Searching for a powerful 8K video switcher for massive live productions? If that's the case, the Blackmagic Design ATEM Constellation 8K checks all the right boxes. This feature-laden Ultra HD video switcher gives you 40 12G-SDI inputs and 24 12G-SDI outputs, plus balanced audio, Ethernet, RS‑422 control, and MADI digital audio inputs to the unit's internal 156-channel Fairlight audio mixer. You also get four M/Es, four DVEs, 16 keyers, four media players, four multi-viewers, two SuperSource, and standards conversion on every SDI input. You can take command using the ATEM Constellation 8K's front panel, which includes an easy-to-read LCD screen, or you can add an external hardware controller or deploy the free ATEM Software Control app. Built-in talkback is also included. To top it off, the ATEM Constellation 8K runs quietly and economically, thanks to its high-efficiency thermal system and low-speed cooling fans.
