Portable Broadcast Quality Switcher

Similar to the ATEM Mini, the ATEM SDI is a portable solution for live production. This new model, however, features 3G-SDI outputs to allow users to connect broadcast quality cameras and recorders - such as the Blackmagic Studio Camera or the URSA Broadcast G2. Whether you’re shooting on location or in a studio, with the ATEM SDI you can stream professional multicam footage for YouTube, Twitch, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and more.

The switcher itself has large, simple input buttons for anyone to pick up and use. Users can cut and transition between different camera angles, display picture-in-picture effects, mix audio and more. At the back of the switcher are 4 SDI inputs for multicam setups, 2 SDI outputs for monitors, 2 3.5mm audio inputs for microphones, a USB-C port for working with streaming software on a computer, and an ethernet port for creating an internet connection.

ATEM Software Control Panel

Included with the ATEM SDI is the world’s most advanced live production switcher control software: ATEM Software Control. Created for Mac and Windows, this app provides even greater control and creativity when using the ATEM SDI. The interface has been specifically designed to make quick and accurate inputs, and is split between Switcher, Media, Audio and Camera pages.

Switcher allows direct source switching and users can also preview transitions and effects before putting them on air. There is even the ability to adjust transitions and make them unique for your shoot. The Media page is used as a media pool for uploading up to 20 RGBA graphic files for use on air as overlays. Users can also preview files and playback files stored in the media pool. The Audio and Camera pages grant greater control to microphones and cameras connected to the ATEM SDI.
