Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Control Panel

Dedicated hardware camera shading control for ATEM switcher workflows

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Camera Control Panel is a professional hardware control surface designed to provide precise camera shading control for live production environments using ATEM switchers. It allows operators to adjust camera settings in real time, helping maintain consistent color, exposure, and image balance across multiple cameras during live broadcasts and studio productions.

The panel features four independent camera control channels, each with dedicated controls for adjusting iris, pedestal, gain, shutter speed, and white balance. High-quality rotary knobs and illuminated buttons provide accurate parameter adjustments, while integrated LCD displays allow operators to monitor camera settings and quickly switch between connected cameras within the production system.

Designed for broadcast and studio environments, the ATEM Camera Control Panel connects directly to an ATEM switcher over Ethernet, enabling centralized control of compatible Blackmagic Design cameras. This allows a dedicated camera shader to manage image consistency across multi-camera productions, improving overall production quality during live switching.

The compact rackmount form factor makes the panel suitable for installation in broadcast control rooms, mobile production units, and studio equipment racks where reliable camera shading control is required.
