Blackmagic ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 20

ATEM Advanced Panels

Get professional broadcast style workflows!

For the ultimate in professional control you can add an optional ATEM Advanced Panel! Although you can use ATEM Constellation with the software control panel, using an ATEM Advanced Panel is so much faster! ATEM Advanced Panels open up the power of your ATEM Constellation because they give you an enormous amount of control, allowing you to setup more complex effects. It's also a nicer way to work because you have physical broadcast quality buttons, knobs and a t‑bar fader so you can access all features in the switcher, all at the same time. Imagine using the 4 M/E model to access all M/Es simultaneously, with an input button for every single SDI source on the ATEM Constellation switcher!

Select Sources

Switch cameras to air instantly!

ATEM Constellation has been designed to give you the most advanced live switching workflow. Internally, ATEM Constellation has separate program and preview buses that you can use to quickly and accurately switch sources. ATEM Constellation lets you see your preview bus selection by using an aux output or on the multi view. Then all you need to do is make selections on the preview bus of the ATEM Advanced Panel, which will appear on your preview screen, allowing you to see your source before it goes on air. Then you can bring the source online by pressing cut or auto! You can also switch sources on the program bus if you need them to go live immediately!

Transition Styles

Mix, dip, wipe, DVE and more!

ATEM switchers give you a huge range of transition styles! Mix transition will smoothly blend between sources just like an NLE cross dissolve. Standard SMPTE wipes are included and wipes can have edge softening for smooth dreamy transitions that are more exciting than simple cross dissolves. Dip transitions create a dip to color effect, however because you can dip to any video source, you could create really innovative effects! DVE transitions use the DVE to create crazy moves where the whole foreground image moves! Plus you can combine the DVE and a still image from the media pool to create graphic wipes! The t-bar fader even lets you manually position the transition for total control!

Wipe Transitions

Transform wipes into exciting effects!

Power up your wipe transitions by accessing parameters to transform them into exciting effects. While you can select the wipe pattern directly on the LCD, you can also add lots of customization to suit your production style. You can adjust parameters such as symmetry and softness, but there are also adjustments for colored borders with variable width and softness, as well as the position of the centre of the wipe. You can even use the dedicated joystick to set precise wipe pattern positioning!

Get complete control over wipe, symmetry, softness plus adjustments for colored border control with variable width and softness.

Keyer Control

Get perfect green screen keying

The system control knobs are ideal when doing chroma keying because you can finely adjust each parameter for clean key edges and seamless multi layer compositing effects. Unlike software control where you need to look at the user interface, the ATEM Advanced Panels have control knobs that you can hold while adjusting key parameters and looking at the video output live to ensure the key is seamless. Only fine adjustment of key settings live while watching the video, ensures your key is perfect.

Precision control knobs can create the perfect chroma key quickly and accurately for perfect multi layer effects.

System Control

Change switcher settings from the menus!

You get full control right from the panel using the system control LCDs. Each system control LCD has a direct access keypad with a button for each function, and LCD and soft knobs and buttons. Simply push a keypad button to see the parameters displayed in the large LCD so you can use the soft buttons and knobs to change each setting. It’s incredibly easy and very fast! There are hundreds of switcher parameters available for keyers, transition selection, DVE, color generators as well as switcher video standard, multiview setup and even input button remapping! You can even save and recall 10 individual panel set ups and store them in the panel! Plus the 2 M/E model as 2 totally independent system control menus, while the 4 M/E model has a massive 4 independent system control LCDs!

Powerful Custom Macros

Trigger macros at the touch of a button!

Another benefit of the ATEM Advanced Panel is the built in macros, where you can very easily record your own custom macros and trigger them to playback with the push of a button. This means that you don’t need to use a computer to work with macros because you can trigger them from the same hardware panel you are switching from. If you edit or modify a macro the change will appear on all the connected hardware or software control panels because the macros are stored inside the ATEM Constellation itself. You can set up different macros to trigger under each macro button and the thin strip LCD under the buttons will show you which button as which macro you have assigned.

Customizable Control Options

Control your ATEM switcher from anywhere in the world!

Because ATEM Constellation includes a standard Ethernet connection, you can use this connection to control it remotely from long distances away. The ATEM Advanced Panel, the ATEM Camera Control panel and the ATEM Software Control for Mac and Windows all use an Ethernet connection to the ATEM Constellation, so you can setup any combination of panels you need, for the freedom to decide your ideal control setup. What this means is you can have multiple control panels all working together in parallel and at the same time. Then all these panels can be located anywhere so you could control your ATEM Constellation from the other side of the world!

Change video outputs with a single button press

As well as the input buttons, each M/E row has a dedicated "select bus" for routing video into processing and selecting sources to the aux outputs. With so many aux outputs, you can select any source into any output, just like an SDI router. Conveniently located above the ME row buttons, the select bus lets change sources with a single button press so it's very fast to use. There are even labels to show you what source is on each button. The select bus also lets you directly select inputs for other internal processing such as the keyers and DVE. Only the select bus lets you route signals internally and via the aux outputs instantly!

Conveniently located in the select bus, you can quickly set the auxiliary output and then live switch sources at the push of a button.
