Blackmagic Design recently announced the all new ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel, a compact hardware control panel elegantly designed to work with all ATEM switchers. The advanced panel features the most recent broadcast technology, with smooth professional buttons, knobs, T-Bar fader and joystick, a built in LCD and more.
“The new ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel is exciting because it gives customers total control of up to 20 inputs and four mix effects rows, all in a compact design that can be taken virtually anywhere,” said Grant Petty, Blackmagic Design CEO. “The built in LCD along with the dynamic button screens, customizable colors and labels takes the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced to a whole new level of design and features for live production. We’ve worked hard to build a state of the art panel that will enable customers to work on their live programs faster and more accurately than ever before!”
ATEM 1 M/E Advanced PanelThe newly designed buttons and LCD based labels on the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel help improve clarity and reduce incorrect key presses. With customisable color back-lighting on the panel's button for status indication and activity. In addition, dynamic displays are placed above and below the buttons. These provide customisable text, multi language support, and the custom label colors. The combination of button colorization and customisable text labels help customers quickly identify important keys while working on high pressure, fast paced live switched programs. The new M/E selection buttons allow control of up to 4 independent M/Es on a single panel so customers quickly switch between and control up to 4 mix effect rows, effectively enabling total control of a 4 M/E switcher from a 1 M/E hardware panel. This makes it possible to use the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel with the new ATEM 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K. ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel A new custom design T-Bar fader and buttons have been logically grouped in a familiar broadcast layout, so customers with experience using older panels can get up and running quickly. Dedicated groups of buttons are spaced apart so controls for things such as transitions, macros and keyers can be quickly located and used without the risk of accidentally hitting the wrong button. The ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel features a shift button that doubles the number of inputs that can be controlled from 10 to 20.
