Extreme Reliability
Professional hardware based switcher for incredible reliability.
Broadcast and live production situations demand mission critical reliability! Thats 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!
