The Blackmagic Design ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 30 allows you to add the ultimate in professional control to your ATEM Constellation setup. It has 30 input buttons on each row and 2 independent system control LCDs, one for each row. You get 8 LCDs for custom labels and each row includes a separate select bus. Plus each row can control up to 4 M/Es in larger switchers. It gives 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 2 M/E model to access all M/Es simultaneously, with an input button for every single SDI source on the ATEM Constellation switcher!
Switch Cameras To Air Instantly
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 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 Control & Styles
When selecting transition types, a system control LCD screen will display the options for that transition, so you can change its parameters without navigating through complex menus. It's all instantly available! That gives you multiple ways to switch. You can even cut directly on the program bus. With ATEM Advanced Panels you get all the controls you need to access all transition types fast. The ATEM switchers also give you a huge range of transition styles, like MIX, DIP, WIPE and DVE transitions. The ergonomically designed t-bar control lets you ride transitions perfectly as part of the live performance! Sometimes the emotion of a live event means you need to feel a transition to get it perfectly in sync with the camera operators and talent. Auto transitions can be programed for durations from 1 to 250 frames and the benefit is each transition is consistent through your program. This ensures you can accurately select your source and transition type before triggering the action, so you always know what is going to happen and there's much less chance of mistakes going to air.
System Control LCDs
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. Its incredibly easy and very fast! There's 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.
Customizable Control Options
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!
