The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 30 is an expanded hardware control surface that provides enhanced capacity for operating an ATEM 2 M/E series live production switcher. It increases the number of direct source selection buttons to 30, allowing operators instant, single-press access to a vast pool of cameras, media players, and auxiliary sources—crucial for fast-paced productions like sports, news, or large award shows where source count is high. This panel retains all the dedicated controls for the switcher's two multi-effects banks, keyers, transitions, and media, but with a layout optimized for managing significantly more inputs without banking or paging.

Featuring high-resolution LCD screens, tactile faders, knobs, and trackballs, the panel offers precise control over every aspect of the live production, from complex layered graphics to audio mixing. Its ergonomic design places all critical functions under the operator's fingertips, enabling rapid execution of intricate show elements. Connection to the ATEM switcher is via a single Ethernet cable, ensuring reliable, low-latency communication that mirrors the responsiveness of traditional broadcast control rooms.

This panel is engineered for the most demanding broadcast environments that use ATEM 2 M/E switchers. It caters to large-scale productions requiring both the advanced functionality of the switcher and the operational speed afforded by direct access to 30 sources, making it an indispensable tool for major broadcast facilities, mobile trucks, and high-stakes live event control rooms.
