ATEM 2 M/E Advanced 40-input control panel - Blackmagic Design BLM-SWPANELADV2ME40

ATEM 2 M/E Advanced Panel 40 is a professional control panel with two M/E banks and 40 input buttons per row to select different video sources and apply transition effects used to manage the ATEM series video switchers produced by Blackmagic Design. Each bank can control up to 4 M/Es in larger switchers. It has four independent system LCD displays, one for each M/E bank. These displays provide system status information. Includes 8 LCD for customizable labels and one selector bus per desk. There are two power inputs for a backup source, and a 4-port Ethernet switch that eliminates the need for other network equipment, also ideal for live productions with less convenient spaces. This panel is particularly useful for live productions, television broadcasts and other situations where precise and fast control over video switchers is needed.
