Blackmagic Design ATEM Micro Panel
The Blackmagic Design ATEM Micro Panel is a portable, low-profile hardware control surface designed to provide tactile switching for ATEM Software Control. It is specifically built for the ATEM Television Studio HD8 and ATEM Constellation series, offering a professional physical interface for users who find a mouse and keyboard insufficient for fast-paced live production.
Core Functionality
-
Tactile Switching: Provides a physical high-quality button interface for selecting program and preview sources, performing transitions, and managing keyers.
-
Plug-and-Play Portability: Connects via USB-C to a computer running ATEM Software Control or via Bluetooth for a wireless setup. Its small footprint makes it ideal for fly-packs, remote broadcast trucks, or cramped desktop setups.
-
Customizable Workflow: While optimized for the ATEM 1 M/E layout, it can be mapped to control different M/E banks in larger switchers like the ATEM Constellation 4K.
Technical Features
-
Professional Buttons: Features the same high-quality, backlit curved buttons found on larger ATEM Advanced Panels, ensuring a consistent tactile feel and high durability for live environments.
-
Transition Control: Includes a dedicated Auto button for timed transitions and a Cut button for instantaneous switching.
-
Internal Battery: Equipped with an internal battery for Bluetooth operation, allowing for a completely wireless control surface that can be moved around a set or production office.
-
Status LEDs: The buttons change color based on the state of the switcher (Green for Preview, Red for Program), providing immediate visual feedback to the operator.

Operational Insight
The ATEM Micro Panel fills the gap between using a keyboard/mouse and investing in a full-sized 1 M/E Advanced Panel. It is particularly useful for operators who need to perform "blind" switching while maintaining eye contact with a presenter or a multiview monitor. Because it can connect via Bluetooth, it is the only ATEM hardware panel that allows for a cable-free production desk, significantly reducing setup time for mobile streamers and corporate video teams.
System Requirement: To use the ATEM Micro Panel, you must be running ATEM Switcher Update 9.6.1 or higher. It is designed to act as a companion to the software interface, not a standalone hardware controller that connects directly to the switcher's Ethernet port.
