ATEM SDI

The Blackmagic ATEM SDI is a compact live production switcher with 4 SDI inputs, built for camera rigs that run on SDI rather than HDMI. It switches your cameras live, streams direct to the internet and works as a USB webcam, all from a single box.

Overview

The SDI inputs are standards converted, so cameras running different formats lock in automatically. A built-in streaming engine sends your program straight to YouTube, Facebook and other RTMP services over Ethernet, while the USB connection presents the switched program to your computer as a webcam for Zoom, Teams and OBS. You get a Fairlight audio mixer, DVE picture-in-picture, chroma key, multiview and a media pool for graphics.
