ATEM Constellation 4K vs 8K Differences

PostWed Mar 20, 2024 8:31 am

Just starting a new thread listing all the differences between the 2 models here for anyone interested. Correct me if I'm wrong or if I missed something.

### ATEM Firmware 9.4.0

ATEM Constellation 4 M/E 4K :
- Has HD Downconvert on SDI output 24
- Can toggle a countdown overlay on SDI Out 1
- Can grab still in the media pool
- 2x Faster Boot Up Time
- 1080p Streaming over USB
- USB-C instead of USB-B

ATEM Constellation 4 M/E 8K :
- 8K mode with 10 Inputs and 6 Outputs
- 1x 8K multiview ( if switcher is set to 8K mode )

Both units have :
- Custom audio routing in SDI Audio channels 3-12
- SuperSource borders
- 4x 4K Multiview
- Ability to turn Multiview Labels on and off
- Ability to turn Multiview Borders on and off
- Custom Multiview Border Colors

Thank you for this post!

It's not easy to track down this information.

Sounds like the 4K has more useful feature than the 8K, and costs a couple thousand dollars less.

It's nice to be able to control the multiview borders and labels, but it's strange they don't add that functionality to all their switchers. BM is strange like that. And who needs 8K?
