to the HD or UHD video standard of the switcher. You could have each switcher’s SDI input running a different television standard and all the inputs would just work.SDI input audio channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 can also be manually routed to various embedded audio channels in the program and aux outputs. Plus, you can even router out audio channels 1 and 2 from the SDI inputs to the MADI digital audio output, so you can hand off the switcher input audio to an external audio engineer for mixing.
12G-SDI Outputs with 16-Channel Embedded Audio
The ATEM Television Studio includes twelve 12G-SDI program outputs, so you get enough connections to send a separate program return feed to all of your cameras. That’s important because the SDI program return is used to send tally, talkback, and control information back to the cameras.You also get two dedicated aux outputs for driving stage monitors and master recorders. These aux outputs can be live-switched using dedicated buttons on the control panel. Aux 1 even includes an onscreen counter for presenter monitoring. Plus, you can manually route audio into all 16 embedded audio channels in the SDI outputs. For camera monitoring, there is a dedicated 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 output for the multiview.
16-Source Multiview on a Single Monitor
When doing larger live productions with multiple cameras, it’s vital to see all your video sources at the same time on a single monitor. ATEM Television Studio HD includes a professional multiview that lets you see all video inputs, preview, and program on a single SDI or HDMI monitor. You can even send the multiview to the aux outputs. Each camera view includes tally indicators, so you know when each source is on air, plus each view has custom labels and audio meters. You can fully customize the multiview layout with up to 16 simultaneous views. You can also select one of the additional status views that lets you track recording, streaming, and the audio mixer status, right from the multiview.
Add Audio Expansion for More Microphones
If you’re building a podcasting studio or you need more microphones, then the ATEM Microphone Converter allows audio input expansion. It connects to the ATEM Television Studio using the MADI port, so there’s no complex setup and you can daisy-chain units to add more inputs. Each converter has 4 analog inputs that are mic/line selectable and have phantom power.The design features amazing quality with an extremely low noise floor of -129 dBV, a dynamic range of 131 dB(A), low distortion of 0.002%, and uniform tolerances across all channels. It even uses 8 separate ADCs on each input to collectively extend the dynamic range. Plus, it has a fun HDMI monitoring output with scrolling audio waveforms.
