The Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is a compact live production switcher designed for professional multi-camera streaming and broadcast workflows using SDI infrastructure. It features eight 3G-SDI inputs, two SDI outputs, a built-in hardware streaming engine, and an integrated control panel for switching, keying, and transitions. The Extreme ISO model records all eight inputs plus the program feed as separate ISO files, enabling full post-production editing and re-switching in DaVinci Resolve. With support for multi-view monitoring, onboard Fairlight audio mixing, and USB webcam output, it serves as a versatile hub for live events, corporate productions, houses of worship, and remote broadcasts.
