ATEM Constellation 4ME 8K
Switcher Rental — DFW

Blackmagic's flagship 4 M/E live production switcher — 40 12G-SDI inputs, native 8K mode, 16 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, 156-channel Fairlight audio mixer, and 4 multiviews. Deployed and engineered by our local broadcast team across Dallas / Fort Worth.

Overview

A 4 M/E Broadcast Switcher Built for Anything

The Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 4ME 8K is the flagship of the ATEM line — a 2 RU live production switcher with 4 mix/effects banks, 40 standards-converted 12G-SDI inputs, and a 156-channel Fairlight audio mixer baked into the chassis. It's the same switcher class you'd see at a national broadcast, but priced and packaged so DFW productions can actually use it.

Lumina deploys the ATEM Constellation 4ME 8K for broadcast television, festivals and concerts, megachurch services, large corporate events, multi-camera sports productions, awards shows, and 8K-mode workflows. Need an engineer to build the show, scripts, and tally? Need an Advanced Panel or Camera Control? We package the switcher with the crew and control surfaces to match.
