Atem Production Switcher

Product Model: Atem

Description:
Atem Production Switcher-
Analog- SDI - HDMI - SD - HD - 3G-1080p/60 - UXGA

 
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,
prosumer cameras and existing SD equipment can be used without purchasing additional conversion gear. Four 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. (HDMI not HDCP compliant)

Analog / Digital / Computer
Atem can input and output any analog, digital or computer signal. Analog signals can be Composite (CVBS), S-Video (Y/C), RGsB, or Component (YPbPr). Digital signals can be SD-SDI or HD-SDI. A wide range of computer resolutions are also supported via HDMI.

10 Channel Multiviewer
Atem makes monitoring your production simple and inexpensive. Atem features a dedicated connection that outputs a ten channel multiviewer. 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 10 second boot time. The optional redundant power supply further enhances that reliability.

SuperSource Crosspoint
Atem includes Echolab’s unique and invaluable SuperSource™ with four picture-in-picture generators. 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 M/E keyers. The SuperSource™ includes four of its own keyers leaving upstream and downstream keyers available for adding lower thirds, tickers and other elements.

High Quality Overture1 Control Panel
The Atem utilizes our award winning Overture1 control panel. This panel features the highest quality LED switches, fader bar and joystick that are usually only available on more expensive switchers. It also includes redundant power supplies.

Powerful 1M/E Switcher
Atem is one of the most powerful 1M/E switchers on the market. In addition to SuperSource™ and Stinger™ transitions, Atem features 4 M/E keys with Chroma key and pattern generators as well as 2 downstream keys. With Atem it is possible to build an eleven layer composition.

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.

Internal Clip Player with Audio
Atem features an easy to use internal clip player that can be used for playing animated lower thirds with key channel, animated backgrounds or short clips such as show openers, show closings, and bumpers. The internal clip player is also integrated into the Atem Stinger™ transition. Integrated Audio support allows you to add impact to your transitions and your overall production.

Intuitive Transition Block
Atem features intuitive next-transition workflow with a variety of transition options. In addition to the standard Cut, Mix, Wipe transitions found on traditional mixers Atem features Dip, DVE and the unique Stinger™ transition.

Conductor Software
The Echolab Conductor is a PC based application that can be used to manage frame buffers, map auxiliary outputs, create and launch macros, and control 3rd party devices.
