Atem was designed to support the current 3Gbps HD standard, meaning operators
can produce images in the highest resolution possible today or be ready for it
tomorrow. Atem is capable of processing the new 3G 1080p/60 standard in addition
to ALL other popular World TV Standards.
The Atem
inputs were designed to offer maximum flexibility; Every input has
built in up/cross conversion and synchronization so that Atem can accept a
mix of standard definition and high definition signals, timed and un-timed. DVD
and BluRay players, prosumer cameras and existing SD equipment can be used without
purchasing additional conversion gear. Four of the Atem auxiliary outputs offer down/cross
conversion making it easy to distribute an SD copy of the program.
HDMI inputs and outputs make Atem the perfect switcher for on-stage presentations. The two HDMI
inputs allow standard computer systems to be connected for graphic elements and PowerPoint
presentations without the need for external conversion gear such as scan converters. The HDMI and
Analog outputs are perfect for any projector or large screen display and Atem’s short processing
delay eliminates live action lag on the big screen. (HDMI not HDCP compliant)
Atem can input and output any analog, digital or computer signal. Analog signals can be Composite
(CVBS), S-Video (Y/C), RGsB, or Component (YPbPr). Digital signals can be SD-SDI or HD-SDI. A wide
range of computer resolutions are also supported via HDMI.

Atem makes monitoring your production simple and inexpensive. Atem features a dedicated connection
that outputs a ten channel multiviewer. Simply connect the multiviewer output to an inexpensive
HDMI or DVI display to monitor program, preview and up to eight sources.
Atem is suitable for even the most critical live production. Atem is built on an FAA certified
operating system which means 24x7 reliability and less than 10 second boot time. The optional
redundant power supply further enhances that reliability.

Atem includes Echolab’s unique and invaluable SuperSource™ with four picture-in-picture generators.
Ideal for multi box compositions - SuperSource™ allows the operator to pre-build sophisticated
compositions that can be taken to air simply by pressing the SuperSource™ crosspoint and does not
require the use of M/E keyers. The SuperSource™ includes four of its own keyers leaving upstream
and downstream keyers available for adding lower thirds, tickers and other elements.
The Atem utilizes our award winning Overture1 control panel. This panel features the highest
quality LED switches, fader bar and joystick that are usually only available on more expensive
switchers. It also includes redundant power supplies.
Atem is one of
the most powerful 1M/E switchers on the market. In addition to SuperSource™ and Stinger™
transitions, Atem features 4 M/E keys with Chroma key and pattern generators as well as 2
downstream keys. With Atem it is possible to build an eleven layer composition.
In addition to the unique multi-box SuperSource™, Atem also features an
advanced 2D DVE as standard. The DVE is available in the upstream keyers and includes sophisticated
3D borders and drop shadows, it can also be used to animate or reposition keys on screen. In the
transition block it provides compelling program transitions such as pushes, squeezes and moves.
Atem features an easy to use internal clip player that can be used for playing animated lower
thirds with key channel, animated backgrounds or short clips such as show openers, show closings,
and bumpers. The internal clip player is also integrated into the Atem Stinger™ transition.
Integrated Audio support allows you to add impact to your transitions and your overall
production.
Atem features intuitive next-transition workflow with a variety of transition options. In addition
to the standard Cut, Mix, Wipe transitions found on traditional mixers Atem features Dip, DVE and
the unique Stinger™ transition.
The Echolab Conductor is a PC based application that can be used to manage frame buffers, map
auxiliary outputs, create and launch macros, and control 3rd party devices.
To celebrate its 35th anniversary Echolab is offering special upgrade pricing to owners of any
