The used ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K is a powerful live-event multi-camera switcher that can ingest 1 HDMI or 20 SDI input signals up to UHD 4K/29.97p or 1080/59.94p. Key features include:

Two Switchers In One. The major selling point of the ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K is that it features dual multi-layer engines. The simplest way to explain that is to say it works like two switchers in one box. It’s helpful for sending completely difference mixes to separate destinations such as a projector and separate recorded output or streamed video.

Powerful Mix Effects Engines. From broadcast quality transitions to live video scaling, positioning, and multi-layered video, the ATEM 2 ME has powerful tools for manipulating up to 5 layers with borders and transitions in real time.

Media Pool. This ATEM allows the banking of up to 32 UHD still frames, 180 frames of UHD video, or 720 frames of 1920 × 1080 video. Stills can be formatted as PNG, TGA, BMP, GIF, JPEG, and TIFF while video sequences must be formatted to TGA.

Twenty Simultaneous Video Inputs. You can connect up to 20 video sources to this switcher via 1 HDMI Type-A input or 20 6G-SDI inputs. UHD 4K video will be limited to a frame rate of 29.97p, but 1920 × 1080 sources can be ingested at up to 59.94p.

Program & Multi View Outputs. Options for your program feed include 3 switchable SDI outputs, an HDMI output, and one downconverted HD-SDI output with a fourth SDI port for dedicated preview output.. Multi-view output is best optimized for two monitors with a total available view of 16 video feeds.

Control Via Software or Hardware. A computer with an ethernet port will be required to make adjustment to many ATEM settings and, once connected, can control switching via a software panel. We also offer the Blackmagic Design ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Control Panel for tactile hardware control of this switcher.

Audio Inputs & Outputs. Audio input is handled by two balanced XLR ports or stereo RCA ports. Output options include two XLR program outputs as well as two XLR monitor outputs. Additionally, the switcher offers XLR talkback and timecode with inputs and outputs for each.

Need Switching Control? If you are integrating this device into a larger ATEM production system, you’ll find control much easier with the optional ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel or the smaller 1 M/E Advanced Control Panel.
