ATEM 1 ME Constellation HD

Supporting 3G-SDI and HD-SDI signals, the switcher connects to a wide range of cameras and sources, providing program output via six 3G-SDI BNC outputs or a webcam output via USB Type-C. Additionally, the switcher features multiview output with up to 16 routable windows capable of displaying inputs, keystrokes, graphics and still images from the media pool, as well as program output.

DVE can also be used to create graphic wipe transitions. To eliminate errors, ATEM Constellation HD has a preview transition function so you can set the transitions before airing.
