To automate complex sequences of precisely timed actions on your ATEM switcher, you can now create powerful shortcuts called macros. Record a sequence of transitions between video sources, including key effects, audio mixer adjustments, camera control settings and more using the ATEM software or hardware control panel. Macros are saved as XML files that can even be edited with a standard text editor so you can combine them together to build sophisticated sequences that would be impossible to execute manually during a live production. That means you can create unique looks for your programs that can be recalled instantly, copied between switchers and used over and over again.

Extreme Reliability

Professional hardware based switcher for incredible reliability

Broadcast and live production situations demand mission critical reliability. That's why ATEM Switchers use an internal aviation quality operating system. Cheap computer based switchers interrupt the video if the computer crashes, while ATEM doesn't have this problem because the computer is only the control panel. With ATEM you still have video output so your live event is protected from any possible computer failure. Simply use other control panels or restart your computer without interruption to the program.
