Compact 2 M/E Switcher for HD Production

The ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD is a professional live production switcher built for broadcasters and streaming teams who need multiple mix/effects banks in a single rack unit. It delivers 20 standards-converted 3G-SDI inputs and 12 independent 3G-SDI aux outputs for complex multi-camera workflows. The integrated 2.2" LCD provides immediate program monitoring and menu access without an external display.

Rack-Mount Integration and Connectivity

The compact rack-mount chassis includes a built-in hardware control panel for direct operation during setup or as a backup to software control. Rear connections handle all 3G-SDI video, balanced audio and Ethernet for network management. The high-efficiency thermal system keeps the unit quiet enough for sound-sensitive environments such as studios or OB vans.

Software Control and Fairlight Audio Included

ATEM Software Control is supplied at no extra cost for Mac 11.11 Big Sur, Mac 12 Monterey or later and Windows 10 or 11, giving full switcher operation from a computer. The internal Fairlight audio mixer adds EQ and dynamics processing on every input, reducing the need for a separate audio console. Buyers who require 4K resolution, more than 20 inputs or a larger built-in screen will need a different model.
