A control panel with a difference

PostFri Jun 06, 2025 4:31 am

I have built a 4K broadcast van that includes 2 Vision Control and Tech positions; each with 4 camera RCP's (12 all up).
It also has an ATEM 20 input 2ME Production Studio 4K, ATEM 2me Advanced Panel and a Videohub 40x40.
There are also a variety of other BMD devices incuding Ursa Broadcast, Micro Studio cameras etc, all 4K.
Each technical position has BMD SmartView 15", SmartScope Duo and Multiview 4 for monitoring.

I designed and built single rack mount control panels to control all the monitoring devices.
The control panel has 20 source buttons with a shift key to allow access to 40 sources. There are 4 available destination buttons (A, B, C, D).
It can control any ATEM buss including Program, Preview, ALL Auxillary, Keyers, Supersources, DVEs etc etc.
It can also control any VIDEOHUB up to the biggest currently available (all destinations).
In addition I have built into it full SmartScope, SmartView and MultiView controls.
It is configured using a rotary knob and a 16x2 LCD display.
It is controlled by an Arduino Mega2560/W5500 ethernet and can run POE.

I am building 6 of these for my broadcast van and I have been asked to build 4 more for an associate.
If you are interested in these units I could mass produce them as required (POA).
The rack casing is all plastic and I am considering also selling them as a kitset. Also I am looking at a desktop version as 5 rows of 4 source buttons.
For more info PM me. I will soon (ish) publish some pictures and training videos.
