Extreme: Double the Power of ATEM SDI Pro

This article was Written By

Our Product Research Team

Get to know them!

With the inclusion of built-in individual input recording, the Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is one of the most comprehensive video mixers on the market today. In fact, many of the production pros at Sweetwater proclaim that it’s one of the best tools for livestreaming and producing quality video content. This 12-channel video mixer packs all the functionality and features of the ATEM SDI Pro ISO but brings eight standard converted 3G-SDI inputs and four SDI outputs to the table. It also features a DaVinci project file and Blackmagic RAW file relinking for lightning-quick editing in post-production. With stunning features like direct streaming via Ethernet, direct recording to USB flash disks, USB webcam connection, and more, it’s no secret why the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO is favored for business, gaming, eSports, investment, education, and so much more. Quick to use and easy to master, the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO brings pro-level broadcasting and production capabilities to your fingertips for a wide range of differing applications. Did we mention that it even comes with a Fairlight audio mixer with EQ and dynamics?

Change your livestreams for the better

The Blackmagic Design ATEM SDI Extreme ISO will change the way you livestream. With Ethernet connection, the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO can livestream directly to your favorite platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook, all in stunning quality without dropping frames. Also, if you’re out on the field and need to access the Internet quickly, the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO can connect via USB to Apple or Android phones and utilize their 5G or 4G mobile data. Record easily to USB flash disks in H.264 video files and AAC audio, and upload your files wherever you need them. What’s more, users can feel comfortable using a variety of broadcast-quality cameras with the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO because all sources re-synch to the switcher automatically. That's nine separate H.264 video streams, packing in eight clean ISO video feeds in addition to program video!

All about that audio

However you roll, the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO can connect both desktop and lapel microphones to its dual independent 3.5mm stereo audio inputs. You’ll easily be able to control the audio levels, thanks to dedicated buttons on the ATEM's face. The Extreme model gains users a headphone jack for direct workflow optimization. You’ll also benefit from a Fairlight audio mixer with compressor, limiter, and 6-band EQ — live sound mixing during your streams and broadcasting has never been easier!

A brilliant broadcast-quality switcher

For those interested in careers in broadcasting, the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO offers features found in high-end broadcast studios like ATEM Advanced Chroma Key, Fairlight audio mixer, DVE, Still Store for graphics, and more. Select the Cut or Auto buttons to choose between cut or effects transitions like dissolve, dip to color DVE squeeze, DVE push, and more. Access even more extended features, thanks to the built-in ATEM Software Control app on Mac/Windows through USB or Ethernet.

When you first receive your ATEM SDI Extreme ISO, it’ll function in “cut bus” mode. Users can easily change this to “program/preview” style operation to suit their needs. The former operational mode takes little effort to master, while the latter operational mode most closely resembles that used by professional broadcasters.

Professional production for a wide variety of applications

Business presentations, interviews, and more just got better! Hook the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO up to Skype, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams and deliver your PowerPoint presentations with tools like picture in picture. Education and training videos will benefit from multi-camera productions, fast setup, and the ATEM Software Panel. eSports competitions become easily tackled with a frame rate of 60 fps — instead of lagging, that means you get a super quick and responsive picture. Lastly, investors and Kickstarter presenters can easily connect cameras with different shots of products while also showing the business plan slide from a tethered laptop or computer. Whatever application you use it for, the ATEM SDI Extreme ISO makes production easy.

A video mixer with a view

With ATEM SDI Extreme ISO’s multiview, you’ll be able to monitor a professional multiview of your video inputs in use. ATEM SDI Extreme ISO users can toggle between 16 custom views at a time, including preview, program, audio mix, and statuses for recording and streaming. Tally indicators also let you know when each source is on air. Custom labels and audio meters further help you toward a broadcast or livestream that’s always better than the last!

Chroma keying, virtual sets, and SuperSource!

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO hooks you up with an uber-powerful green-screen keying effect with four separate ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers. This enables per-camera keying, with the other four computer inputs available for designing professional virtual sets. Macro setups let you load your chosen backgrounds into media players. Use a color picker to sample background colors, take advantage of a foreground color corrector, and precisely control edge and flare. Even create graphics and use them in concert with the Chroma Key for title overlays!

The ATEM SDI Extreme ISO makes multi-layering easier with SuperSource, providing four extra DVE layers and a background layer. Essentially, you can assign a SuperSource DVE to any ATEM SDI Extreme input and effortlessly layer your sources overtop a unique background for instantaneous and pro-grade picture-in-picture results — ideal for multi-source interviews and more!

Rated 5/5
This thing is AMAZING
There's is so much to be said for this little miracle. The short version is we used it today for the first time to produce, record and stream our Sunday church worship service. With just a little preparation and effort, one can achieve amazing... read more results.

We are soon moving into a larger building, and I'm testing all of our gear before the move. I opted for SDI candidly because a dislike large numbers of HDMI connections that inevitably get wonky in a church environment with volunteer tech teams. Yes, it means I use several micro converters, but that locking BNC connector on the SDI runs makes it worth while. Plus I have a few long camera runs planned for the new space.

I love the headphone out on this model, and it's easy to send a livestream mix from our X32. In recent weeks I have enjoyed the ISO recording of all camera inputs (use a supported SSD like a Samsung T5, which has been bulletproof) and editing the service in post via Resolve 18 (free software, but GPU intensive). Lastly, and today was the day, we live streamed from the ATEM over our newly acquired Starlink business class satellite internet, and the stream went off without a hitch.

There is so much functionality packed into this little switch and it is a joy to use. I'm huge fan now. close
