Blackmagic ATEM Mini User Manual Connecting ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel

ATEM Mini is designed to be controlled using its own built in control panel, but if you have a larger production that is more complex and have many sources, graphics and intricate keys to handle, or you need to operate your ATEM Mini from a separate location, an ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel can help you.

ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel

The ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel is designed for switchers with one mix effects panel, but has the ability to control up to 4 M/Es if you decide to expand your production. The control panel provides high quality buttons for fast, comprehensive control over your switcher, plus CCU control. System control is fast and convenient using a centralized LCD menu with soft buttons and controls. When using ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel and the software panel together, any change on one panel will be reflected on the other and you can use both panels at the same time.

ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel connects directly to your ATEM Mini via Ethernet and is programmed with a default fixed switcher IP address that works with your ATEM Mini. Once plugged in, the panel will instantly recognize ATEM Mini and you can then switch sources and control your ATEM Mini via the external panel.

📘

NOTE When plugged in directly to Pro or Extreme switcher, the panel works using a fixed IP address, but you can also plug into a network and control the switcher from a completely different location. To read more about controlling an ATEM Mini switcher using a network, refer to the ‘connecting to a network’ section.

To connect ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel to your ATEM Mini, simply connect ATEM Mini’s Ethernet port to your ATEM 1 M/E Advanced Panel’s Ethernet port using a standard CAT5 network cable.
