The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 is equipped with 40 input buttons on each of its 2 M/E rows, giving operators extensive control over multiple video sources. This is ideal for managing complex live broadcasts with numerous cameras, graphics, and media players. The large button layout allows users to quickly switch between inputs, making it easy to manage dynamic multi-camera setups, such as live sports, concerts, or studio productions.

With two fully independent Mix Effect (M/E) rows, the ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 offers flexible control for managing multiple layers of video feeds, keying, and effects. This enables operators to manage different sections of the broadcast simultaneously, such as camera feeds and graphics, or assign separate M/E rows to different operators for smoother multi-team collaboration. This is crucial in high-pressure environments where real-time control over multiple video sources is essential.

Each M/E row is equipped with LCD screens that provide clear and customizable labels, allowing operators to quickly identify video inputs, keyers, and macros. This feature improves workflow efficiency, as users can configure the panel’s display to reflect the unique needs of their production, ensuring that critical inputs and controls are easily accessible during live events.

The panel includes precision faders and dedicated transition control buttons, providing smooth, tactile control over transitions such as fades, cuts, and wipes. This gives operators real-time control over the speed and style of transitions, which is crucial for delivering a polished, professional broadcast. The ability to fine-tune transitions is especially important in live events where visual flow and timing are key to viewer engagement.

The ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 features dedicated buttons for executing complex macros and effects. Operators can create macros to automate sequences of actions, such as switching inputs, applying transitions, or triggering keyers, simplifying the workflow during fast-paced productions. Additionally, advanced effects like DVE (Digital Video Effects), wipes, and stingers are easily accessible, allowing operators to deliver visually dynamic broadcasts.

The multi-color backlit buttons on the panel allow operators to quickly identify the status of each input or function, with different colors indicating preview, on-air, or other states. This feature enhances visual clarity during live productions, ensuring operators can make fast, accurate decisions. The ability to customize button colors further enhances the panel’s usability, especially in complex productions with multiple layers of video and effects.

The ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 connects to ATEM switchers via Ethernet, allowing it to be easily integrated into networked production environments. This connection enables seamless communication between the control panel and the switcher, even when operating remotely. The panel is also compatible with ATEM Software Control, allowing operators to manage both hardware and software interfaces simultaneously for greater flexibility in live production setups.

The ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 is designed for professional use, with a durable, rack-mountable form factor that fits into broadcast studios, control rooms, and mobile production units. Its rugged construction ensures reliable performance during demanding live events, while its space-efficient design allows it to be easily incorporated into larger production systems.

The ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 is perfect for a wide range of live production environments. In live sports, concert broadcasts, TV studios, and large-scale events, this control panel offers the precision and flexibility needed to manage multiple inputs, effects, and transitions with ease. Its powerful M/E control and macro capabilities make it ideal for productions requiring real-time control over complex video feeds and effects.
