The Blackmagic ATEM SDI Pro ISO is a professional 4-channel 3G-SDI live production switcher designed for broadcasters, production studios, houses of worship, educational institutions, and live event producers who require reliable SDI connectivity, professional streaming, and advanced post-production capabilities.
