Blackmagic ATEM SDI Pro ISO

Designed for broadcasters and live production professionals who require maximum portability without sacrificing advanced features, this compact live production switcher delivers a complete broadcast workflow in a remarkably small form factor. It combines professional 3G SDI connectivity with an integrated control panel, allowing multi camera switching, streaming and recording from a single self contained unit. The robust design makes it ideal for studio desks, flypacks, OB vehicles and remote productions where space and speed of setup are critical.

The system features four standards converted 3G SDI inputs, each with frame rate and format conversion, ensuring seamless connection of different camera sources without manual configuration. Re synchronisation on all inputs guarantees stable switching and clean transitions. Multiple SDI outputs provide program, auxiliary and multiview options, enabling flexible monitoring and signal routing in professional environments. The front panel offers direct access to source selection, transitions and audio control, allowing confident operation even without external control software.

A key advantage of this model is its integrated ISO recording and streaming capability. It can record five H.264 video streams simultaneously, consisting of clean feeds from all four inputs plus the final program output. At the same time, a DaVinci Resolve project file is created, capturing all cuts, transitions and media references. This allows the entire live production to be reopened instantly as an editable timeline, making it easy to refine edits, adjust audio, apply color correction or add graphics after the event without rebuilding the show from scratch.

Built in live streaming support enables direct broadcast to platforms using RTMP over Ethernet or via a shared mobile internet connection through USB C. The USB C port also functions as a webcam output, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of streaming and conferencing applications. Recording is handled directly to external USB storage, supporting common file systems for easy cross platform access. Audio is managed by a professional Fairlight mixer with dynamics and six band parametric EQ, ensuring broadcast quality sound from both analog and embedded SDI sources.

Control flexibility is further enhanced through compatibility with ATEM Software Control and a wide range of hardware control panels, making the unit suitable for both simple and complex live production workflows. Its integration with cloud based editing workflows allows recorded ISO files to sync to Blackmagic Cloud, enabling collaborative post production from virtually anywhere.
