The panel’s bright LCD displays provide real‑time status feedback, customizable labeling and menu navigation, enabling rapid access to switcher functions without relying on on‑screen interfaces.

A built‑in joystick adds precise positioning for DVE moves, keyframe control, camera adjustments and on‑air graphics placement. Ethernet‑based communication ensures low‑latency integration with ATEM switchers and supports remote operation across facility networks. The design is optimized for broadcast trucks, studios, control rooms and live events, offering the speed and reliability required for professional switching work. With its rugged metal construction, intuitive layout and advanced ATEM feature support, the ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel 20 brings high‑end control and cinematic transition handling to any modern live production workflow.
