Blackmagic Design Spares - ATEM 4M/E BCast Studio 4K - PCB MezzThe Blackmagic Design Spares ATEM 4 M E Broadcast Studio 4K Mezzanine PCB is a specialized high density interface board for the "top of the line" 2RU rack mount switcher. Because this switcher handles 20 inputs of 12G SDI and supports frame rates up to 2160p60, the data throughput is too massive for a single circuit board. The Mezzanine board acts as the "Input Output Engine," sitting directly atop the Main PCB to handle the physical physical signal

The Blackmagic Design Spares - ATEM 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K - Mezzanine PCB is a specialized high-density interface board for the "top-of-the-line" 2RU rack-mount switcher.

Because this switcher handles 20 inputs of 12G-SDI and supports frame rates up to 2160p60, the data throughput is too massive for a single circuit board. The Mezzanine board acts as the "Input/Output Engine," sitting directly atop the Main PCB to handle the physical physical signal conditioning for the massive array of BNC ports.


Core Responsibilities

  • 12G-SDI Bank Management: Specifically handles the 20 inputs and the multiple Program/Aux outputs. Each port has dedicated 12G-SDI re-clocking to ensure signal integrity over long cable runs.

  • Standards Conversion: In the Broadcast Studio 4K model, the Mezzanine board contains the hardware that allows every single input to have its own standards converter. This allows you to plug in a mix of HD, Ultra HD, and different frame rates simultaneously.

  • Signal "Sandwich" Interconnect: It passes processed video data down to the Main PCB (where the 4 M/E rows and 16 Keyers are calculated) via high-speed, multi-pin board-to-board connectors.


When to Replace the Mezzanine PCB

On this professional-grade unit, the Mezzanine board is often the part that "takes the bullet" for the rest of the system during electrical mishaps.

  • Bank Failure: If a group of inputs (e.g., Inputs 1–10) suddenly goes black while the rest of the switcher functions, a localized power regulator or controller chip on the Mezzanine board has likely failed.

  • Sync/Conversion Errors: The switcher connects to the computer and shows the Multiview, but the inputs show "Unsupported Format" or glitchy video despite the "Standards Conversion" being turned on.

  • BNC Physical Damage: With 20 inputs and over 10 outputs, the BNC connectors are under immense stress in mobile fly-packs. If a connector is sheared off or the internal pin is pushed in, the Mezzanine board is the part that must be replaced.

  • Heat-Related Artifacts: If the video shows "sparkles" or digital noise that only appears after the unit has been on for 30 minutes, the 12G-SDI processing chips on this board are likely overheating or failing.


Technical Installation Note

Repair Level: 5 (Expert). This is a high-risk repair due to the density of the components.

  1. Massive Port Disassembly: You must remove the hex nuts and washers from all 30+ BNC connectors on the rear of the unit. Using a power driver is discouraged as it is very easy to strip the threads or slip and gouge the PCB.

  2. The "Lifting" Danger: The board is connected to the Main PCB by several high-density "mating" connectors. You must lift the board perfectly level. If you tilt the board while lifting, you will bend the pins on the Main PCB, which usually results in needing to replace both boards.

  3. Thermal Pad Criticality: This board generates an immense amount of heat. You must replace all thermal pads (often 10 or more) that sit between the Mezzanine chips and the internal heatsinks. Reusing old, compressed pads will lead to a "thermal runaway" failure of the new board.

  4. Weight & Alignment: The board is heavy and large. When reinstalling, ensure all 30+ BNC ports align with the chassis holes before pressing down on the interconnect pins.


Diagnostic: Mezzanine vs. Main

  • It is the Mezzanine Board if: The ATEM Software Control works, the Multiview UI is visible, but all or most of the SDI Inputs are dead.

  • It is the Main Board if: The unit won't boot, won't connect via Ethernet, or the 4 M/E effects (like the DVEs) are crashing the system.

Expert Advice: Because the ATEM 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K is a flagship unit, it is highly sensitive to static. If you are replacing the Mezzanine board, ensure you are working in a climate-controlled, ESD-safe environment. A single static pop to one of the 12G-SDI pins during installation can permanently damage the new board.

Are you losing a specific group of inputs, or is the entire SDI I/O bank unresponsive?

Sturdy, well built has wheels that makes it easy to move and also lock in place.
Size: 100LBS
Happy with my purchase. Sturdy well built, love that it has wheels makes it easy to move around and wheels lock in place. I choose to fill it with sand and water as it gets really windy where we live this will prevent my umbrella flying to the neighbors house again 😅

Must Read before Purchasing!!!! Height is lost if you use this base!!!!
Size: 100LBS
I was so very excited about this for our umbrella - and then I put it together. I called my adult son to come and take a look - I had to be doing something wrong. To our dismay, I was not. The lowest pole in the umbrella system has 4 welded pieces with holes meant to connect to the legs, thus stabilizing the structure. The lowest pole measures (guestimate) 3 feet. When you choose this system, you do not use the original cross-bars, nor the original lowest pole with the 4 welded pieces. Rather, you use a newly provided lowest piece roughly measuring a foot. In doing so, the structure loses a total of almost 2 feet. For average-height individuals, this would not be a problem. For individuals 6' or greater, this is quite a problem. My son is 6'6. My husband is 6'2. I really wanted the portability of the product. However, we will be returning it for the kind that rest on the cross-bars. I wish someone had mentioned this in the reviews I read and saved me the trouble.

Happy hound!
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
My 2 yr old bloodhound destroys every toy in minutes, but not this one. My husband and I actually buy toys to see how long they last for fun. Although the croc is NOT indestructible, it lasts a whole lot longer than most. After an hr or so, I took away the only piece he's chewed off which is part of the back leg. Otherwise nothing else is missing off the croc. Our boy has been very occupied with this new toy and we're satisfied with his new distraction!

Definitely a tough toy
Color: Blue
This is one of the few toys my Boxer/american bulldog mix hasn’t been able to tear apart. He loves chewing on it and I love that he doesn’t chew on stuff he shouldn’t. I have such an issue with toys being torn apart the day I bring them home. I wish there was a safe way for it to have a squeaker since he loves squeakers but I don’t think that is possible.

Croc-sational
Color: Blue
My tough chewer is OBSESSED with Croc. Stands up well, small particles occasionally come off but this beats going thru 3 stuffies in an hour. Good value, easy to clean and great for our 91lb pitty
