Blackmagic Design ATEM Micro Panel

Portable hardware control panel for ATEM Software Control

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Micro Panel is a compact hardware control surface designed to provide tactile switching control for ATEM Software Control. It allows operators to perform source selection, transitions, and basic switching functions with physical buttons instead of relying solely on a computer interface.

The panel features a streamlined layout with illuminated buttons for program and preview selection along with dedicated transition controls. This layout mirrors the familiar switching workflow used in professional broadcast environments, allowing operators to quickly switch video sources and trigger transitions during live productions.

Designed for portability and flexible operation, the ATEM Micro Panel connects to a computer running ATEM Software Control via Bluetooth or USB-C. Once connected, it provides a physical interface for switching functions within the ATEM workflow, making it suitable for live streaming studios, small production environments, and portable switching setups.

The compact size allows the controller to fit easily into mobile production kits while still providing the tactile control benefits of a dedicated broadcast switcher panel.
