Blackmagic Design ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel 10 Walkthrough 

Doug this is Great! I purchased the 2ME Advanced Panel Last Year and NEVER knew all of this information. Now that I have the Constellation 8K this info is so important!! Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!!

I was literally just looking for some high quality images of this panel so I could see what hardware functionality it has on it (because the documentation is surprisingly lacking on the website). Thanks for the great video!

What I really live about this panel, it’s the ability to change the buttons to whatever position I want. Sometimes we can’t use the inputs in the right order, and the panel allows you to movem them around and put them back in order 😊

Trigger is pulled! Proud owner of the Advanced Panel 10! Thanks Doug for a GREAT walkthrough!

Thank you for this thorough walkthrough of the features! I'm still torn between the "10 buttons" model or the "20", pricing aside, the smaller model seems way easier to carry around in a case, and to pair perfectly with a Mini Extreme. We only have an Extreme ISO and a TVS HD for now, but I intend to somewhat replace (or complement) them with a Contellation HD, 2 M/E at minimum, or the 4 M/E which seems cool (for MADI) but is still unavailable. I guess I'll just wait until autumn to decide and continue to cobble things together for shows in the meantime. :D 10/10 will watch again :p

About to pull the trigger. Want something that makes switching my 2 m/e easier. At the moment I have 8 channels connected, however I’m feeling pretty confident that 90% of my gigs will not pass 10, and if the case I can put the key channels on channel 19 and 20 which would mean I have growth

Thanks for the overview Doug. I am going to be working on a 4Me Panel in a couple of months so this was a valuable insight in to the switcher/panel capabilities. I notice though if i do create a effect say a small DVE box with Color Border over.moving background and need to be able to recall it quickly that can only be done by going thru the macro recording/ building process. There isn't any way of taking a "snapshot" of the ME as with a Sony / Grass or any other "conventional" switcher. I assume the price point drives the software but is it that much more to add? Seems that would be a added feature many TD's would use.

Would love to see your review and opinion on the ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K 😊🙏

Hi there, awesome video. Is it possible to enable the greyed out KEY 3 and KEY 4? What happened if we want to use more than 2 Transition Key? Thanks.

Sir how to make window kindly reply if you already make video on this then share link & use of joy stick also

Can you set PTZ camera positions for recall with this?

Hey Doug quick questions! Is it possible to create a macro that begins playing a video from a hyperdeck connected to the ATEM and make it the program out? If so could that macro also toggle off any upstream keys or downstream keys. Could a macro utilities a stinger transition along with dsk or usk? I'd want to toggle off a scoreboard dsk, transition with our instant replay transition then put up a sponsor with a dsk over the instant replay. Also what would you recommend for an instant replay system? I've seen vMix can be good, especially if combined with a decent control surface. Thank you, your videos are amazing!

is there a way with this panel to record all the input cameras?

Hey, how did you manage to use super source on 1ME

Can we use atem series switchers to control constellation hds?

Can you make Animated super sources on the macros?

The "change state" logic of the Preview bus combined with the bus-swapping function of the T-bar makes it hazardous to use the Preview bus for those who don't have a background in broadcast television production. After you make an AUTO/CUT or T-bar transition, the Preview bus is now showing you what was previously displayed on the Program bus, BEFORE the transition was initiated. The problem is that's a counter-intuitive starting point for stage lighting designers, who base each consecutive lighting cue on the CURRENT lighting state, not on the PREVIOUS state. The fact that the BKGD, KEY 1, and TIE button states don't indicate which sources are currently displayed on the Preview bus (but instead, which sources will be reversed after the next transition) makes it even more confusing. What I just described is how an ATEM switcher works in "Program Preview" Switching Mode (selected in the ATEM Setup app, not in ATEM Software Control). In this mode, pressing the numbered source buttons on the ATEM switcher will route that source to the Preview bus (indicated in green), after which you can press the CUT or AUTO buttons to trigger a Program bus transition (green and red indicators swap sources). However, ATEM Mini's default to "Cut Bus" Switching Mode, in which pressing a numbered source button cuts directly to that source on the Program bus, without use of the CUT or AUTO buttons. In that mode, the Preview bus is bypassed (no source buttons ever turn green) and USK/DSK buses are activated on the Program bus directly with their ON AIR buttons. The problem I have with the Advanced Panel (and the ATEM Software Control app as well) is that instead of conforming to the currently selected Cut Bus or Program Preview mode, it tries to finesse the difference, implementing BOTH switching modes at the same time. If you press a source button on the upper Program row, it will turn red and immediately switch the Program bus to that source, as in Cut Bus mode. If you instead press a source button on the lower Preview row, it will turn green and immediately switch the Preview bus to that source, as in Program Preview mode. The problem with that is that pressing a Program bus button may also change the Preview bus display (because you will now transition from a new starting source). The upshot is that in order to use the green Preview bus consistently, you should avoid pressing any of the red Program bus buttons. Likewise, if you want to stick with Cut Bus mode, you should avoid using the green Preview bus buttons. While this may be second nature to broadcast television veterans, it's a persistent source of confusion for newcomers. None of this is explained in detail in BMD's manuals and I'm not sure if I spelled out all the details correctly myself.

Good day doug, do you know of any panels other than this one that can control an atem via ethernet? No Computers no USB just ethernet?

i have a question... how can i add a clear com system to the atem talkback converter?? is any easy way to do it? nice work... and one more thing... in that panel they put a Audio button, do you know why? no doing anything... best regards

What would you say is the best way to control your Constellation 2M/E? Going to buy one for our first rack and are still looking for a way to control it.

Don, what’s the difference between this and the Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio Pro 4K Live Production Switcher? They appear to have similar capabilities?

Why would you ever not want the background to be included in the transition? The only thing that drives me nuts about this control is you constantly have to keep hitting background with the key you want to keep it active.

Is this unit powered by POE ?

Thank you for this! One question, I"m working in an environment with 12 external inputs (6 cameras, 6 HDMI -> SDI solutions). Can I map the 2 extra external inputs to that second input row, or is it for internal sources only? I really want to use this unit but that would be a deal breaker.
