{"product_id":"blackmagic-design-atem-television-studio-hd8-2tb","title":"Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8 2TB","description":"\u003ch3\u003eBlackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8 2TB\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATEM Television Studio HD8 2TB from Blackmagic Design is a compact, redesigned all-in-one live streaming switcher that is ideal for television studios, remote production, or live venues. It provides eight 3G-SDI inputs that support up to 1080p60 video, built-in live streaming, USB webcam support, a 58-channel audio mixer, chroma keyers, DVE, transitions, media players, internal recording with an integrated 2TB M.2 NVMe drive, and talkback support. The switcher is also compatible with the Blackmagic Cloud, so your program recordings can be available immediately from anywhere in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLive Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get an incredibly powerful eight-input switcher with both program and two aux outputs, so you have everything you need for mobile production. That means you can connect up to eight cameras. Plus, you get professional camera control, talkback, and audio mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDistribution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a built-in hardware streaming engine, you can live stream your event to a global audience. Recording to H.264 files with AAC audio ensures you get the correct format for uploading to YouTube. Plus, you can share live broadcasts with your audience using the aux outputs and large screens and projectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduction Switcher Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get an advanced broadcast-grade switcher, with built-in ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, Fairlight audio mixer, DVE, still store for graphics, and more. Most of the features can be operated from the front panel, or you can use the free ATEM Software Control on macOS or Windows to access even more features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy Setup and Usage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply press any of the program row buttons on the front panel to cut between video sources. Or you can pre-select a source on the preview row and then choose between cut or effect transitions by selecting the cut or auto buttons. You can select from exciting transitions, such as dissolve, or more dramatic effects, such as dip to colour, DVE squeeze, and DVE push. You can even add a DVE for picture-in-picture effects with customised graphics. There are also media players that let you store graphics with alpha channels for titles and graphics, which you can load as live video inputs. Then, you can live stream the results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRedesigned Front Panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front panel includes buttons for selecting sources, triggering transitions, and setting up video effects. Plus, the buttons are the same high-end type used on expensive broadcast switchers. You also get a built-in T-bar for manual transition control. The front panel even has an innovative audio mixer-control area with live metreing on a dedicated LCD. There are also buttons for recording and streaming control, plus live aux switching that lets you change aux outputs among all eight cameras, program, preview, or the multiview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBroadcast-Style Mix\/Effects Switching\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eATEM Television Studio uses a professional program\/preview style of operation, which is exactly the way large broadcasters use live production switchers. However, ATEM Television Studio can be switched to A\/B style switching, which is easier when it's used by volunteers or community groups. However, if you want to operate the switcher like a broadcast professional, then the program\/preview is perfect. This means a source won't be put on air until you press the cut or auto button. This two-step process means you see what you are selecting before putting it on air, so you get fewer mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdd Exciting Video Effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the benefits of ATEM Television Studio is the range of professional built-in video effects. The cut button ensures an instant cut when switching between sources. The T-bar fader can be used to transition video effects, or you can do the transition automatically by pressing the auto button. Auto uses the transition duration set in the system control. You can also select the type of effect you want, including mix, which does a smooth transition between sources, or dip, which transitions via a third video source, such as a colour generator. There is a wide range of SMPTE wipes included, plus DVE effects that slide or squeeze the image offscreen when transitioning between video sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCreative Transitions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eATEM Television Studio includes the same kind of transitions found on expensive broadcast switchers. This means the effects and transitions can be customised in many different ways, so they are surprisingly powerful. You'll never stop finding new ways of using them. That's because all transitions can be customised by adjusting parametres such as duration, border colour, border width, position, and direction. You can even use the DVE with a wipe transition, where the DVE moves a graphic over the wipe edge. That's called a graphic wipe, and it's often used in sports broadcasting. The preview transition button can be used to set up effects offline, which is great for eliminating mistakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-In DVE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eATEM Television Studio HD features an independent DVE that lets you reposition graphics and create picture-in-picture compositions. You get amazing quality, and the DVE supports position, resize, and scale, all in real time. The DVE lets you create professional picture-in-picture effects with customisable 3D borders, shadows, and lighting. DVEs can also be used to create amazing DVE transitions with squeeze, swoosh, and push effects for adding excitement to your programming. You can even combine DVE transitions with custom graphics to create your own graphic wipe transitions. Plus, there is also a SuperSource multilayer processing engine with four extra DVEs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupports Internal Media\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in media pool stores broadcast-quality graphics and animations that can be played back using the built-in media players. Media players appear as independent sources, so you don't need to waste any of the SDI inputs for graphics. For the highest quality, all media supports RGB colourspace with an alpha channel, allowing transparency and layering. The media pool can hold 20 HD resolution stills. Motion graphics clips for animations and stingers can be up to 400 frames in 720p and 200 frames in 1080p. The ATEM Software Control allows you to upload and manage media. You can even prepare graphics in Adobe Photoshop and then download them to the media pool using the free ATEM Photoshop plug-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuperSource Processing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the DVE in the ATEM Television Studio, there is also a powerful SuperSource multi-layer processor. SuperSource gives you four extra DVE layers plus a background layer, all layered together as an additional input source. Any video input can be used as a source for each DVE, then it's all layered together over a media pool custom background or live video. SuperSource is perfect for doing multiple picture-in-picture displays with people being interviewed because you can set up the effect, so the viewer can see each person being interviewed, all within a stylish graphic. SuperSource is just like having a completely independent multi-layer VFX switcher built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEight Standards Converted 3G-SDI Inputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ATEM Television Studio HD features eight independent 3G-SDI inputs, with each input featuring its own dedicated standards converter. That means it's possible to convert any 1080p or 720p input source to the video standard of the switcher, so you can have each switcher SDI input running a different television standard, and all the inputs would just work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDI input audio channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 can also be manually routed to various embedded audio channels in the program and aux outputs. Plus, you can even route out audio channels 1 and 2 from the SDI inputs to the MADI digital audio output, so you can hand off the switcher input audio to an external audio engineer for mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e16-Source Multiview on a Single Monitor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen doing larger live productions with multiple cameras, it's vital to see all your video sources at the same time on a single monitor. ATEM Television Studio HD includes a professional multiview that lets you see all video inputs, preview, and program on a single SDI or HDMI monitor. You can even send the multiview to the aux outputs. Each camera view includes tally indicators, so you know when each source is on-air, plus each view has custom labels and audio metres. You can fully customise the multiview layout with up to 16 simultaneous views. You can also select one of the additional status views that lets you track recording, streaming, and the audio mixer status, right from the multiview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdd Audio Expansion for More Microphones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're building a podcasting studio or you need more microphones, then the ATEM Microphone Converter allows audio input expansion. It connects to the ATEM Television Studio using the MADI port, so there's no complex setup, and you can daisy-chain units to add more inputs. Each converter has four analog inputs that are mic\/line selectable and have phantom power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design features amazing quality with an extremely low noise floor of -129 dBV, a dynamic range of 131 dB(A), low distortion of 0.002%, and uniform tolerances across all channels. It even uses eight separate ADCs on each input to collectively extend the dynamic range. Plus, it has a fun HDMI monitoring output with scrolling audio waveforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecord Direct to Internal Cloud Storage or USB Disks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eATEM Television Studio HD supports recording to external USB flash disks or to the integrated 2TB M.2 flash drive, which allows you to record directly to internal cloud storage. The internal storage plus any external USB disks will be available to share over the local Ethernet network, so other people can work on postproduction tasks such as editing, colour correction, and graphics preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll recordings are in H.264 format with AAC audio for broadcast-quality video and small file sizes. You can also connect multiple USB disks, so recording will continue if a disk becomes full. You even get buttons on the control panel to start recording, and you can see the record status in the multiview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutputs to Any Software that Supports USB Webcams\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use any video software with ATEM Television Studio HD because the USB connection will emulate a webcam. That means you can plug into a computer and use any video software that works with a webcam. The software is tricked into thinking the ATEM Television Studio HD is a common webcam, but it's really a live production switcher. That guarantees full compatibility with any video software and in full-resolution 1080p quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine doing a presentation from a professional broadcast studio to software such as Zoom, Teams, or Skype. For streaming, the webcam output also works with streaming software such as Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLocalised for 13 Popular Languages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eATEM Television Studio HD supports multiple languages in the menus and the ATEM Software Control, so you can customise it to the language you prefer. You get support for English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Polish, and Ukrainian languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply go into the setup menu to change the language, or you can always switch to another language at any time in the future. Once a language is selected, the menus on all the LCDs will change to the selected language. Multiple language support means ATEM Television Studio HD is perfect for doing live production work anywhere in the world and with any crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible and Redundant Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-in-one design of ATEM Television Studio includes a built-in power supply, so you don't have to carry around an external power brick. Simply plug it into any AC mains outlet and start live production. The international power supply automatically works from 100 to 240 VAC, so you can use it anywhere in the world. Plus, ATEM Television Studio includes both AC and DC power connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA broadcast-standard XLR 12 VDC power connection is included, which is perfect for backup power or for running on batteries. That means you can use it in extremely remote locations. Plus, if the internal power supply should malfunction, then you can simply connect an external DC supply to keep running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned to Be Easy to Repair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith so many features built in, it's vital that the ATEM Television Studio can be easily repaired. Plus, there is already a lot of built-in redundancy, with four Ethernet connections, nine program SDI outputs, two USB ports, and two power connections. However, if someone trips on a cable and breaks a connector, then you need to be able to repair the connector at low cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the internal electronic PCBs are modular, so any qualified technician can buy a replacement and easily swap the board. This includes the connector PCBs, which can be purchased separately. All the technician needs to do is remove the bottom cover and replace the PCB. A large broadcaster could even buy the boards as a spare parts kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8-Input 3G-SDI Live Switcher\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupports 1080p60 Video Production\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated 2TB M.2 NVMe Storage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSB and M.2 Recording Support\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackmagic Cloud Integration Support\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWebcam Output Compatibility\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupports 16 Multiview Sources\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-In Audio Mixing Controls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomisable Electronic LCD Displays\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudio Camera Control Support\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimecode, MADI and Talkback Support\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8 2TB\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackmagic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50644381958311,"sku":"GC50-SWATEMTVSTA\/HD08\/2","price":6214.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4083\/0375\/files\/GC50-SWATEMTVSTAHD082_4.jpg?v=1780377817","url":"https:\/\/www.georges.com.au\/products\/blackmagic-design-atem-television-studio-hd8-2tb","provider":"Georges Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
