Blackmagic ATEM Monitoring Rack Panel 40

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Monitoring Rack Panel 40 is a full 2RU video converter and switcher control panel built for operators who need more buttons, a bigger display, and broadcast-grade reliability in a rack-mountable form factor.

Where the Panel 20 gives you 20 source buttons in 1RU, the Panel 40 doubles that to 40 buttons across 2RU, and adds a large 5-inch built-in LCD — a real-size video monitor right on the rack panel face.

Two redundant 10G Ethernet inputs carry SMPTE-2110 streams and convert them to 2 x 12G-SDI and HDMI for local monitoring. The front-panel talkback connection is included, and a dedicated NMOS control port keeps IP routing separate from the production network.

For larger productions where 20 source buttons aren't enough — or where operators need a bigger local display without adding a separate monitor to the rack — the Panel 40 is the answer. Announced at NAB 2026 on April 14, 2026.

Two independent 10G RJ45 ports with SMPTE-2022-7 compliance. One path drops mid-broadcast — the other takes over instantly, no frames lost.

Converts native SMPTE-2110 IP video to 2 x 12G-SDI and HDMI simultaneously. Connect local broadcast monitors directly — no external converter needed.

Double the button row of the Panel 20. Assign, cut, and switch up to 40 sources directly from the rack panel — no software, no laptop, no delay.

A proper 5-inch built-in LCD displays live video directly on the panel face. Local rack monitoring without a separate monitor consuming rack space.

Standard 5-pin XLR talkback connector on the front panel. Plug in a broadcast headset and stay in communication without extra intercom cabling.

A dedicated 1G RJ45 Ethernet port for ATEM switcher connection and NMOS control — keeps IP routing traffic isolated from the production network.

Pairs with ATEM Constellation IP in permanent installations. 40 lit buttons cover every source directly — no shifted mappings, no software panel required at the rack.

2RU and dual redundant power deliver a reliable, self-contained control and monitoring unit. The 5-inch LCD eliminates a separate monitor from the rack entirely.

Physical 40-button control and large on-panel display let operators manage the full production from the rack room without software panels or a separate video monitor.

Fast-paced multi-source environments benefit most from 40 direct-access buttons. Reach any camera or source instantly during a live news or sports broadcast.
