The ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel is a full-featured hardware control panel for Blackmagic Design ATEM switchers, connecting over Ethernet to give a broadcast studio direct, hands-on tactile control rather than working through software alone. A large information LCD, surrounded by soft-touch menu buttons and rotary encoders, handles intuitive programming of control functions, while every programmable button carries its own LCD scribble strip showing exactly what it's assigned to do. The buttons themselves are colour-backlit for quick identification, and a weighted T-bar sits alongside a joystick dedicated to DVE and camera adjustment, giving the operator physical control over effects and camera parameters without leaving the panel.
