You can control the Constellation 8K locally via the front panel buttons, or you can use the built-in Ethernet connector to control the system from a computer using the included control panel software. The built-in Fairlight audio mixer supports 80 channels of de-embedded audio from SDI, plus 64 channels in via MADI. Talkback functionality is available via the 5-pin XLR on the front of the unit or the RJ12 connector on the back.General The ATEM Constellation 8K features the following built-in capabilities:16 upstream keyers in Ultra HD, 4 in 8K supporting chroma, linear, and luma keying4 downstream keyers in Ultra HD, 2 in 8K.16 advanced chroma keyers in Ultra HD, 4 in 8KTalkback communication is supportedNone Mix-minus is supportedThere are 4 transition keyers (Stinger/DVE)Supports up to 28 layers in UHD and 7 layers in 8K21 pattern generators are available in Ultra HD, while only 9 are available in 8KSupport for 2 color generators4 DVE with 3D borders and drop shadow are supported in Ultra HD; one is supported in 8KControl is via front push-button switching with illuminated buttons, software, or an optional hardware panel.64 routable windows in Ultra HD, and 16 in 8KTally support (red for program, green for preview)ATEM Software Control Panel The included ATEM Software Control Panel provides control over the switcher. Featuring a well-designed interface with a visual switcher and parameter palettes for making quick adjustments, the ATEM Software Control also lets you access camera control, audio mixing, media, macro programming, and even control of HyperDeck disk recorders.Built-In Fairlight Audio Mixer The ATEM Constellation features a built-in Fairlight audio mixer that makes it possible to do extremely complex live sound mixing. The internal mixer supports up to 156 channels. Eighty mixer channels are de-embedded from the SDI inputs, and each input channel features a high-quality 6-band parametric EQ and compressor, limiter, expander, and noise gate, as well as full panning. Extra channels for the analog input, talkback microphone, and media players are supported as well, and the audio mixing features can be controlled via the ATEM Software Control, a Mackie-compatible panel, or Fairlight Audio Console.Advanced Keyers The ATEM Constellation 8K features 16 ATEM Advanced Keyers for high-quality chroma or luminance keying. The chroma keyer features a color picker to sample background colors for automatic generation of the key parameters. Precise controls for edge and flare are supported, and there is even a foreground color corrector, so you can match the "look" of the foreground layer to the background layer for making seamless compositions.
