Then, when switched to 8K, all these features combine to make a powerful 8K switcher.

ATEM Constellation 8K features a compact 2RU rack mount design with a built-in control panel on the front. This allows operation of the switcher, critical during setup or for emergency use. Also included is a large LCD so users can see program output and change switcher settings via on screen menus.

With the built-in control panel, users can simply walk up and take full control of ATEM Constellation at any time. Uers get incredible power with both Program/Preview or cut-bus style operation. The buttons are the same premium type used on full sized panels, and allow control of transitions, upstream/downstream keyers, media players, and fade to black. But users are never limited, as the LCD menus also allow every single operational feature of the switcher to be accessed.

Each input features its own dedicated up and cross converter. That means it's possible to convert 1080p and Ultra HD sources to stunning 8K to use them in their 8K programs. When used in HD or Ultra HD, customers can connect up to 40 different sources in all formats up to 2160p60.
