Blackmagic ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel
The ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 30 and 40 are wider versions of Blackmagic's 2 M/E Advanced Panel, built for shows and studios where the switcher has more inputs than a standard 20-button row can label at once. Both have two M/E rows, each row able to control up to four M/Es on larger switchers, and both carry the same tri-color LED crosspoint buttons, dual fader bars, three-axis joystick and numeric keypad as the rest of the Advanced Panel line. The 30-button model adds a third independent system control LCD; the 40-button model adds a fourth.
Either panel connects over four Gigabit Ethernet ports with loop-through so it can sit at the far end of a long cable run from the switcher, and a USB-C port handles firmware updates. Two built-in redundant AC power supplies keep the panel running through a single PSU failure during a live show, which matters most on the panel sizes built for the biggest productions.
