About the Blackmagic Design ATEM2AP40 ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40

The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 is an extended version of the professional hardware control surface, offering even greater capacity for managing complex live productions on an ATEM 2 M/E switcher. It retains all the dedicated buttons, faders, and high-resolution LCD screens of the standard panel but significantly expands the number of direct source selection buttons—up to 40—allowing instant access to a vast number of cameras, media players, and auxiliary sources without paging through banks. This makes it ideal for ultra-complex productions like major sports broadcasts, election coverage, or large-scale award shows where dozens of sources must be managed instantly.

The panel provides comprehensive tactile control over the switcher's two multi-effects banks, each with four keyers, along with dedicated controls for downstream keying, macros, media playback, and audio mixing. Its layout is designed for speed and ergonomics, placing every critical function under the operator's fingertips to execute intricate layered compositions and rapid cuts with confidence. Connection to the ATEM switcher is via Ethernet, ensuring low-latency, responsive control that mirrors the reliability of traditional broadcast consoles.

This expanded panel represents the pinnacle of control for ATEM-based production environments, catering to the most demanding broadcast control rooms and mobile production trucks. It empowers large production teams to handle enormous source counts and complex graphics workflows with the efficiency and precision required for live television, making it an indispensable tool for top-tier broadcast facilities.

FAQs about Blackmagic Design ATEM2AP40 ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40

What is the Blackmagic ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40?

It is an extra-wide hardware broadcast control console designed to command Blackmagic Design ATEM live production switchers. It provides two physical M/E rows, each featuring 40 dedicated cross-point input buttons for fast, tactile control in large-scale multi-camera broadcast environments.

Which ATEM switchers are compatible with this panel?

It connects with any ATEM production switcher running ATEM Software Control, including the ATEM Constellation HD and 4K series (such as the 2 M/E and 4 M/E models), ATEM Broadcast Studio 4K, and smaller switchers across the ATEM family.

What operational advantage do the 40 direct cross-point buttons offer?

With 40 direct physical buttons per row, operators can access large numbers of cameras, media players, graphic channels, and video feeds without having to toggle shift keys. For productions exceeding 40 physical inputs, dual shift keys are available to double the accessible sources to 80 per row.

How does the panel communicate with the switcher?

The panel connects over a standard Ethernet IP network via integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports. It also includes an Ethernet loop-through port to daisy-chain additional hardware control panels, CCU systems, or control computers on the same broadcast LAN.

How is the ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 powered?

It features dual redundant internal power supplies (100–240 Vac) with independent IEC power inlets to safeguard against AC power loss during live broadcasts. It also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+ 802.3at) through its primary Ethernet interface.

What displays and visual readouts are built into the console?

Each M/E row includes dynamic LCD scribble strips directly above the cross-point buttons displaying custom source labels, input tally states, and customizable colors. Additionally, dedicated high-resolution LCD menu screens with associated rotary control knobs provide direct visual access to keyers, transitions, DVEs, and switcher settings.

What transition controls are available on each M/E row?

Each physical M/E row includes an ergonomically curved T-bar fader for smooth manual fades and wipes. Adjacent illuminated broadcast buttons provide instant triggering for Auto, Cut, and dedicated transition styles (Mix, Dip, Wipe, DVE, and Stinger).

What does the integrated 3-axis joystick control?

The built-in 3-axis joystick enables real-time positioning, scaling, and rotation of 2D and 3D Digital Video Effects (DVE). It can also be mapped to control pan, tilt, and zoom on compatible broadcast PTZ cameras and robotic heads.
