Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Advanced Panel 40

The Blackmagic Design ATEM 4 M/E Advanced Panel 40 is the full hardware control surface built to match the ATEM Constellation switcher, aimed at live broadcast and event productions running complex, high-channel-count switching. It gives a technical director dedicated physical controls for every function instead of navigating switcher menus on a screen, which matters when transitions and keys have to happen in real time during a live show. With four independent M/E rows, it's built for productions that need to manage multiple simultaneous program feeds from one panel.

• 4 M/E rows with 40 buttons per row: Provides 24 labeled LCDs across four independent rows for direct, at-a-glance source selection.
• Dedicated joystick DVE control: Full 3-axis (X, Y, Z) control for positioning wipe patterns and picture-in-picture effects live.
• Programmable auto transitions: Transition durations from 1 to 250 frames keep every cut or mix consistent throughout the show.
• Preview transition button: Simulates a transition or effect on the preview output before it goes to air, reducing on-air mistakes.
• Built-in macro triggers: Records and recalls custom macros from physical buttons without needing a connected computer.
• Fade-to-black with button guards: Smoothly fades the entire program output, with optional audio fade, while preventing accidental triggering.
• Ethernet-based remote control: Connects to ATEM Constellation over standard Ethernet so panels can be located anywhere and run in parallel.
