Using External ATEM Hardware Panels
External ATEM hardware panels are external, ‘hands on’ control panels for ATEM switchers that
plug into your switcher using an Ethernet connection. The keyboard has similar functions to the
software panel, and the main buttons are laid out in a similar ME style, so it’s easy to move
between the hardware and software interfaces.
When using an external hardware panel and the software panel together, any change on one
panel will be reflected on the other, and you can use both panels at the same time. You can
also plug in more than one hardware panel if you need a more advanced solution.
This section shows how to use the different ATEM panels that are available should you need an
external hardware panel for your live production.
ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel
The ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel is designed for switchers with one mix effects row, or if you
need a hardware panel to control a mix effects row on a larger ATEM switcher with more than
one ME. Featuring advanced CCU control and the ability to control up to 4 M/Es from the one
panel. System control is generally faster and more convenient using a centralized LCD menu
with soft buttons and controls.
