Switchblade M9 4-channel 4K HDMI production platform

Professional-grade desktop for live broadcasting

Creating high-quality live events is now more accessible and cost-effective thanks to popular software-based switching applications. However, despite the lowered entry barrier, these applications still demand powerful hardware for optimal performance. Consumer PCs, unfortunately, are not built for live production. Switchblade Systems has become the trusted name for broadcast-ready production systems, catering to a wide range of productions from high schools to national broadcasters. The M9 production platform is engineered to deliver the perfect balance of performance, reliability, and flexibility for any broadcasting environment. The M9 comes out of the box with Windows 11 Pro, ready to support most popular live switching software programs, including:
