The Blackmagic ATEM Constellation 8K shares the 4 M/E Constellation 4K's full broadcast processing power while supporting resolutions up to 8K via quad-link 12G-SDI, built for facilities producing native 8K content.
Very few productions need 8K today, but flagship venues and sports facilities investing for the next decade do. The Constellation 8K takes 40 standards-converted 12G-SDI inputs across 4 M/E banks with 16 ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyers, 2 SuperSource processors and 4 independent Ultra HD multiviews, and combines 12G-SDI links via quad-link to carry resolutions up to 8K — the same processing depth as the Constellation 4K, extended for facilities shooting 8K natively.
