Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO

All-in-one HD live production switcher with ISO recording and integrated control panel

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO is a professional all-in-one live production switcher designed for broadcast studios, live events, and professional streaming environments. It combines a powerful HD video switcher with an integrated hardware control panel and ISO recording capability, allowing production teams to manage switching and record individual video sources within the same system.

The switcher features eight 3G-SDI inputs that support HD video formats and include standards conversion, allowing a wide range of video sources to be connected and synchronized within the production workflow. Multiple 3G-SDI outputs provide program feeds, auxiliary outputs, and monitoring options, enabling integration with professional broadcast equipment and recording systems.

Designed for efficient live production workflows, the ATEM Television Studio HD8 ISO includes an integrated control panel with program and preview buses, transition controls, and dedicated switching buttons. Operators can perform cuts, transitions, and source selection directly from the built-in panel while managing the production through the ATEM control environment.

The ISO recording functionality allows the system to record all video inputs along with the program output, making it possible to re-edit productions after the event. This makes the switcher well suited for live broadcast, event production, and professional streaming environments where post-production flexibility is required.
