Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD8

Add an all-in-one live streaming switcher to your television studio, remote production, or live venue with the ATEM Television Studio HD8 from Blackmagic Design. This compact, redesigned live TV switcher is a great fit to any streaming production, providing eight 3G-SDI inputs that support up to 1080p60 video, built-in live streaming, USB webcam support, a 58-channel audio mixer, chroma keyers, DVE, transitions, media players, internal recording, and talkback support. The switcher is also compatible with the Blackmagic Cloud, so your program recordings can be available immediately from anywhere around the globe.

The switcher features an all-new button layout, and it’s made from polycarbonate material, so it’s much lighter than its predecessor. It provides numerous enhancements to the layout with professional buttons, LCD label displays, and an easy-to-navigate button layout. It includes all the features you’d need for studio operation, including talkback compatibility, GPI and tally interfaces, timecode, MADI input that support up to 32 input channels and 64 output channels for use with external switchers; input audio can be mapped to any of the eight SDI outputs as well as analog audio input and output.

The HD8 features built-in live streaming, and it can connect to the Blackmagic Cloud to share your program for a smooth remote workflow. It also features redundant Ethernet and power to keep your production going if one connection is lost. Two USB-C connectors are available for use as either a webcam, when connected to a computer, or you can utilize an external disk for recording your program.
Live Production
You get an incredibly powerful 8-input switcher with both program and two aux outputs, so you have everything you need for mobile production. That means you can connect up to 8 cameras. Plus you get professional camera control, talkback, and audio mixing, all designed into a familiar broadcast panel.
Distribution
With a built-in hardware streaming engine, you can live stream your event to a global audience. Recording to H.264 files with AAC audio means you get the correct format to upload to YouTube. Plus, you share live broadcasts with your audience by using the aux outputs and large screens and projectors.
Production Switcher Control
You get an advanced broadcast-grade switcher, with built-in ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, Fairlight audio mixer, DVE, still store for graphics, and more. Most of the features can be operated from the front panel, or you can use the free ATEM Software Control on macOS or Windows to access even more features.
