Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO Switcher

The Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is a professional 8-input live production switcher designed for live streaming, broadcast, events and multi-camera production. It features eight 3G-SDI inputs, four SDI program outputs and standards conversion on every SDI input, allowing cameras and other sources with different frame rates to be switched seamlessly.

The switcher supports HD video up to 1080p60 and includes built-in re-sync and frame-rate conversion on all eight SDI inputs. It provides four upstream keyers, two downstream keyers, up to four chroma keyers, up to four luma/linear keyers and DVE effects, giving you extensive options for professional live production.

One of its main advantages is ISO recording. The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO can simultaneously record eight individual SDI inputs plus the program output as H.264 MP4 files. It also automatically creates a DaVinci Resolve project file, allowing the entire live production to be opened and refined in post-production.

For streaming, the switcher supports direct RTMP and SRT streaming over Ethernet or a shared internet connection through USB-C. It also includes USB-C connectivity for external recording, webcam output, software control and software updates.

The built-in Fairlight audio mixer provides 11 stereo channels with EQ, compressor, gate and limiter controls. Two 3.5mm stereo inputs are available for microphones and other analog audio sources, while embedded audio can be handled directly from the SDI inputs.

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO also provides configurable HD multiview with up to 16 views, two media players, a 20-image media pool and Ethernet-based control through ATEM Software Control. It is a strong choice for professional multi-camera productions requiring live switching, streaming and isolated recording in one compact system.
