FAQs

What is the main advantage of the ISO model?

The ISO model allows you to record each of the 8 SDI inputs as a separate H.264 video stream, along with the main program output. This provides extensive options for editing and re-purposing your content in post-production.

Does this switcher have a built-in screen?

No, the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO does not feature a built-in display. You will need an external monitor connected to the multi-view output to monitor all your video sources.

What video resolutions and frame rates does it support?

It supports Full HD resolutions including 1280 x 720 and 1920 x 1080, across various video modes like 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, up to a maximum frame rate of 60 fps.

Can I use this switcher outside of the United States?

Due to ITAR compliance regulations, export of this product outside of the United States of America is not permitted.

What are the audio input options?

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO includes 2 channels of Audio (L/R) input, in addition to audio embedded within the SDI inputs.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are typically managed through the ATEM Software Control Panel application. Download the latest firmware from the Blackmagic Design support website and follow the on-screen instructions.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the official Blackmagic Design website or your reseller for the most current warranty information, as this can vary.

Can I use analog cameras with this switcher?

The primary inputs are 3G-SDI. You would need an SDI converter to connect analog sources like older composite or component cameras.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on outputs

Ensure all SDI cables are securely connected to both the cameras and the switcher. Verify the selected input source and output configuration in the ATEM Software Control Panel.

Software Control Panel not connecting

Check the Ethernet cable connection between the switcher and your computer. Ensure your computer's IP address is within the same subnet as the switcher (refer to the manual for default IP settings). Restart both the switcher and the computer.

Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound)

Verify audio settings within the ATEM Software Control Panel. Check that audio is embedded correctly on the SDI signals from your cameras. Ensure audio sources are enabled and levels are set appropriately.

Recording not starting or failing

Ensure a compatible USB drive is connected and formatted correctly for recording. Check available disk space and try a different USB drive. Verify recording settings in the ATEM Software Control Panel.
