So you can operate the switcher from the front panel during setup or for emergency use. Also included is a large LCD so you can see the program output and change switcher settings. The compact design is perfect for portable live production with the rear of the switcher including connections for 3G-SDI or 12G-SDI inputs aux outputs balanced audio and Ethernet for control. The top 4 M/E models even include RS-422 for serial control and MADI digital audio connections. Even with all this power ATEM Constellation is extremely quiet with its innovative high efficiency thermal system.ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K PlusMassive 4 M/E Ultra HD model has 80 standards converted 12G-SDI inputs 48 12G-SDI dedicated outputs 16 ATEM Advanced Keys 4 multi-views and 2 SuperSource for a total of 12 DVEs in a 4 RU design.Designed for Massive Live EventsATEM Constellation switchers are ideal for concerts and music festivals because you can place cameras on all areas of the stage for amazing coverage. Even live sports benefit from the huge number of inputs and DVEs that let you build multi-layer compositions to cover the action. The fastest way to produce programming is live. With powerful internal graphics and lots of ATEM advanced chroma keyers you get everything you need for complex program production. ATEM Constellation is also perfect for house of worship programming as it’s big enough to allow professional results but it’s very simple to learn so it’s easy to train a volunteer crew.True Broadcast Style Mix Effects SwitchingATEM Constellation uses a professional program/preview style operation which is the exact same way large broadcasters use live production switchers. This means you are using the same type of switcher used by the television industry. Both the free ATEM Software Control and the optional hardware ATEM Advanced Panels will allow program/preview style switching. This means you can select a source on the preview bus to ensure it’s correct before pushing the CUT or AUTO button to switch it on air. This 2 step program/preview process means far fewer mistakes. Program/preview operation means ATEM Constellation is the best solution for training students for a career in broadcast television.Full Front Panel ControlWith a control panel built into the front panel you can simply walk up and operate the ATEM Constellation at any time. ATEM Constellation has similar software to the ATEM Mini so it’s a fantastic upgrade when you need a bigger switcher. Plus the front panel control buttons are the same premium type used on full sized panels so they are extremely reliable. You can even control keyers media and fade to black from the front panel. There is an industry standard 5 pin talkback headset connector on the front panel with controls for talkback control. Plus the front panel LCD and menu buttons also allow almost every single operational feature of the switcher to be accessed.Up to 80 Standards Converted SDI InputsThe ATEM Constellation family features HD models that have up to 40 independent 3G-SDI inputs as well as 4K models with up to a massive 80 independent 12G-SDI inputs on the new ATEM 4 M/E Constellation 4K Plus. Each input features a dedicated standards converter which makes it possible to convert any SDI video input to the switcher's video standard. You could have each switcher's SDI input run a different television standard and all inputs will work. On the ATEM 4 M/E models you can even output audio to multiple MADI digital audio outputs enabling you to delegate switcher audio sources to an external audio engineer for mixing.Up to 48 Customizable SDI OutputsThe ATEM Constellation family has a massive number of fully independent outputs. Even the small 1 M/E models have 6 outputs. The 2 M/E models have 12 outputs the 4 M/E models have 24 outputs and the 4 M/E Plus model has a massive 48 outputs. These SDI outputs are very powerful because you can independently route any SDI input or any internal source to each SDI output. That’s perfect for running independent feeds to stage screens master recorders and streamin
