Product Information

Full details

The Blackmagic ATEM SDI Pro ISO is a professional, ultra-portable live production switcher designed for broadcasters and content creators who need to handle multiple SDI camera feeds with ease. It offers the unique ability to record up to five video streams simultaneously and automatically generate a DaVinci Resolve project file for rapid post-production editing. While it provides high-end functionality, users should note that it requires a basic understanding of SDI video workflows and a compatible computer for deep-feature configuration via the ATEM Software Control app.

FAQs

Can I use HDMI cameras with the ATEM SDI?

Yes, but you will need an external converter like the Blackmagic Micro Converter HDMI to SDI 3G for each HDMI device.

Does it record the program feed or just the ISOs?

It records both the program output (the final show) and the clean, individual feeds from each input.

How many microphones can I connect?

The device features two dedicated 3.5mm stereo analog audio inputs for microphones or music players.

Can I control the cameras from the switcher?

Yes, it supports professional camera control protocols for compatible Blackmagic Studio and URSA Broadcast cameras via the SDI feed.

Does the unit include a built-in screen?

No, it does not have a built-in display. You must connect an external monitor to the SDI output to view the Multiview.

Is it compatible with Mac and Windows?

Yes, the ATEM Software Control application is fully supported on both macOS and Windows operating systems.

Troubleshooting

Video source not showing in multiview

Verify the SDI cable is securely connected and that the camera is outputting a supported 720p or 1080p video format.

Recording not starting on USB disk

Ensure the USB drive is fast enough for the chosen recording bitrate and is formatted correctly. Check that the disk is not full.

Ethernet streaming not connecting

Check your internet connection and verify that your streaming key and service URL are correctly entered in the ATEM Software Control.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Hardware Connection: Connect your SDI cameras to the numbered inputs on the rear panel. Connect your display to the SDI output to monitor your Multiview.
