ATEM 2M/E Production Switcher

The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Production Switcher is a 3 RU-high, 16-source switcher that accepts 16 10-bit HD/SD-SDI inputs and one HDMI input for a total of 16 simultaneous inputs, each with a frame synchronizer. The ATEM 2 M/E Switcher comes with a software control panel, and it’s also compatible with the 1 M/E & 2 M/E Broadcast Panels from Blackmagic (not included). For serious live productions of all kinds, the ATEM 1 M/E represents an extremely affordable way to juggle a large number of sources with aplomb, switching HD and SD sources such as cameras with HDMI or SDI output, VTRs/DDRs, etc., and adding keys and graphics while enjoying the multi-layer processing power of the SuperSource Compositing Engine for multi-box compositions. Whether you’ll operate via mouse & laptop or you’re ready to switch your sources from a control panel, you’re still operating at a very high level, with a 10-bit signal path throughout (depending on your video system, of course). Program outputs come in the form of SDI, analog, and HDMI, and there are six auxiliary SDI outputs. There’s also USB 3.0 output for Windows systems, for directly capturing a 10-bit master to your computer. The switcher features DVE transitions, 13 keyers, two built-in media players for clips and stills, and two independent multi-view outputs, which eliminate the need for separate monitors for each source.
