3G 1080p/60 Support
Atem was designed to support the current 3Gbps HD standard, meaning operators can produce images in the highest resolution possible today or be ready for it tomorrow. Atem is capable of processing the new 3G 1080p/60 standard in addition to all other popular World TV Standards.
Mix any SD/HD Video Standard
The Atem inputs were designed to offer maximum flexibility; Every input has built in up/cross conversion and synchronization so that Atem can accept a mix of standard definition and high definition signals, timed and un-timed. DVD and BluRay players, inexpensive cameras and existing SD equipment can be used without purchasing additional conversion gear. Two of the Atem auxiliary outputs offer down/cross conversion making it easy to distribute an SD copy of the program.

HDMI Inputs / Outputs

HDMI inputs and outputs make Atem the perfect switcher for on-stage presentations. The two HDMI inputs allow standard computer systems to be connected for graphic elements and PowerPoint presentations without the need for external conversion gear such as scan converters. The HDMI and Analog outputs are perfect for any projector or large screen display and Atem’s short processing delay eliminates live action lag on the big screen.

10 Channel Multiviewer
Atem makes monitoring your production simple and inexpensive. Atem features a dedicated HDMI connection that outputs a fully routable ten channel multiviewer with user defined labels and preview/program tally. Simply connect the multiviewer output to an inexpensive HDMI or DVI display to monitor program, preview and up to eight sources.

Built for Live Production

Atem is suitable for even the most critical live production. Atem is built on an FAA certified operating system which means 24x7 reliability and less than 15 second boot time. The optional redundant power supply further enhances that reliability.

SuperSource Crosspoint

Atem includes Echolab’s unique and invaluable SuperSource™. Ideal for multi box compositions - SuperSource™ allows the operator to pre-build sophisticated compositions that can be taken to air simply by pressing the SuperSource™ crosspoint and does not require the use of keyers or DVE’s. The SuperSource™ includes four of it’s own keyers and four picture-in-picture generators leaving the upstream and downstream keyers available for adding additional graphics and the DVE for performing interesting DVE transitions.

High Quality Overture1 Control Panel

2D DVE with 3D Borders and Drop Shadow
In addition to the unique multi-box SuperSource™, Atem also features an advanced 2D DVE as standard. The DVE is available in the upstream keyers and includes sophisticated 3D borders and drop shadows, it can also be used to animate or reposition keys on screen. In the transition block it provides compelling program transitions such as pushes, squeezes and moves.
