The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 20 is a professional hardware control surface offering extended capacity for operating an ATEM 2 M/E series live production switcher. It builds upon the standard advanced panel by doubling the number of direct source selection buttons to 20, providing quicker access to a larger pool of cameras, media players, and auxiliary inputs without the need to page through banks. This design is tailored for complex productions like live sports, news, and large events where operators need immediate, one-press access to a wide array of sources to execute fast-paced switching.

The panel delivers complete 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, featuring high-resolution LCD screens, faders, knobs, and trackballs, is engineered for efficiency and precision, allowing technical directors to manage intricate layered graphics and live video with confidence. It connects to the ATEM switcher via Ethernet, ensuring reliable, low-latency communication that is essential for live broadcast environments.

This expanded control panel enhances operational speed and capability for mid-to-large scale productions. It is an ideal solution for broadcast control rooms, mobile production trucks, and major live event venues that require the robust functionality of an ATEM 2 M/E switcher with the enhanced source accessibility and ergonomic control of a 20-source surface.
