The Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Advanced Panel is a flagship, broadcast-grade hardware control surface designed to deliver comprehensive tactile control over the most powerful ATEM live production switchers, namely the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation HD and ATEM 2 M/E Constellation HD models. Engineered for the most demanding live broadcast environments—such as major network control rooms, large-scale sports production trucks, and flagship event broadcasts—this panel provides immediate, dedicated physical access to nearly every function of the switcher. Its expansive layout is organized into logical sections mirroring a traditional broadcast console, enabling technical directors to manage complex, multi-layered productions with speed, precision, and confidence.

The control surface is vast, featuring over 40 banks of illuminated source selection buttons (providing access to hundreds of sources), dedicated rows for Preview, Program, and multiple Auxiliary buses, and a comprehensive transition section with controls for mixes, wipes, DVEs, and stingers. It includes a full-featured audio section with 16 physical faders and a master fader for the integrated Fairlight audio mixer, dedicated transport controls for two media players, and a central joystick with surrounding knobs for advanced DVE manipulation. Four high-resolution LCD screens provide clear, at-a-glance feedback on preview/program buses, keyer status, audio meters, media pool contents, and system configuration, keeping the operator fully informed.

Constructed with a robust metal chassis and high-quality control surfaces, the Advanced Panel is built for 24/7 reliability. It connects to the ATEM switcher via Ethernet, allowing for flexible placement in the control room. By consolidating control of video switching, audio mixing, media playback, advanced effects, and system configuration into a single, purpose-built interface, this panel represents the ultimate control solution for operators who require unmatched efficiency and creative command during the world's most prestigious live productions.
