Powerful HD switching for live events, supporting up to 10 individual 3G/HD-SDI inputs built into a 1 RU chassis, is at hand with the Blackmagic Design ATEM 1 M/E Constellation HD Live Production Switcher Bundle.

Incredible video switcher. Convenient bundle.
I've worked with live video production for over 25 years. It's amazing what Blackmagic Design is able to accomplish, especially at this price point.With 20 inputs and 12 outputs (plus 2 multi-viewer outputs), this one device was able to replace an older ATEM 2 M/E switcher and VideoHub in one rack space.Our older ATEM 2 M/E had problems connecting Mac computers using HDMI to SDI adapters. The Constellation works perfectly using inexpensive adapters from Blackmagic and other brands.Only minor complaints are:1) The buttons are very bright and can not be dimmed. Hoping a future software update will address this.2) The USB-C webcam function works ok, but isn't nearly as good as the Blackmagic UltraStudio Mini. The UltraStudio has less lag, smoother motion, and supports resolutions other than 1080p.Blackmagic doesn't include a power cable with the switcher. Thankfully this bundle includes a power cable and quality HD-SDI cable.
