Native SMPTE-2110 with redundant 100G Ethernet connections

ATEM 4 M/E Constellation IP is built from the ground up for SMPTE-2110 and uses high-performance 100G Ethernet for video, audio and metadata. The eight QSFP28 ports operate in redundant pairs according to SMPTE-2022-7, which means that identical data streams are sent over two separate networks for maximum security during live broadcasts. Each redundant port pair can handle up to eight Ultra HD channels simultaneously. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

32 inputs and 32 outputs for large productions

The switcher offers 32 video inputs and 32 video outputs that can be freely used within the SMPTE-2110 environment. Each input has its own standard converter and frame synchronizer, which means that video sources with different resolutions or frame rates are automatically adapted to the project standard. The result is a stable and smooth production even when multiple sources are used simultaneously. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

16 Advanced Chroma Keyers for virtual production

ATEM 4 M/E Constellation IP is equipped with 16 ATEM Advanced Keyers that provide advanced chroma keying for news production, virtual studios and live broadcasts. The keyer system includes professional tools for color sampling, edge adjustment, spill suppression and color correction to create clean and realistic compositions. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

12 DVEs and dual SuperSource processors

For creative productions, the switcher offers four internal DVE processors as well as two SuperSource processors that together provide a total of 12 DVE layers. This enables advanced picture-in-picture solutions, multi-camera interviews, sports graphics, presentations and complex visual layouts directly in the switcher without the need for external video processors. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5} :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Four independent multiview outputs

The four built-in multiview outputs can display up to 64 different video sources simultaneously across four screens. Each multiview can be individually customized with tally indications, audio meters and source names to give operators full control over production. This is particularly useful in larger control rooms where many cameras and signals need to be monitored simultaneously. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7} :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Professional audio management with Fairlight Live

ATEM 4 M/E Constellation IP features an integrated Fairlight audio mixer with 68 channels and support for advanced audio processing. Features such as 6-band parametric EQ, compressor, limiter, gate, expander, mix-minus and audio-follow-video provide comprehensive control over audio production. The system also integrates directly with Fairlight Live for even larger productions. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9} :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

USB webcam for streaming and video conferencing

The rear USB-C port can be used as a webcam output in 720p or 1080p. This allows the switcher to connect directly to Zoom, Microsoft Teams, OBS Studio, XSplit and other video platforms without additional hardware. The computer simply recognizes the ATEM device as a regular webcam. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11} :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
