Using the ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel
52
Control Panel Overview
The ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel plugs in using an ethernet connection to the ATEM processor chassis.
This keyboard has similar functions to the software panel, and the main buttons are laid out in a similar M/E
style, so it's easy to move between the hardware and software interfaces.
If fast and critical live switching is required, then the ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel is an incredibly fast and
robust control solution. There's nothing like pushing high quality buttons on a panel to ensure fast and
accurate switching!
When using the hardware broadcast panel and software panels together, any change on one panel will be
reflected on the other, and you can use both panels at the same time.
The ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Panel can be simultaneously connected to two ATEM 1 M/E Production
Switchers, two ATEM Television Studios, or two ATEM Production Studio 4K model switchers. A combination
of any two of the above switchers can also be connected. Using this single panel, you can control the two
switchers individually or together.
Using the Control Panel
Mix Effects
The program bus, preview bus and source names display are used together to switch sources on the
program and preview outputs.
Source Names Display
The source names display uses labels to represent the switcher's external inputs or internal sources. Labels
for the external inputs can be edited on the settings tab of the software control panel. Labels for the internal
sources are fixed and don't need to be changed.
Pressing the SHIFT button will change the source names display to show extra sources, called shifted
sources, allowing selection of up to 40 different sources.
When aux has been selected in the system control block, or in the M/E 2 destination bus, pressing the two
SHIFT buttons simultaneously will change the source names display to show protected sources, available for
routing to auxiliary outputs. Protected sources are program, preview, clean feed 1 and clean feed 2.
Program Bus
The program bus is used to hot switch background sources to the program output. The source currently on
air is indicated by a button that is illuminated red. A blinking red button indicates that the shifted source is
on air. Pressing the SHIFT button will display the shifted source.
