ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K

The ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K is a professional live-production switcher designed for multi-camera broadcasting and live event production. It provides multiple SDI inputs and professional switching capabilities, allowing operators to seamlessly switch between multiple cameras, video sources, graphics, and other production feeds.

With two mix/effects buses, the ATEM 2 M/E system provides extensive control for professional live productions. It supports transitions, keying, downstream keying, graphics, and other production functions required for sophisticated multi-camera workflows.

The switcher can serve as the central control point for the production system, receiving video feeds from cameras and other sources and sending program outputs to recorders, monitors, streaming systems, or other destinations.

Ideal for:

• Multi-camera productions
• Live events
• Conferences
• Corporate productions
• Broadcast-style productions
• Studio productions
• Live streaming
• Concerts and performances
• Educational and institutional events

Smart Videohub 12×12

The Blackmagic Design Smart Videohub 12×12 provides professional SDI signal routing for complex production environments. With 12 inputs and 12 outputs, the Videohub allows operators to route video signals between cameras, switchers, recorders, monitors, and other SDI equipment.

The Videohub provides flexible signal management and allows multiple devices within the production system to access the appropriate video sources without physically reconnecting cables.

This makes it especially useful for multi-camera productions where several video signals need to be distributed and routed throughout the production system.

Ideal for:

• SDI signal routing
• Multi-camera productions
• Broadcast environments
• Studio systems
• Live event production
• Monitoring systems
• Recorder distribution
• Centralized video infrastructure

HyperDeck Studio Recorders

The system includes four HyperDeck Studio recorders, consisting of one HyperDeck Studio 2 and three additional HyperDeck Studio units. These dedicated professional video recorders provide reliable recording and playback capabilities for production environments.

Multiple recorders allow the production team to create dedicated recording feeds for different sources, including program output, ISO camera feeds, backup recordings, or other production signals depending on the configuration.

Using multiple dedicated recorders provides additional flexibility and redundancy for important live productions where maintaining reliable recordings is critical.

Common recording applications include:

• Program recording
• ISO camera recording
• Backup recording
• Presentation recording
• Live event recording
• Multi-camera production
• Post-production capture
• Broadcast recording

Complete Production Workflow

The system can be configured as the central video infrastructure for a professional multi-camera production.

Cameras & Video Sources → Smart Videohub 12×12 → ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K → HyperDeck Studio Recorders

The Smart Videohub provides flexible routing between cameras and production equipment, while the ATEM switcher handles live switching and production. The HyperDeck Studio recorders can then capture the program feed and additional video sources for backup or post-production.

This configuration provides a scalable workflow that can support productions requiring multiple cameras, multiple recording channels, professional signal routing, and live switching.

Ideal Applications

This complete system is ideal for:

• Live events
• Concerts
• Conferences
• Corporate events
• Multi-camera interviews
• Church services
• Broadcast productions
• Studio productions
• Educational events
• Award ceremonies
• Product launches
• Live streaming
• Sports productions
