Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Live Production Switcher

Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Live Production Switcher is a compact, professional-grade switcher designed for multicamera live streaming. With 4x 3G-SDI inputs, a USB webcam output, and powerful onboard processing, it offers high-end broadcast tools in a portable form factor that fits in your backpack.

Broadcast-Ready in a Small Package

ATEM SDI features SDI connectivity instead of HDMI, making it ideal for professional cameras and workflows. You can connect four SDI cameras and stream live directly to platforms like YouTube via USB-C. The design is similar to the ATEM Mini but built for SDI workflows, giving you true broadcast quality in a travel-friendly switcher.

Built-In Control Panel and Switcher

The integrated front panel features large, backlit buttons for quick switching, transitions, and audio mixing. Presenters can switch sources by feel, making solo operation smooth and intuitive. Cut or Auto buttons let you choose between sharp cuts or transition effects with ease.

Professional Video Effects

With support for mix, dip, wipe, and 16 DVE transition styles, the ATEM SDI brings high-end production value to any stream. Picture-in-picture is easy with built-in DVE, including control over position, border, and lighting. Create clean, engaging transitions on the fly.

Fairlight Audio Mixer

Use the Fairlight mixer to blend audio from SDI inputs and dual 3.5mm mic jacks. Each input features 6-band EQ, compressor, limiter, and noise gate. Control it via the front panel or through ATEM Software Control for advanced live sound mixing.

Webcam Output for Streaming

The USB-C output acts as a webcam source for popular platforms like Zoom, Teams, Skype, OBS, and more. Your computer sees the ATEM SDI as a simple webcam—yet it’s a full-featured switcher delivering clean, multicamera 1080p signals.

Media Pool and Graphics

Load up to 20 broadcast-quality stills for lower thirds, logos, or titles. Use the ATEM Photoshop plug-in to send updated graphics straight to the media player. You can even use stills for graphic wipes with the built-in DVE fly key transitions.

Advanced Chroma Key

The ATEM Advanced Chroma Key is ideal for virtual sets, green screen work, and overlays. Use the color picker to fine-tune keys and match foregrounds to backgrounds. The Extreme model adds four keyers—perfect for multi-angle virtual production.

Multi-Cam Sync and SDI Compatibility

All four 3G-SDI inputs feature individual frame resync and automatic format conversion. Mix and match 720p, 1080i, and 1080p sources without worrying about sync issues. Output any SDI source independently via the customizable aux outputs.

Training-Grade and Studio-Ready

With ATEM Software Control, you unlock full access to advanced tools like the chroma key, audio mixer, macros, and media player. It’s ideal for training new crews while offering serious performance for seasoned professionals. Broadcast-grade tech has never been this portable—or this affordable.
