The compact design is perfect for portable live production, with the rear of the switcher including connections for 3G-SDI or 12G-SDI inputs, aux outputs, balanced audio, and Ethernet for control. Even with all this power, ATEM Constellation is extremely quiet with its innovative high-efficiency thermal system.

The ATEM Micro Panel is a low-cost solution for adding panel control to ATEM Software control. Featuring the same high-end buttons as ATEM Advanced Panels you get a true broadcast-quality feel. It also has a familiar layout with buttons for program and preview. You can use the shift buttons to access up to 20 sources. There are 4 upstream and 2 downstream key buttons, plus a macro button. It even has 4 M/E buttons so you can control a massive 4 M/E switcher. There’s a fader for smooth manual transition control, which also means its low profile and very portable. With a connection via USB-C or Bluetooth and a large internal battery, the ATEM Micro Panel is perfect when you need a portable panel.

Get Industry Standard Professional Camera Control

The new ATEM Camera Control Panel provides 4 industry standard camera controllers for the same workflow as camera chains costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Designed to be portable, the ATEM Camera Control Panel can be placed on a desktop or a slide-out rack shelf. All control commands are sent to the cameras using the SDI camera control protocol which is supported by cameras such as Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and Blackmagic Studio Cameras.

Plus all controls are arranged in a familiar broadcast layout perfect for both experienced and new operators.
