The Blackmagic ATEM 4 M/E Advanced Panel 40 is the flagship hardware control surface for ATEM Constellation switchers, built for broadcast centres running the full 4 M/E frame with dedicated operators on every row.
A 4 M/E switcher deserves a control surface that matches it row for row. The Advanced Panel 40 gives 4 M/E rows with 40 input buttons per row, 4 system control LCDs and 24 further LCDs for custom labelling on every button, 40 direct and 80 shifted cross points, and 4 fader bars with a 3-axis joystick for DVE and camera moves. It connects over Gigabit Ethernet with loop-through ports for linking additional panels or a media-management computer.
