Blackmagic Design ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel

The Blackmagic Design ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel is a comprehensive hardware control panel for BMD ATEM switchers, providing hands-on, tactile control essential for broadcast studios. Connecting via Ethernet, it features an LCD information display with soft-touch menu buttons and rotary encoders for intuitive control programming. Each programmable button includes an LCD scribble strip for clear function display, with up to 20 inputs accessible by shifting the 10 input buttons. Curved indentations on the buttons help prevent incorrect keystrokes. Real-time control is enhanced by a 3-axis joystick for PTZ camera control and a weighted T-bar fader for adjusting transitions, wipes, and fades.

At the rear of the unit are dual Ethernet connections, a USB port for firmware updates, and power inputs. Use the IEC input for connecting to mains power or the 4-pin XLR 12V input for DC power supplies. The panel's chassis is sized small enough to fit in a standard equipment rack, allowing it to be implemented in broadcast trucks and fly-away kits.
