Blackmagic Design BMD-SWPANELADV1ME30 ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel 30

The ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel 30 is designed for broadcast engineers, live production switchers, and AV integrators who need full hardware control of ATEM switchers in environments where desk depth is limited. The 30-button single M/E row layout fits tight front-of-house positions, mobile production units, and broadcast control rooms where a larger panel simply will not fit without compromising workflow.

Each input button features its own LCD for custom labeling, eliminating guesswork during fast-paced live switching. The three independent system control LCDs provide dedicated access to downstream keyers, transitions, and other production parameters simultaneously. The panel can control up to four M/Es when paired with larger ATEM Constellation switchers, making it scalable beyond its compact footprint. Dual power inputs add redundancy for mission-critical productions where downtime is not an option.

The built-in 4-port Ethernet switch removes the need for external network hardware, which is a meaningful advantage in tight production spaces or touring setups where rack space and cable runs must be minimized. Physical broadcast-quality buttons, knobs, and a T-bar fader give operators tactile access to all switcher functions at once, an advantage over software-only control in high-pressure live environments. For teams already running ATEM Constellation, this panel unlocks the full depth of that platform's effects and routing capabilities.
