The Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is an 8-input live streaming production switcher with 8x 3G-SDI  4x 3G-SDI outputs. This Switcher can record up to 9 separate H.264 video streams in real-time, capturing all 8 clean feed inputs as well as the program video. This 8-input switcher has an integrated control panel and advanced broadcast capabilities. In addition, to live streaming via RTMP protocols, you can also output your program over USB as if it were a webcam. You can record each of the eight input videos as an MP4, as well as the program output, using one of the USB Type-C ports. The switcher creates a DaVinci Resolve project file for you to clean up and make changes to later. The eight independent 3G-SDI inputs on this versatile switcher accept all popular HD signals up to 1080p60. Each input features discrete frame rate and format converters, as well as re-syncing for seamless switching between a variety of professional and consumer cameras, game consoles, and computer feeds.

The ATEM SDI Extreme Iso has the same portable design as the ATEM Mini, but it has SDI connections for connecting advanced broadcast quality cameras and recorders. This opens up an entirely new realm of ultra-portable live production. Because of the extremely portable design, you can fit an entire broadcast quality live production system in a small bag or even a backpack! You can use multiple cameras on location and live stream directly to YouTube, or you can use ATEM Streaming Bridge to create a broadcast quality link back to a studio. ATEM SDI Extreme Iso, unlike single camera remote shoots, allows you to connect multiple cameras to create interesting remote interviews with multiple camera angles.

Self-contained Broadcast Quality Switcher
The ATEM SDI Extreme Iso has buttons for recording and streaming control, as well as output selection buttons that allow you to switch between programs, direct camera feeds, and multi-view video output. On the back panel, there are SDI connections for cameras, additional microphone inputs, a USB port for a webcam, and multiple SDI "aux" outputs for program video.

Simple to Use and Quick to Master
To switch between video sources, simply press any of the input buttons labeled by the number on the front panel. By selecting the cut or auto buttons, you can choose between cut and effects transitions. Unlike cut, the auto button instructs ATEM SDI Extreme Iso to use a video effect when switching inputs. You can choose from exciting transitions like a dissolve or more dramatic effects like a dip to color, DVE squeeze, and DVE push. Add a DVE effect for picture-in-picture effects with customized picture positions and backgrounds. There are even "media players," which are still stores for titles and graphics that can be loaded via external software control.

Connect 8 Broadcast Cameras
ATEM SDI Extreme Iso allows you to connect multiple cameras for different perspectives on the performance. Video cameras with SDI outputs, such as the Blackmagic Studio Camera or the Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2, are much higher quality because they have better low-light performance and use professional lenses. All video sources will re-sync to the switcher, even if they use different video standards. Everything just works, so set up on location is simple and you don't have to worry about technical issues. Imagine having the creative freedom of multi-camera live production for interviews, advertorials, theater production, music performances, sports, and more!

Webcam outputs for video software
To ensure maximum compatibility, all ATEM SDI Extreme ISO models include a USB port that can be used as a simple webcam source. That means you can plug it into a computer and start working with any video software! The software is tricked into thinking the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is a standard webcam, but it is actually a live production switcher. This ensures full compatibility with any video software and full resolution 1080HD quality. Choose any software you want, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Skype, for a new way to do presentations in a professional multi-camera broadcast quality style! The ATEM SDI webcam output is also compatible with streaming software such as Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster, and others!

ATEM SDI Pro Live Streaming via Ethernet
The ATEM SDI Extreme models include a hardware streaming engine for live streaming via their ethernet connections. That means you can live stream to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch in higher quality, with fewer, dropped frames, and with fewer settings. Simply select the streaming service and enter the streaming key! ATEM Software Control includes streaming setup palettes, and streaming status is displayed in the multi-view. The data rate indicator shows the internet speed required for the video format you're using, making it easy to understand the streaming status. To load new services, you can update the streaming profiles in an XML settings file if you are technically inclined.

Connect 5G or 4G phones for mobile data
If you're doing live production on location, the ATEM SDI Extreme models support connecting an Apple or Android phone to the USB port to use mobile data! It's also an excellent backup for the main Ethernet connection. Phone tethering works with both the latest high-speed 5G phones and the more common 4G phones! The ATEM switcher will detect when a phone is connected and switch its internet connection to use it, eliminating the need to change settings. When connected, the phone will draw power from the USB port and continue to charge from the switcher. ATEM SDI Probe becomes the ideal mobile production solution by utilizing phone tethering for mobile data!

Record directly to USB flash drives
The ATEM SDI Extreme models also support direct recording of streaming data to USB flash disks! That means you get very long recordings in the same H.264 video files with AAC audio that you streamed, ready to upload to any online video site like YouTube or Vimeo. Recording to multiple disks is also supported via a USB hub, so when one disk is full, recording can continue to a second disk for non-stop recording. ATEM Software Control allows you to configure record settings and disk selection, as well as display the recording status in the multi-view.

Edit Live Production with Separate ISO Recordings
The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO models allow you to edit your live event because they can record multiple video streams, including clean feeds of all inputs and programs, all at the same time! Images from the media pool are saved alongside the video files. The video files contain metadata tags such as synced timecode and camera numbers. Consider re-editing your show with new color grades, effects, and graphics! Even the audio sources have been recorded so that you can professionally remix your audio!

Include Exciting Video Effects
One of the advantages of ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is the professional production values that can be achieved by utilizing the range of built-in video effects! When switching between sources, the cut button ensures a clean cut. The auto button is a professional term used on large broadcast switchers to enable video effect transitions. Duration buttons for video effects allow for 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2-second settings. You can also choose the type of effect you want, such as mix, which creates a smooth transition between sources, or dip, which fades through a color during the transition. When switching between sources, use fun DVE effects that move the image off-screen!

Work with Professional Microphones
You can connect desktop and lapel microphones using the two independent 3.5mm stereo audio inputs. You can even connect a music player to generate introduction music after the live stream begins but before the program begins. With two extra stereo audio inputs, you can ensure that both the host and the guest have lapel microphones when conducting interviews. All audio inputs on the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO include buttons on the panel for adjusting audio level and enabling inputs into the audio mixer. Furthermore, all models include a Fairlight audio mixer with all SDI inputs and both microphone inputs connected to the audio mixer, allowing live mixing from all of your audio sources. The ATEM SDI Extreme also includes a headphone output.

Converts any SDI input format automatically
Each 3G-SDI video input has its own dedicated standards converter. That means ATEM SDI Extreme ISO will automatically convert 1080p, 1080i, and 720p sources to the switcher video standard! The switcher will automatically set its video format by default, but you can manually set the switcher to any video standard! The SDI outputs are true "aux" outputs, allowing you to customize the source video routed to each SDI output independently. Because they contain camera control and tally information, all outputs can be connected to cameras. The SDI output on the more powerful ATEM SDI Extreme models can also be selected to display the built-in multi-view.

Built-in Secret Broadcast Features
While ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is simple to use, it also has very powerful high-end broadcast features! ATEM SDI is also ideal for training new live production crews because it has the same features as the massive switchers used in large broadcast studios. You get an ATEM Advanced Chroma Key, Fairlight audio mixer, DVE, graphics still store, and much more! To access the ATEM SDI Pro ISO's extended features, simply launch the free ATEMSoftware Control app on Mac or Windows while connected via USB or Ethernet. With a little practice, you can learn how to produce broadcast-quality live production. Only ATEM SDI Pro ISO is a true broadcast switcher hidden in a small and affordable package.

DVE for Picture in Picture, Transitions, and Effects
One of the most exciting features of ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is the built-in DVE, which allows for picture-in-picture effects and DVE transitions! The DVE allows you to create professional picture-in-picture effects with customizable 3D borders, shadows, and lighting. The image quality is comparable to that of high-end ATEM switcher models, and the DVE supports the position, resize, and scale in real-time. The DVE can also be used to create amazing transitions with 16 different DVE squeeze and DVE push effects to add excitement to your programming. The DVE includes a "fly key," which can be used with custom graphics to create graphic wipe transitions!

Transitions in Professional Broadcast
ATEM SDI Extreme Iso includes a variety of broadcast quality HD native transitions such as mix, dip, wipe, and more. All transitions can be customized by adjusting parameters such as duration, border color, border width, position, and direction. You can also use the DVE in transitions, allowing a graphic to be moved over the wiping edge, which is known as a graphic wipe and is commonly used in sports programming. ATEM SDI has a preview transition feature that allows you to double-check your transitions before they go live.

Built-in Graphics with Photoshop Plug-In
The built-in "media pool" allows the loading of up to 20 separate broadcast quality RGBA graphics for titles, opening plates, and logos. The media player is used to output the selected image so that it appears as an additional internal video source for use in graphics and titles. You can even use still frames to create complex effects like graphic wipes. ATEM SDI Extreme can also extract still images from video and save them to the internal media pool. Graphics can be loaded using ATEM Software Control or downloaded directly from Photoshop using the ATEM Photoshop plug-in. As it can be downloaded directly into the media player, the Photoshop Plug-in is ideal for graphics that change frequently, such as scoreboards.

New ATEM Advanced Chroma Key
ATEM Extreme is ideal for news or on-set presentation work, as it includes the powerful ATEM Advanced Chroma Key for green screen keying effects. The chroma keyer is extremely powerful and includes a color picker for sampling background colors for the automatic generation of key parameters. There are precise controls for edge and flare, as well as a foreground color corrector to match the foreground and background layers for seamless compositions. You can even use it for title overlays by creating graphics with a green or blue background. Furthermore, the ATEM SDI Extreme includes four separate ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, one for each camera, allowing for virtual set production!

Make Amazing Virtual Sets
The ATEM SDI Extreme models include four upstream chroma keyers, allowing you to create exciting virtual sets! With four independent chroma keyers, you get one for each camera, allowing you to create a virtual set with up to four cameras. ATEM SDI Extreme has 8 inputs, 4 for cameras and the other 4 for rendered backgrounds. If you don't need to move your cameras, you can create fixed camera virtual sets by loading pre-rendered still image backgrounds from the media players and media pool. You can use macros to change cameras and load the correct background into media players!

SuperSource Processing is extremely powerful
In addition to two independent DVEs, the ATEM SDI Extreme models include a powerful SuperSource multilayer processor with four additional DVE layers and a background layer, which all appear to ATEM SDI Extreme as an additional input source. Each SuperSource DVE can have any ATEM SDI Extreme video input, which is then layered together. In addition to two independent DVEs, the ATEM SDI Extreme models include a powerful SuperSource multilayer processor with four additional DVE layers and a background layer, which all appear to ATEM SDI Extreme as an additional input source. Each SuperSource DVE can have any ATEM SDI Extreme video input, which is then layered together.

Mix Effects Switching in True Broadcast Style
Although ATEM SDI Extreme is shipped in "cut bus" mode, it can be switched to "program/preview" mode, which is how broadcasters typically use live production switchers. Cut bus switching is simple, and selecting any input will instantly switch to that source. However, if you want to operate ATEM SDI Pro like a true professional, you can change the switcher to program/preview mode using ATEM Software Control settings. A source can be selected in the mix effects operation, but it will not be broadcast until you press the cut or auto buttons. That two-step program/preview process means fewer errors.

Multi-view 
When doing larger live productions with multiple cameras, having all of your video sources visible on a single monitor is extremely useful. The ATEM SDI Extreme models include a professional multi-view that allows you to see all video inputs, preview, and program on a single SDI monitor! Simply press the M/V button on the front panel to activate the multi-view! Each camera view includes tally indicators to let you know when each source is on-air, as well as custom labels and audio meters. Furthermore, the ATEM SDI Extreme models allow you to select up to 16 custom views! Multi-view even includes recording, streaming, and the audio mixer status!

Built-in Audio Mixer
ATEM SDI Extreme's built-in Fairlight audio mixer enables complex live sound mixing. The internal mixer has enough channels for each SDI input to mix audio from all sources! That includes audio from all SDI sources, as well as the two stereo mic inputs. Each input channel has a high-quality 6-band parametric EQ and compressor, limiter, expander, and noise gate, as well as full panning. You can even configure the software to automatically mix between inputs as you switch "AFV" or to live mix multiple sources together at the same time. All of this audio power can be managed using ATEM Software Control or by adding a Mackie-compatible panel.
