FAQs

Can I use this with non-Blackmagic switchers?

No, the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel 20 is specifically designed to communicate with Blackmagic Design ATEM series switchers.

Does this require a dedicated power source?

Yes, it requires power. It is highly recommended to use both power inputs for redundancy to prevent a blackout during production.

Can I switch more than 20 inputs?

Yes, while there are 20 physical buttons, the panel supports shifted cross-points, allowing you to access up to 40 inputs.

What is the function of the joystick?

The joystick is primarily used for positioning DVEs, adjusting color correction, or controlling other parameters within the ATEM software.

Is the panel heavy to carry?

The unit weighs 8.7 kg, making it sturdy for desktop use while remaining portable enough for mobile production cases.

Troubleshooting

Panel is not detected by the ATEM switcher

Check your Ethernet cables and verify that the panel and the switcher are on the same network subnet.

LCD labels are blank or incorrect

Ensure the panel is properly synced with the switcher software and check that the label settings are correctly mapped in the ATEM control software.

Buttons feel unresponsive

Perform a power cycle by disconnecting and reconnecting the dual power inputs; if the issue persists, check for any physical obstructions under the button caps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, professional tactile feel for accurate switching
  • Extremely portable design for use in mobile production units
  • Redundant power supply increases system reliability
  • Integrated network switch saves rack space and cabling complexity

Cons

  • Requires existing Blackmagic Design ATEM ecosystem
  • Higher learning curve for users unfamiliar with broadcast workflows
  • Physical footprint may be tight for very small desk spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the panel, connect it to your ATEM switcher via Ethernet. Use the internal menu system on the LCDs to assign the panel an IP address that matches your network subnet. The unit is compatible with various ATEM models and can manage up to 4 M/E rows on larger switchers. For care, keep the unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Periodically wipe the surface with a dry, microfiber cloth to ensure the LCD labels remain legible. Avoid exposing the fader and joystick to liquids or fine dust, as these moving parts can be sensitive to debris.
