The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel is a professional hardware control surface designed to provide extensive, tactile control over an ATEM 2 M/E series live production switcher. It features a comprehensive layout with dedicated buttons, faders, and high-resolution LCD screens that give an operator immediate access to all switching functions, including source selection, transitions, keying, and media playback. This panel is engineered for complex broadcast environments like news studios, sports trucks, and major live events where speed, precision, and reliability are paramount, offering a more efficient and intuitive workflow than software control alone.

The panel's architecture mirrors the ATEM 2 M/E switcher, providing direct control over its two multi-effects banks, each with four keyers, along with dedicated controls for downstream keying, macros, and auxiliary outputs. It includes integrated trackballs and knobs for fine-tuning parameters like color correction and key edges. Connection to the switcher is via a single Ethernet cable, ensuring low-latency, responsive control that enhances the director's ability to execute fast-paced, multi-layer productions with confidence.

This control panel brings a traditional broadcast control room feel to ATEM-based productions. It is an essential tool for facilities and mobile units that require the operational speed and tactile feedback of a dedicated hardware interface to manage sophisticated live graphics and video switching efficiently, making it ideal for professional broadcasters and high-end live event producers.
