Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD8 is a compact live production switcher with built in broadcast control panel, 8 x 3G-SDI inputs, streaming, recording, multiview, DVE, keyers, USB webcam, media players, talkback and optional cloud storage. You can use any video software with ATEM Television Studio HD because the USB connection will emulate a webcam! That means you can plug into a computer and use any video software that works with a webcam. The software is tricked into thinking the ATEM Television Studio HD is a common webcam, but it's really a live production switcher! That guarantees full compatibility with any video software and in full resolution 1080HD quality. Imagine doing a presentation from a professional broadcast studio to software such as Zoom, Teams or Skype! For streaming, the webcam output also works with streaming software such as Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster and more!

ATEM Television Studio HD supports recording to external USB flash disks! Or if an optional M.2 flash disk is installed, you can record direct to internal cloud storage! The internal storage plus any external USB disks will be available to share over the local Ethernet network so other people can work on post production tasks such as editing, color correction and graphics preparation. All recordings are in H.264 format with AAC audio for broadcast quality video and small file sizes. You can also connect multiple USB disks, so recording will continue if a disk becomes full. You even get buttons on the control panel to start recording and you can see record status in the multiview!
