Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO

This advanced live production solution is designed for professional environments that require complete control over multi camera workflows while maintaining a compact and portable footprint. Its integrated broadcast control surface and internal processing engine eliminate the need for external racks, making it ideal for smaller studios, mobile production teams or venues where space and setup time are limited. Operators can switch sources directly from the front panel using clearly arranged buttons and a well structured layout that offers instant access to transitions, effects and system configuration. This combination of integrated hardware and intuitive control provides a smooth and efficient workflow during fast paced productions. 

A key capability of this model is its ability to record independent ISO files for all eight inputs. Each connected SDI source is captured as a separate H.264 video file, allowing editors to reconstruct the entire production with full flexibility during post production. Alongside the ISO recordings, the switcher saves a DaVinci Resolve project file that includes the live switching decisions, making it straightforward to refine edits, replace shots or adjust colour corrections after the event. Audio inputs are stored as separate 24 bit 48 kHz WAV files, preserving high quality sound for more detailed mixing workflows.

The system also supports up to eight remote cameras over Ethernet, either locally or across the internet. These remote sources can provide tally indications and receive camera control commands, allowing operators to manage exposure, colour and other parameters from a central point. This opens new possibilities for distributed production environments, remote interviews or multi venue events without requiring complex infrastructure. 

In addition to switching and recording, the unit includes built in streaming via ethernet or a shared internet connection through USB C. The program output can be streamed using RTMP at the selected quality standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of online platforms. A multiview output available via SDI and HDMI allows operators to see program, preview, all inputs, media players, key layers and SuperSource layouts on a single display. The device also includes talkback, extensive SDI audio support and MADI connectivity for larger audio systems, making it a versatile solution for broadcast, education, corporate productions and live events.
