The Blackmagic ATEM 4 M/E Advanced Panel 40 is Blackmagic Design’s flagship broadcast control surface, engineered for the most demanding multi‑camera and multi‑layer live productions. Featuring four complete M/E rows with forty illuminated input buttons on each row, the panel offers unparalleled direct access to massive routing systems, allowing operators to work across complex multi‑M/E workflows with confidence and speed. Each row includes eight full‑color LCD button labeling screens, delivering a total of thirty‑two customizable displays that provide clear visual identification of every source, keyer, macro or function mapped to the panel. Four independent system control LCDs offer deep, menu‑driven access to advanced switcher features, enabling precise control of keyers, transitions, macros, auxiliary outputs, media players and SuperSource processing without relying on software interfaces.

The panel’s premium broadcast hardware includes a smooth, weighted T‑bar fader for manual transitions and a precision three‑axis joystick for DVE positioning, keyframe animation and camera adjustments. Designed to integrate seamlessly with ATEM Constellation switchers, it connects over high‑speed Ethernet and supports multi‑operator, multi‑panel configurations for large control rooms and OB environments. Its robust metal construction, broadcast‑quality key switches and ergonomic multi‑row layout ensure reliability, comfort and speed during long, high‑pressure productions. For facilities requiring maximum control over multiple M/E banks, advanced layering and real‑time graphics workflows, the ATEM 4 M/E Advanced Panel 40 delivers the definitive hardware solution for professional live broadcast environments.
