Professional Control Panel for ATEM Live Switchers
The Blackmagic ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel with 30 keys is a tactile control surface designed for live broadcast switching. Plugging straight into your ATEM switcher via Ethernet, this panel gives you real-time, hands-on control over all video inputs, keyers, fades, and transitions—making it the go-to tool for directors, vision mixers, and live stream operators.
Quick Input Access with 30 Backlit Buttons
Equipped with 30 dedicated color-backlit input buttons, the panel lets you cue cameras and sources instantly. With support for shifted crosspoints, you effectively gain access to 60 sources in total. The visual feedback and lighting adjustment help operate confidently in darker production environments.
Built-In LCD Displays for System Feedback
Three independent system control LCDs allow at-a-glance monitoring of source information, transition settings, and system menus. This direct readout helps with fast decision-making during live events, ensuring you can manage media and transitions without constantly referring to a computer screen.
Precision Switching with Joystick and T-Bar
A professional-grade joystick provides three-axis control for DVE positioning and animations, allowing you to sculpt transitions with accuracy. The ergonomic T-bar enables smooth manual fades, wipes, and dissolves. A dedicated Fade-to-Black button and a preview transition button give you further real-time control over output edges.
Comprehensive Keying at Your Fingertips
This panel supports up to four upstream and four downstream keyers, fully controlled via dedicated buttons and encoder dials. That means you can manage mix effects, chroma keys, graphics, and overlays on the fly without relying on a computer interface—ideal for live overlays or dynamic camera effects.
Reliable Power and Control Interface
Power is delivered through an optional IEC main input with a second input for redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted operation during critical events. A USB-C port enables firmware updates and system management. The Ethernet-based design eliminates the need for network bridges, simplifying deployment.
