Unlike other switchers, all video inputs feature automatic frame re-synchronizers, so you don’t need expensive genlock cameras. This means you can plug in any video source and it just works!

ATEM Television Studio HD includes professional SDI program and aux outputs, along with SDI and HDMI outputs for multi view monitoring. The SDI program output lets you connect your ATEM Television Studio HD to professional decks and recorders, like HyperDeck Studio Mini, so you can record your program at the highest possible quality. The multi view SDI and HDMI outputs make it easy to monitor your program on virtually any display, including consumer HD televisions!

ATEM Television Studio HD’s built in multi view output lets you see up to 8 channels of video on a single HDMI television or SDI monitor!

Built in 2D DVE

Amazing DVE transitions and picture in picture effects!

ATEM Television Studio HD features a powerful digital video effects “DVE” processor that can position, resize and scale live video, all in real time. That means you can create professional picture in picture effects with customizable borders and drop shadows with lighting. Imagine using a picture in picture effect to superimpose a commentator when covering events such as sports, training videos, interviews and even gaming competitions. You also get 17 DVE powered transitions that you can use to squeeze and swoosh between sources, or to create graphic wipe transitions with your own graphics!

Includes Talkback

Realtime two way communication with your cameras!

ATEM Television Studio HD features built in talkback that takes advantage of rarely used SDI channels 15 and 16 to send talkback audio to and from the camera. There's also headset connections on the front panel for talking to and listening from cameras that support SDI talkback. The talkback from the camera is embedded in the SDI video feed from the camera to the switcher. If you connect the talkback SDI outputs of the switcher back to the camera, then the director’s talkback audio is sent to the cameras along with tally and camera control. The 4 SDI outputs feature talkback to cameras with mix minus. This lets you send program audio back to an interviewee so they hear everything except themselves, and won’t be distracted by hearing a delayed audio echo.

Titles and Graphics

Add professional titles and graphics in seconds!

ATEM Television Studio HD can store up to 20 of your own custom graphics or logos and get them on air in seconds! Simply upload the files from the media management page of the software control panel into the ATEM’s media pool, then select any file to play through the 2 built in Media Players when you need them. The media players use flash memory, so your graphics are saved after the power is turned off! There’s even an included Photoshop plug-in that lets you upload graphics from Photoshop directly into the ATEM media pool from a computer over an ethernet network. Now you can get custom titles and graphics on air in seconds!

Real Time Keyers

Use green screens and mix graphics with live video!

ATEM Television Studio HD includes an upstream keyer with full chroma keying for green screen and blue screen shots. That means you can remove the screen and add weather maps, graphics, and incredible virtual sets behind the on-screen talent! The upstream keyer works with chroma, patterns, shapes, and linear keys. You also get 2 downstream keyers for adding graphics, logos and bugs to your video. You can even install a HyperDeck Studio Mini in the rack right next to your ATEM Television Studio HD and use it as a source for ProRes 4:4:4:4 motion graphics files with alpha channels that you can key over your live video in real time!

Feed big screens and video projectors on stage!

ATEM Television Studio HD has an independent auxiliary output that’s perfect for feeding big video screens on stage, or can also be used to send 'clean feeds' without on air graphics to recorders for program mastering. The front panel aux button makes it easy to select exactly what you want to send to the aux output.

You could even add Teranex Mini converters to convert additional sources between SDI and HDMI. Combine it with the Blackmagic SmartView 4K for an ideal multi view monitor, and even add a Blackmagic Duplicator 4K that lets you simultaneously record your program to 25 SD cards at the same time, so you can sell them to customers at the end of the event!

Monitoring your Live Stream

Atem Television Studio Driver

While you are live streaming, you will want to keep an eye on some things:

Atem Television Studio Livestream

  • Audio Levels
    • Keep your audio as loud as possible, without clipping
    • Don’t be afraid to use the built-in compression on the desk
    • Use your ears to verify you’re not clipping (on the stream) and not over-compressing
  • Dropped Frames
    • Dropped Frames (bottom toolbar in OBS) will show you if your CPU and/or Internet Connection aren’t keeping up
    • If you drop too many frames, the stream will disconnect
    • It is a good idea to test the connection ahead of time, paying particular attention to the dropped frames
  • Bitrate
    • Your bitrate should always remain in the ballpark of your specified bitrate (1024Kbps or 4096Kbps)
    • If your bitrate drops, you may have issues with your CPU and/or network
  • CPU
    • Ideally, your CPU should remain under 50%
    • If your CPU runs consistently high, you may experience over-heating or dropped frames

If you run into performance issues during your event, first try lowering the bitrate.
