The ATEM Range Moves to Ultra HD 2160p60 Without Leaving the "Desktop" Format
Continuing the live production-oriented ATEM control panels, the ATEM Television Studio 4K8 combines a control panel, a 12G-SDI switcher, and an infrastructure designed for modern workflows into a single chassis. While the HD models focused on 1080 workflows, this version extends the entire chain to Ultra HD up to 2160p60 and adopts HEVC H.265 encoding to produce 4K masters that are more efficient in storage and transfer. Its 4-port 10G Ethernet switch and integrated recording and streaming functions reinforce a "plug and produce" logic for teams that need to deliver quickly, cleanly, and repeatedly.
Who It's For and Intended Uses
This broadcast video mixer is aimed at mobile control rooms, corporate studios, places of worship, events, e-sports, stage captures, and hybrid studios seeking true multi-camera production with simultaneous broadcasting and recording. The 10 AUX outputs simplify management of LED walls, presenter returns, clean feeds, recorders, and internal links, while the dual webcam output via USB-C facilitates integration with videoconferencing platforms or remote production stations.
