Select Sources – Switch camera to air instantly!
ATEM Production switchers are designed to give you the most advanced live switching workflow! The switcher control panel has separate program and preview buses that you can use together to quickly and accurately switch sources on air. Selections made on the preview bus will appear on your preview screen, so you can see what you have ready to go on air, then take it live by pressing the cut or auto buttons. Switching sources on the program bus go live immediately as it is always on air!

Transition Control – Select your favourite transition
ATEM Broadcast Control Panels give you total control over your transitions. All creative transitions are instantly available on the dedicated hardware panels and include the same cut, mix and wipe transitions that you can also control from the ATEM software control panel. You can cut directly, use the mix and wipe buttons and fader bar or just press AUTO to trigger the selected transition! With ATEM Broadcast Panels you get precision switcher control with the buttons you need at your fingertips.

Transition Styles – Transitions at the push of a button!
ATEM gives you a huge range of transition styles and loads of options to control them. Immediate source to source transitions can be selected by simply pushing the cut button. For more interesting transitions you can choose mix, dip or wipes, and if you are using the advanced ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E Production Studio 4K model you also get exciting programmable DVE or animated stinger transitions. Take manual control with the fader bar or select auto transition button for smooth timed transitions.

Wipe Transitions – Standard wipes made easy
ATEM Broadcast Panels give you fast and flexible wipe transition control! You can select wipe patterns directly from the broadcast panel and customize them to suit your production style.

Custom Macros – Trigger macros at the touch of a button!
When you’re running one of the ATEM hardware control panels selecting macros is faster because you can access all the switchers macros, and you have full control to record and play back macros at the push of a button. This means that you don’t need to use a computer to work with macros because you can operate them from the same hardware panel you are switching from. If you edit or modify a macro the change will appear on all connected control panels because the macros are stored in the switcher itself. The 2 M/E Broadcast Panel has dedicated macro buttons because of it’s larger size so you can set up different macros under different buttons and trigger them instantly at the push of a button and in the same way that you can cut between video sources.

The ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E Broadcast Panels give you precision control knobs so you can create the perfect chroma key quickly and accurately. Easily adjustable controls at your fingertips means you can adjust live key settings instantly if lighting or shadows change during the broadcast so you will always deliver incredible results.

Fader Bar – Exciting manual transitions
Amazing live performances often require transitions that need to be controlled manually. The ergonomically designed T bar control lets you ride transitions perfectly as part of the live performance! Sometimes the emotion of a live event means you need to feel a transition to get it perfectly in sync with the camera operators and talent. Like a conductor, the vision mixer is part of the performance and drives the mood as the production unfolds.

Auto Transition – Fully automatic transitions
Just below the ATEM broadcast panel fader bar is the auto transition button. Selecting auto will instantly perform the next transition you have setup in the transition block. You can use auto transitions for every type of transition including dissolves, keying, wipe patterns and animated DVE transitions.

Fade to Black
The broadcast panel fade to black button controls the entire output of the switcher! Selecting FTB will smoothly fade your program output to black at a preset transition rate. FTB is very useful for the start and end of your production or for fading out to commercial breaks.
