The Blackmagic ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 20 is a professional dual‑row broadcast control surface engineered for high‑end live production workflows that demand speed, precision and fully tactile operation. Each of the two M/E rows features twenty premium broadcast‑grade input buttons backed by customizable LCD labels, allowing operators to manage large routing setups and rapidly switch sources with absolute confidence. The panel integrates two independent system control LCDs that provide instant access to deep switcher functions, enabling adjustments to keyers, macros, transitions and auxiliary outputs without interrupting program flow. A dedicated select bus on each row provides fast source selection for keying and DVE operations, while the smooth, weighted T‑bar fader enables artistic manual transitions with fine control over mixes, dips and wipes.

A high‑precision joystick offers three‑axis control for DVE positioning, keyframe animation and camera adjustments, giving operators the performance needed for dynamic motion graphics and advanced multi‑layer composites. Designed to pair seamlessly with ATEM Constellation and other ATEM switchers, the panel communicates over high‑speed Ethernet for low‑latency responsiveness and supports multi‑panel configurations for complex productions. Its robust metal construction, integrated status illumination and ergonomic layout make it ideal for studios, OB trucks, control rooms and large event environments where professional reliability and rapid switching capability are essential.
